Marvel unveiled a trailer for its upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch, kicking off the From the Ashes era later this year. The series, written by Gail Simone with art by David Marquez, and colors by Matthew Wilson, will see Rogue taking leadership of a new mutant team in the wake of the scattering caused by Krakoa’s ending. Joining Rogue in New Orleans is Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee, as they band together to help shepherd four new, young mutants. In the trailer, it appears that battling Sadurang, a giant snake-like dragon in Mexico City promises massive action in the series.
In the press release, Simone spoke about following Krakoa in this series, stating:
“The shadows of the giants who have worked on this book are all over the landscape, and it gets a little emotional to think about. Everyone has an X-Man they feel speaks to them directly. There’s no other franchise like it in comics. It’s an honor and a thrill and a panic, all at once. My first idea was, I want to lay out a welcome mat for all readers: new, returning and lifelong. They deserve the best mutant stories I can give them. I want to focus on the humanity, no pun intended. Big action, big personalities.”
Alongside the trailer, Marvel also shared a look at the interior for issue #1, which can be seen below.
