It’s a BIIIIIG week for mutantkind and mutant fans next week. It’s a quadruple book week in the REIGN OF X era. The HELLFIRE GALA is over but there’s plenty of action starting with the debut of Krakoa’s first elected team in X-MEN #1! Over in COTA #5 the kids are not alright and may need some help of the X kind! In HELLIONS #13 there’s all sorts of Sinister trouble while over in X-FORCE #21 plant based woes continue to plague the team ( it’s Beasts fault obviously) as Man Slaughter enters the chat er… fray. As usual we have Frankensteined the lettered and unlettered pages for your viewing pleasure.
X-MEN #1
THESE X-MEN ARE… FEARLESS!
The heroes of Krakoa are here to save the planet! Things might be complicated between the nation of Krakoa and the rest of the world, but to the X-MEN, things are simple – you do what’s right, you protect those who need protecting and you save the world we all share. Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Sunfire, Rogue, Wolverine, Synch and Polaris are the chosen champions of mutantkind, and they will not shrink from any battle for their home planet. Writer Gerry Duggan (MARAUDERS, DEADPOOL, UNCANNY AVENGERS) reteams with superstar artist Pepe Larraz (HOUSE OF X, X OF SWORDS, UNCANNY AVENGERS) to chart the course of the X-Men in a world of the Reign of X!
