This May, leading up to the biggest decision of the X-Men’s lives, Eisner Award-winning writer Paul Jenkins and rising star artists Robert De La Torre and Laurence Campbell sow seeds of this discontent amongst the ranks of the mutant nation in X-Men: Prelude #1 (of 4)! There is a calm before every storm and in the months to come, the Children of the Atom will be faced with a decisive turning point. One that threatens to pit brother against brother, lover against lover, and mutant against mutant.
“To understand what is coming in the X-Men, you need to understand what has already transpired” says X-Men Senior Editor Nick Lowe. “The history of the X-Men is a huge tapestry and what we’re trying to do here is sum up the necessary info, while filling in blanks and adding new twists that will set fanboys a-Twittering. In this series, Paul lays out the complexities for the fans so they can see the foundation that is beginning to crack.”
The dream that Charles Xavier built – crumbles and what you knew about the X-Men changes here. It all begins in X-Men: Prelude #1 (of 4)!

“Thanks to his amazing run with Jeph Loeb, Ed’s become THE definitive Hulk artist of our time,” said Senior Editor Mark Paniccia. “HULK #30 is pure McGuinness madness, introducing new characters that are bound to be instant classics, and some Hulk villains that fans have been frothing for. All this and the Impossible Man, too.”

This April, red-hot writer Kieron Gillen (Thor, Generation Hope) kicks off an all-new era for the X-Men as the new writer of Uncanny X-Men! Things kick off in Uncanny X-Men #534.1, as Gillen teams up with superstar artist Carlos Pacheco for a special point one issue, a great jumping on point for new readers! When the public finds out that the former Mutant Menace, Magneto, is not only sitting off the coast of San Francisco, but an X-Man – there will be some explaining to do. Then, fan-favorite artist Terry Dodson joins Gillen for an all new explosive arc, beginning in Uncanny X-Men #535! Watch as Gillen and Dodson pit the X-Men against a force they thought they would never see again…inhabitants from BREAKWORLD! With a mission that will strike the lives of star-crossed lovers Colossus and Kitty Pryde, there’s no telling what can happen next!
“When I joined Matt [Fraction] on Uncanny, I believe I said I couldn’t be any more excited. I’ve been proved a shameful liar.” explains Gillen. “I’m even more excited now. When I look at what we’ve got planned, and knowing that I’m going to be writing it, I just lean back in my chair and cackle until my fiancée starts worrying about me.”
Just what does Kieron Gillen have planned for the Uncanny X-Men? And what could the spaceship from Breakworld mean for X-Men and the Marvel Universe? Find out as Kieron Gillen begins his all new X-tenure with three gripping issues in one month starting with Uncanny X-Men #534.1!
