This week we have five new X-Men related titles hitting shelves on Wednesday 23rd August and all previewed below.
X-Force #43
COLOSSUS leads X-FORCE into the next era! But no one on the team is prepared for a mission set to fracture their trust and teamwork for all time. And don’t miss the first of legendary Daniel Acu?a’s run of covers on the series!
Storm #4
EXIT: STORM??!
STORM has walked away from the X-MEN! Ceding her leadership, she must come to grips with the truth of her powers, even as she pursues a new relationship. But is this what BLOWBACK wanted all along, or is there something even more sinister in the undercurrents of this turbulent episode in the saga of ORORO MUNROE?
Realm of X #1
Leaping straight from the astonishing events of this year’s Hellfire Gala, the unlikely team of Magik, Mirage, Marrow, Dust and Typhoid Mary find themselves stranded in…Vanaheim? And what’s even more confusing, the locals seem to believe that they hold the key to fulfilling a prophecy that can either raise the realm to riches – or cause it to fall to ruin. With Magik’s powers malfunctioning and a mysterious figure amassing power on the outskirts of the realm, these X-Men are going to have to band together if they want to stay alive long enough to find their way home!
Jean Grey #1
SUPERSTAR CREATORS TAKE JEAN GREY’S LEGACY TO FIERY NEW HEIGHTS! After the events of the Hellfire Gala, Jean’s life is in shambles. Mutantkind is in dire straits – and there’s nothing this founding X-Man can do. She’ll have to save herself first. And that means looking into her past – for the moment when it all went wrong – in a desperate attempt to save her and all Krakoa’s future. Legendary writer Louise Simonson returns to the X-Men with a story full of fan-favorite moments, heartrending revelations and pulse-pounding devastation!
Deadpool #10
HEART – BROKEN! Things aren’t looking great for Deadpool and his new paramour, Valentine Vuong. You know how it can be in love – you just want to be together, but there is always some secret society of killers that gets in the way and your heart and/or glass arms get shattered.
