Next week sees the release of “X-Men Prime” #1, the official kickoff of ‘ResurrXion,’ the new Marvel mutant status-quo shift. Ten ongoing series are part of ‘ResurrXion,’ and the line is a mix of current stories folding into the line, as well as new takes on old concepts. The mix feels very 1990’s-inspired – something I’m sure is not accidental – but also sees the greatest focus that Marvel has put on the X-books in years. We want to know which of the ten books you’re most excited about picking up. Read the solicitation blurbs, then vote in the poll, and then give us your reasoning in the comments!

Illustrated by Alessandro VittiBobby Drake has been in the super hero game longer than most. But while reflecting on what he’s accomplished over the years, he realizes that the legacy he’s built is a few good one-liners and a string of failed relationships. Not only that, but now a younger version of himself has emerged from the timestream and he’s more put together than Bobby ever was: already a world-class hero in his own right, but also totally comfortable in his own skin, complete with a relationship with a handsome Inhuman to boot. In this new ongoing series penned by Sina Grace (Burn the Orphanage, Self-Obsessed) and drawn by Alessandro Vitti (SECRET WARRIORS), Bobby realizes that the time is never or now, and sets out to build a life and legacy he can be proud of…and be the best ICEMAN he can be!
