It’s been a long time coming, but Marvel has confirmed that Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo will be relaunching “Uncanny X-Men” as part of Marvel NOW! with the title now focusing on Cyclops, Magento and Magick’s mutant revolution.
I’m going to preface these details by saying this may be my new favourite Marvel NOW! book.
We saw this week in the end of “AvX: Consequences” that Scott Summers broke out of prison with the help of Magneto, Magick and Danger with the intentions of forming a new team to protect the new mutants that have shown up since the end of “Avengers Vs. X-Men”. Well, “Uncanny X-Men” is going to continue the story of that team.
You will discover in the very first issue of ALL-NEW X-MEN exactly where Scott Summers’ head is at. Of all the X-Men that feel it is their job to further the legacy of Charles Xavier, no one feels it more strongly than Scott Summers.
Scott Summers himself is not only trying to save these kids but he is trying to train them and get them ready for what he feels is coming mutant revolution These new students represent his only hope for true redemption. And his only hope to make the world the way he really thinks it should be.
With Wolverine leading a school and Scott Summers leading a revolution, Marvel weren’t kidding when they said that “Avengers Vs. X-Men” would change the landscape of the mutant corner of the Marvel universe.
“Uncanny X-Men” debuts next February and for more details on the title, head over to Marvel for an interview with Brian Michael Bendis.
