Uncanny X-Men Covers (original) (raw)

Gail Simone and David Marquez are bringing the X-Men home in a new run of Uncanny X-Men which started last month. In the wake of Krakoa’s fall and Professor X’s imprisonment, the series sees Rogue take on the responsibility of leader by reuniting a core team of X-Men at a new home in New Orleans. It’s a new era for one of the most groundbreaking titles in comic book history. These were the stunning covers on the first issue.

Among the covers are exciting shots of the new team lineup by acclaimed artists Leinil Francis Yu, Andy Kubert, Stephen Segovia, and series artist Marquez; the first in a series of team member spotlights by Luciano Vecchio; and a gorgeous Negative Space Variant Cover of Jubilee by best-selling cover artist John Tyler Christopher. Plus, enjoy a throwback to one of Rogue’s most memorable tales in a Hidden Gem Variant Cover by the legendary Jim Lee. Also available is the third part of Scott Koblish’s epic Wraparound Connecting Variant Cover that will test even the most diehard X-Fan’s knowledge, an eye-catching collage piece by Mr Garcin, and a logo variant cover.

In today’s world, mutants need the X-Men more than ever. With Professor X gone, Rogue reluctantly finds herself as the X-Man designated to keep the team together. Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee forge a new home in a New Orleans, and when four mysterious young mutants show up at their doorstep, that home becomes a haven. Protecting mutants from a world that hates and fears them, and using their powers to ensure there’s a future worth living in. They are the Uncanny X-Men.
