As a seasoned gamer and longtime X-Men fan, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming crossover event, “Raid on Graymalkin”. Having lived through the Krakoan era and witnessed the fall of mutantkind, the return of the X-Men to their roots feels like a homecoming.
In a new turn of events, Cyclops is zeroing in on the location where he spent significant years as a student under Professor Charles Xavier, following the conclusion of the Krakoan era. The X-Men have made a grand return in X-Men: From the Ashes and two main titles are X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. Both series have been running their individual storylines, but they’re set to intersect in a crossover called “Raid on Graymalkin.” The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters has been transformed into a mutant prison, which Cyclops finds unacceptable. Upon learning that one of his dearest friends is imprisoned there, Cyclops decides it’s time to bring down the walls of his former home.
Marvel unveiled a sneak peek for issue #8 of X-Men, kickstarting “Raid on Graymalkin” penned by Jed MacKay, Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, Livesay, Marte Gracia, and VC’s Clayton Cowles. The storyline commences with a comatose Beast being detained within the walls of Graymalkin Penitentiary. As he regains consciousness, he discerns two voices outside his cell – President Lopez from Terra Verde, and warden Corina Ellis of Graymalkin Prison. President Lopez has a grudge against Beast due to the malevolent manifestation of Henry McCoy causing him trouble during the Krakoa era. In order to secure Beast for a public trial, Corina is receiving a substantial financial contribution from President Lopez.
We shift our focus towards The Factory in Merle, Alaska, where Cyclops’ X-Men group resides. Cyclops informs the X-Men that one of their team members has been kidnapped, and Quentin Quire locates Beast’s trail leading to Graymalkin Prison. “It’s time we take action,” Cyclops declares. When Psylocke queries whether he meant “take action by breaking in,” Cyclops clarifies that he did not.
In the upcoming “Raid on Graymalkin” Part 1, Psylocke soothes Cyclops to ensure his anger doesn’t blur his discernment. Beast, who strayed during his stay on Krakoa, has returned to his gentler self, and Cyclops is resolved to prevent another such separation. The following chapters will likely involve Rogue’s team from “Uncanny X-Men”. As hinted by the cover of “X-Men” #8 depicting Rogue striking Cyclops, their relationship seems strained in this narrative. The reasons for their disagreement remain unknown, but it promises to be an intriguing development.
Mackay expressed that it’s been thrilling to contribute to the debut of the X-titles series. Now, we’re diving deeper – our first crossover, “Raid on Graymalkin,” promises an intense test for the X-Men teams from Alaska and Louisiana, shaping the trajectory for what’s to come. It’s been a privilege to collaborate with a renowned figure like Gail Simone in bringing this story to fruition!
In the realm of X-World writing, one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling chapters of my professional journey has been described by Gail Simone. She praised the exceptional characters, the outstanding art team, the top-notch editors, and the brilliant fellow creators. Among them, Jed Mackay stands out as a creative powerhouse. Our daily exchange of ideas since we began constructing the foundation for the X-Verse has been frequent. I believe this collaboration significantly enhances our work due to mutual admiration and respect for each other’s talents.
Simone expressed her hope that this could be the start of more brief collaborations. “We’re excited about creating something significant,” she said, “something that feels engaging, quick, and impactful with lasting consequences. You can certainly enjoy reading X-Men or Uncanny X-Men on their own, but by following both, you’ll gain a broader, more enriching perspective. We extend our warm invitation to both new and long-time readers!
The preview of X-Men #8 is below. The issue goes on sale Wednesday, December 4th.
