Uncanny X-Men Fight an Asgard Dragon in New Marvel Preview

“As a seasoned gamer of life with over three decades under my belt, I’ve seen more reboots and relaunches than I care to remember. But the new Uncanny X-Men #1, set in the vibrant city of New Orleans, has caught my attention like a beacon in the night.

In the first issue of Uncanny X-Men, written by Gail Simone (known for Marvel’s The Variants) and illustrated by David Marquee (famous for his work on Avengers), Kate Pryde’s pet dragon-like alien remarks that it isn’t quite like Lockheed in a casual manner. This comic book series introduces the New Orleans-based X-Men team, consisting of Rogue, Gambit, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee, who face a new adversary, Dr. Corina Ellis. However, before confronting this villain, Rogue’s X-Men journey to Mexico City to rouse Sadurang the God-Snake, an Asgardian dragon co-created by Simone during her brief tenure on Tony Stark: Iron Man.

In summary, “A key team of X-Men, having emerged from the ruins, confront a world bereft of both home and Professor X. The connections within the mutant community appear to be fading, leaving Rogue in a position she resists – that of uniting them once more. However, an ominous, destructive force is on the prowl, targeting mutants, and it harbors a hidden truth that could shatter what’s left of the X-Men.”

“In the current era, mutants require the X-Men’s support now more than before. Following Professor X’s absence, Rogue reluctantly assumes the role of maintaining unity within the team. The synopsis proceeds, ‘Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee establish a new residence in New Orleans. When four enigmatic young mutants arrive at their doorstep, their home transforms into a sanctuary. As they safeguard mutants from a society that loathes and dreads them, and employ their abilities to create a livable future, they become the extraordinary X-Men!'”

Issue #1 (continuing the legacy at #701) of the extraordinary “X-Men” series is a warm invitation for all readers, whether they’re newcomers, returning fans, or longtime aficionados, as stated by Simone. He promises top-notch mutant tales that are rich in human emotion, without any intended pun. His focus will be on delivering high-octane action and vivid personalities.

Marvel has unveiled the initial sneak peeks from the upcoming first issue, scheduled for release on August 7th. These previews are accompanied by a collection of variant covers designed by renowned artists such as Jim Lee (known for his work on X-Men), Stephen Segovia (X-Force), Pablo Villalobos (Jackpot & Black Cat), John Tyler Christopher (Old Man Quill), Luciano Vecchio (Resurrection of Magneto), Leinil Francis Yu (Wolverine), and Andy Kubert (Ultimate X-Men).
