Despite their differences, the two will need to team up to find out what happened to Mia-and how to pull off the heist of the century.

If you were looking for a place to start with the X-Men, there’s no place like the relaunch of the flagship series with a new #1. Both X-Men: Blue and Gold are ending to make way for Uncanny.

I’m also very interested to see if there will be any legacy numbering with this series, as the X-Men sat out of the wholesale re-numbering earlier this year. “THE CHILDREN OF THE ATOM ARE BACK. New ongoing series kicking off with a 10-part weekly epic, the flagship X-Men series that started it all is back and better […]
