Il roster completo del nuovo team di X-Men della Marvel è stato finalmente rivelato, il primo dell’era Hickman.
A vincere le elezioni tra i lettori per il posto vacante è stata quella che probabilmente era la scelta più ovvia: Polaris, che affiancherà Ciclope e Jean nel team che vede la presenza di Rogue, X-23 e Sunfire, oltre alla sorpresa Synch.
Team creativo per questa testata è composto da Gerry Duggan, dall’artista Pepe Larraz e da Marte Gracia.
L’autore ha dichiarato; It’s my privilege and honor to be reteamed with Pepe Larraz as we throw beautiful and deadly threats at the X-Men beginning in July,” “Mutants have saved themselves, and are now going to save the world. Krakoa will grow roots in the capitol of the world, New York City, and the inaugural year will star Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Rogue, Wolverine, Synch, Sunfire and Polaris. The threats to Earth will come fast and hit hard, and every page from Pepe and Marte will blow your hair back. See you in July.”
Il 7 giugno negli USA inizia una nuova era per il team mutante, questa la sinossi ufficiale del 1 numero:
The current era of X-Men has evolved mutant storytelling like never before. No longer protecting a world that hates and fears them, the X-Men said goodbye to their dream of coexistence and founded a thriving mutant homeland. But in the aftermath of X of Swords, original X-Men Cyclops and Marvel Girl realized that the world needed its premiere team of mutant super heroes. Things might be complicated between the nation of Krakoa and the rest of the Marvel Universe, but to the X-Men, things are simple—you do what’s right, you protect those who need protecting and you save the world we all share. This new team are the chosen champions of mutantkind, and they’re up for any battle to protect their people and their home planet.
