Marvel’s X-Men relaunch is getting bigger with the addition of new Wolverine and X-Factor series. These new series join the initially announced flagship series, X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and Exceptional X-Men. These three series would be helmed by some of the best talent in the biz like Jed MacKay and Gail Simone. Soon after the first announcement, Marvel revealed that X-Force, Phoenix, and NYX would be the next titles for the relaunch. Now, these two new titles will help flesh out the X-Men: From the Ashes era when it officially launches this summer.
Wolverine And X-Factor
Marvel released a teaser for both Wolverine and X-Factor claiming both will debut this August. While an official announcement has not been made, the publisher promises something official happening later this week. However, while we don’t have a synopsis the teasers did reveal a quick logline for each. We also got a look at the logo for each, which gives off traditional X-Men vibes.
For X-Factor, Marvel shares the slogan “Officially sanctioned to protect a world that hates and fears loves and adores them”. It sounds like the X-Factor series will follow another group of mutants given permission to work in the public eye to stop anti-mutant hate. Meanwhile, the tagline for Wolverine states, “He’d kill for some alone time, but the fight always finds him. It’s in his bones”.
Ready For A Relaunch
The X-Men: From the Ashes relaunch is quickly approaching and everyday Marvel is getting readers pumped for what’s in store. With Wolverine and X-Factor we now know of eight new X-titles coming soon. These titles will usher in a post-Krakoan age for mutants. The hints we have so far is that this new age will focus on the X-Men format of the past: the classic villain vs. hero format. It will also explore what it means to be an X-Man.
