Hoping to witness the rebirth of the mutant species, the X-Men race to the small African village of Karere, where a sudden spate of super-powered infants have been born. However, they quickly learn that these newborns are not their brand of mutant. And no sooner have the X-Men discovered the shocking truth of these infants' origin than they are ambushed by a local dictator who has plans of his own for these baby-shaped timebombs. Could this trip get any worse?

Looks like the book wont be cancelled after all. Its getting a new writer, Daniel Way

[javi1024]

well the original volume is still cancelled right? and this is just follow the new "Astonishing" comics line after Xenogenesis?

 

[Havok83]

well the link says its a 4 issue arc, as opposed to 4 issue mini, so Im thinking its an extension of the current ongoing. I really dont see why they need 4 ongoing titles bearing the X-men name. And of course this will still feature Scott, Emma and Wolverine

 

[squeekness]

They really need to set rosters for each book and just stick too it, or stop sharing the same three or four guys.

 

[javi1024]

they dont want to "restrict" the writers by having to divide the members of the team.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Is that suppose to be Armor with them?

 

[javi1024]

yup. there she looks more like Karma with the headband.

 

[squeekness]

they dont want to "restrict" the writers by having to divide the members of the team.

Then there should at least be a cap on where folks get used, becuase it's getting out of hand.

 

[kinetic]

Yea seriously getting bored of them 3 being in the same book

 

[El Bastardo]

Daniel Way + Monster Island actually does = me dropping this book. Wow.

What're they going to fight, ****ing Mothma?

 

[Manic]

I'd totally read a comic about the X-Men fighting mothma.

Well, the X-Club

and Dr. Yuriko "Why does this old dude have a girl's name?" Takiguchi would have to be alive


Someone else should probably write it, too.

but I like Wolverine..lol

I do agree with making rosters, but I think Scott, Emma and Wolverine still should appear in any of the books as needed. The writers should focus more on the roster they choose.

 

[Generation Lee]

Sc ott can appear in one panel as he is leader of the mutant race, it's done well in New Mutants other writers should take the lead from there.

A mysterious exodus is underway; monsters spilling onto nearby shores – with catastrophic results – and it falls upon a small group of X-Men to both save the population from destruction and to solve an imposing riddle: What are monsters afraid of? New series writer Daniel Way (Deadpool) is joined by superstar artist Jason Pearson to bring you a widescreen, mega blockbuster story filled with classic Kirby monsters, heart-stopping revelations and over-the-top action!

[Red Mask]

Im half nigerian. even though i havent been there, i study the tribes in general though out the continent. that aint keyan or even african. she looks like a drag queen crossed with a native american shaman!! i mean marvel knew better and should handled it. that whole line up was a mess and needs to be recalled or redid

I doubt we can depend on Marvel to accurately depict Africa and its cultures anymore.

 

[UraniaChang]

Why pick Chinese words that can't make any sense in the language?

 

[squeekness]

Why bother picking up a book that is destined not to come out on time? They haven't even finished Exogenesis and yet they solicit this? It's going to be really late.

Marvel Comics has provided CBR News with an exclusive first look at comic book legend Michael Kaluta's variant cover for "Astonishing X-Men" #36 featuring Wolverine squaring off against none other than Fin Fang Foom.

[UraniaChang]
