Yesterday, Marvel Comics revealed the main cover of Uncanny X-Men #1 by David Marquez, and today, we’ve got a new look at a bunch of variant covers. The first issue is out August 7th written by Gail Simone.
“Uncanny X-Men is the book that made me fall in love with comics,” Marquez said. “It’s been a dream come true getting to work with Gail, Matt [Wilson], and the whole Marvel editorial crew under Tom to put together this story: a badass, heartfelt, action-packed, character driven X-Men mystery. I hope readers have at least half as much fun reading it as we have had making it.”

So what’s Uncanny X-Men about?
A core group of essential X-Men rise From the Ashes to face a world without a home – and without Professor X! All bonds among the mutant community seem to be slipping away, and Rogue reluctantly finds herself as the hero designated to bring them back together…but a fearless, malignant power is out there hunting mutants, and it has a terrible secret that may destroy what remains of the X-Men.
Covers are by Marquez, Leinil Francis Yu, Luciano Vecchio, and Adam Kubert.
Check out the covers below.
New York, NY— April 26, 2024 — When her uncontrollable mutant powers were tearing her apart, Rogue found a home and a family with the X-Men. Now with her closest friends by the side, she’ll step up to do the same for other mutants in Gail Simone and David Marquez’s UNCANNY X-MEN!
Launching in August, UNCANNY X-MEN will be the second of three flagship X-titles set in the upcoming From the Ashes era. Today, fans can check out all-new variant covers for the debut issue including group shots by series artist Marquez and celebrated X-Men artist Leinil Francis Yu, a Hidden Gem piece by superstar artist Adam Kubert, and the first in a series of character pinups spotlighting the new team by Luciano Vecchio.
After the brutal loss of Krakoa, mutants need the X-Men more than ever. With Professor X missing, Rogue reluctantly finds herself as the X-Man designated to keep the team together. Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee forge a new home in a New Orleans, and when four mysterious young mutants show up at their doorstep, that home becomes a haven. Protecting mutants from a world that hates and fears them, and using their powers to ensure there’s a future worth living in. They are the Uncanny X-Men!
