Uncanny x men 1

Uncanny X-Men #1 is published by Marvel Comics, written by Gail Simone, art by David Marquez, colors by Matthew Wilson, and letters by Clayton Cowles. This is part of the From The Ashes relaunch of the X books. Rogue and Gambit find Wolverine, trying to craft sense of their purpose tracking the fall of Krakoa.

This series instantly takes a different guide from X-Men #1.That book clearly has a drive, with Cyclops creating a community in a northern town. This series has a listless unease, with the characters trying to find their place in a new planet. They travel across North America, taking in locations and objectives with opposite scales.

In Mexico, Wolverine, Rogue, and Gambit gather to remove a dragon from an ancient cultural monument. Straight from there, they meet up with Nightcrawler in a hospital to visit an extremely sick teenager. This grounds the comic and plummets the tone from grand and adventurous to real and devastating. Both instances are matchless examples of what the X-Men stand for. They save the world, and they inspire.

The manual feels big, with Simone est

There are a lot of feelings wrapped up in any X-Men book. Everyone has their own favorite characters and their have favorite era. That&#;s been an albatross hanging off the first month of titles from the post-Krakoa, &#;From The Ashes&#; era that kicked off last month, with varying results. I&#;m happy to speak, though, that if you are a fan of X-Men, if you&#;re a fan of the franchise being able to vault from humor to move to heartbreaking emotion in a single issue&#; And if you&#;re a fan of superhero comic books that are just damn good: you are going to love Uncanny X-Men #1. This, my friends, is the X-Men comic you&#;ve been waiting for.

And frankly, I don&#;t even mean in the past month and change, but possibly for years. Complete disclosure: I love the Krakoa era, the enormous swings, the huge changes, and the shocking plot twists. It&#;s a rarity that comics are allowed to change as wildly as Marvel allowed the X-Men to go over the past few years. But it was, per the MO of the franchise, an evolution. It was different, and we loved it for that.

Uncanny X-Men #1, from Gail Simone

The Krakoan era for the X-Men is over and the question now remains for many&#; what comes next? Some have banded together to proactively struggle to save the world while others take a bit more militaristic approach to things. But there&#;s so much space left unwrap and options on the table. Uncanny X-Men #1 kicks off a novel pillar of what&#;s to come initially focusing on Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine.

Written by Gail Simone, Uncanny X-Men #1 gets at the core of what makes the X-Men different. I grew up reading X-Men comics, taking me through the Claremont era to the massive shake-up in the 90s with multiple &#;color&#; teams, and initially petering out around the &#;Age of Apocalypse&#; (diving in and out of the line ever since then). For me, the X-Men are the underdogs. They&#;re hated by community, fighting for their right to live and protect other mutants. But also, protecting a planet that hates them. They are the stand-ins for any marginalized group that wants to struggle the good fight.

Simone gets that as she explores what has recently happened and what is still needed. R
