Posted on August 17, 2020 by Graphic Policy Team

X of Swords, the massive X-Men crossover tying into each and every X-Men title, kicks off next month! By November, this sprawling story will reach a senses-shattering conclusion, and the covers for these exciting final chapters were unveiled today.

X of Swords will continue writer Jonathan Hickman’s grand vision for the X-Men that began last year in the hit series, House of X and Powers of X. Hickman and Excalibur writer Tini Howard join every current X-Men writer—Gerry Duggan, Benjamin Percy, Ed Brisson, Zeb Wells, Leah Williams, and Vita Ayala—to deliver the next great X-Men milestone. Featuring breathtaking art by Leinil Francis Yu, Carmen Carnero, Pepe Larraz, Stefano Caselli, Joshua Cassara, Mahmud Asrar, Phil Noto, and more, X of Swords will be an unforgettable saga that will go alongside classic crossovers like The Mutant Massacre, Age of Apocalypse, and Messiah Complex in X-Men history.

Amidst the dramatic battles and unbelievable twists, fans will get introduced to a host of new X-Men enemies when a mysterious group of swordbearers emerge from the land of Arakko. Get a closer look at these exciting new additions to the X-Men mythos in the newly revealed covers, including their enigmatic leader—a brand-new character who will send lasting shockwaves throughout the world of mutants.

The Return of the Red Queen in Marauders #12

Posted on August 13, 2020 by Graphic Policy Team

Just when all hope seemed lost, a beloved X-Man returned to life in yesterday’s poignant issue of Marauders. That’s right, Kate Pryde is back and ready to lead her seafaring team of X-Men once more as they rescue mutants on the high seas. Written by Gerry Duggan with art by Matteo Lolli, Marauders has been nonstop adventure and now you can see what’s to come in the newly revealed cover of Marauders #12. Drawn by superstar artist Russell Dauterman, the Red Queen is back in action with one thing on her mind: REVENGE.

Kate returns just in time to take part in the next great X-Men crossover, X of Swords. When asked about the issue, Duggan took the opportunity to tease what’s on the horizon for the Marauders: “Long live the Red Queen! First the Marauders draw their blades in X of Swords, then comes the Queens Regent era at Hellfire Bay.”
