Wiccan & Hulkling gather their known & beloved friends and family to celebrate their wedding anniversary – but everything goes awry when Ultron arrives to reclaim Vision and Viv! Here’s what readers can look forward to:

  • The issue’s framing story by writer Wyatt Kennedy (Wiccan: Witches’ Road) and artist Stephen Byrne (What If…? Galactus)  picks up where Wiccan: Witches’ Road leaves off as Wiccan and Hulkling host an epic anniversary party at their new home, but a certain megalomaniacal robot is eager to have a family reunion of their own and an Ultron army attacks the festivities!
  • Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara joins Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men) to deliver an introspective Wiccan and Speed team-up where the twins face off against Ultron while clashing about their own unique perspectives and separate journeys.

The X-Men return to the Australian Outback

Posted on by Leave a comment

In the late ’80s, legendary Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont and superstar artist Marc Silvestri took Marvel’s Merry Mutants down under for a transformative period of the franchise known as the Outback Era. Featuring a dynamic lineup of X-Men who put the outlaw in “outlaw heroes” and bold storytelling hot enough to fan the flames of an Inferno, the Outback Era is beloved by fans, but this short-but-sweet period in X-Men history always felt full of untapped potential—until now! This June, two modern mutant masters, writer Steve Orlando and artist Stephen Segovia reveal an all-new saga set during this iconic era in X-Men: Outback, a five-issue retro limited series with covers by acclaimed X-Men artist Russell Dauterman.

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK!

Journey back to a time when the public believed Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Colossus, Dazzler, Havok, Psylocke and Longshot were dead. But from the shadows, these X-Men protected humanity from their Australian headquarters! But why did the team choose the Outback as their home base? How did tensions between them almost tear the team apart? And which of their old enemies threatened to expose their secret?

The latest “retro” series that deliver all-new stories set during definitive Marvel Comics eras, X-Men: Outback follows recent X-hits like Psylocke: Ninja and Emma Frost: The White Queen. Check out Dauterman’s first cover and pick up X-Men: Outback at your local comic shop this June!
