Fresh Variant Covers Unveiled for 'Uncanny X-Men' #1!

New variant covers for "Uncanny X-Men" #1 offer fresh looks at Wolverine, Gambit, and more! Marvel Comics has unveiled a slew of variant covers for Gail Simone and David Marquez’s upcoming "Uncanny X-Men" #1, hitting shelves this August. Following yesterday's reveal of the main cover by David Marquez, today brings a glimpse at a variety of variant covers, adding to the anticipation for this highly anticipated release.

Marquez expressed his excitement, stating, “'Uncanny X-Men' is the book that made me fall in love with comics. 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" all about? In this series, a core group of essential X-Men rise From the Ashes to face a world without a home and without Professor X. Bonds among the mutant community seem to be slipping away, leaving Rogue reluctantly designated as the hero tasked with bringing them back together. But a fearless, malignant power is out there hunting mutants, harboring a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the X-Men.

With its launch scheduled for August, "Uncanny X-Men" will be the second of three flagship X-titles set in the upcoming From the Ashes era. Fans can now feast their eyes on 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 devastating loss of Krakoa, mutants need the X-Men more than ever. With Professor X missing, Rogue reluctantly finds herself tasked with keeping the team together. Alongside Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee, they forge a new home in New Orleans, becoming a haven for mutants seeking refuge from a hostile world. Together, they protect mutants from persecution and ensure a future worth fighting for. They are the Uncanny X-Men!

Preorder "Uncanny X-Men" #1 at your local comic shop and get ready to dive into action with Rogue's squad when it hits shelves on August 7th! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

I said there'd be some Birds of Prey art. I've also been reading more about Chuck Dixon and like what he's about, and I've gotta ask; how could such a homophobic dude accidentally write the gayest series to sail the seven seas? Anyway, had a lot of fun with this one, I may have accidentally discovered a passion for interior decor, and I can't wait to get to @gailsimone 's run

Patrick Zircher drew That Nightwing Scene, here's his response on a comic dudebro accusing Gail Simone of emasculating Nightwing with that story

I love how Misty, that legendary short-lived horror girl comic, is getting a new life with those annuals, and this year's looks pretty cool. I want to read The Pub at the End of the Road right now, damnit.

Gail Simone Returns to Superman, Joined by Superstar Artist Eddy Barrows, for a New Three-Part Action Comics Arc Taking Place at the Beginning of the Man of Steel’s Super Hero Career!

One thing I’ve realized about the Batman Villains tierlist through reading Gail Simone’s Birds of Prey run is that Lady Shiva actually deserves a tier of her own that is higher than S tier, because she is absolutely not a Batman villain. She is the GREATEST FIGHTER IN THE DC UNIVERSE! THAT IS NOT A BATMAN VILLAIN, THAT IS AN INDOMITABLE FIXTURE OF THE UNIVERSE!

I’m honestly hesitant to put her in ANY rogues gallery for the same reason. And her character isn’t intrinsically tied to Batman like a lot of his other villains are. Like she’s Cassandra Cain’s mom but that is the extent of her ties to the batman side of dc.

The future of the X-Men is getting clearer. What’s got you interested?

James Gunn asked the internet who Dave Bautista should play in the DCU and my answer will never change but specifically I need him to be Bane in @gailsimone’s Secret Six for this joke

Nobody does it better 🦅 I've been diving back into Birds of Prey comics and having a blast with it. @gailsimone brings so much love, life and energy to these characters and, after how much fun I had with interior decor in my last BOP piece, I wanted to push that aspect some more for this one ☺️
