Marvel's big X-Men relaunch rolls on with the resurrection of the team's classic title Uncanny X-Men, which has been dormant for several years. This time, Uncanny X-Men #1 is launching as the second of the X-Men line's three core titles, following the adjectiveless X-Men , and preceding September's Exceptional X-Men #1. Written by Gail Simone with artist David Marquez, colorist Matthew Wilson, and letterer Clayton Cowles rounding out the creative team, the new Uncanny X-Men focuses around Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine as a trio of mutants trying to find their way in the post-Krakoa world.
We've got everything you need to know about the new Uncanny X-Men #1 and its burgeoning team of mutants right here. Spoilers ahead for Uncanny X-Men #1 The new Uncanny X-Men #1 opens with Dr. Corina Ellis, a new character introduced back in X-Men #700, storming into the former X-Mansion/Xavier's School with a cadre of soldiers, laying out her plan to destroy everything left there - including Cerebro - and turn the building into a prison for mutants.
The jail's first prisoner then arrives, with none other than Charles Xavier apparently sentenced to live out his days in captivity in his own former estate. From there we catch up with Logan, who is visiting an old friend in Mexico City on his deathbed, who passes Logan a bottle of whiskey that is seemingly handed from friend to friend as each person in the chain dies. Logan discusses his time being "dead" as a hole in his memory.
