What’s Happened To The X-Men?

In the wake of Messiah CompleX, there are no more X-Men… but what does this mean for those mutants who once united under Xavier’s dream? X-Men Divided We Stand Book 1 (of 2) sets up the new status quo for mutantkind, with an all star creator lineup including Mike Carey (X-Men: Legacy), Matt Fraction (upcoming Uncanny X-Men, Immortal Iron Fist), Craig Kyle (X-Force), Christopher Yost (X-Force), Skottie Young (New X-Men), Brandon Peterson (Ultimate Vision), Jamie McKelvie (Phonogram) and Sana Takeda (Drain)! Wrapped in a gorgeous cover by Peterson, this can’t-miss X-special follows your favorite mutants as they adapt to this bold new world. What’s happened to Cannonball and Husk? What did Nightcrawler do after Messiah CompleX? How disbanding the X-Men affect Storm, Black Panther and Neznho? And what about your favorite New X-man, Anole? Plus, there’s also an additional, previously unsolicited story starring Hellion and guest-starring Magneto!

“Before I’m even asked, yes, the stories impact several of the big X-Books, like Uncanny X-Men and Young X-Men,” says X-Editor Nick Lowe. “But the best part is that these stories peel back the curtain on some of your favorite X-Characters. The writers and artists REALLY rose to the challenge of their 8-pagers.”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all X-Men titles, as the Divided We Stand tie-ins continue to sell out at Diamond and generate buzz. After the X-Men end, were does it leave the mutants who fought the good fight? Find out in X-Men Divided We Stand Book 1!

Wolverine Will Stop At Nothing To “Get Mystique!”

Bullet-ridden and consumed by a quest for vengeance, Logan has one objective — get Mystique and get revenge for her betrayal of the X-Men! Wolverine #64, an X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, continues the critically acclaimed “Get Mystique” arc from writer Jason Aaron (Ghost Rider) and artist Ron Garney (Amazing Spider-Man).

Critics and fans agree — this is the Wolverine story you must read, with Ryan Broussard of Comixtreme.Com saying, “This story has depth, action, history, and just overall impressive writing.”

“‘Get Mystique’ is turning Wolverine into the book I anticipate the most every month,” gushed Bryan Joel of IGN.Com.
