The Age of X-Man is a Utopian Future… Or Is It?

Published Tue, 20 Nov 2018 14:50:47 -0600

After teasing it since New York Comic, and revealing the creative teams earlier this week, Marvel has finally revealed all the juicy details about just what's going on during the Age of X-Man that springs out of the 10-part Uncanny X-Men: X-Men Disassembled storyline. It seems that all the X-Men somehow end up in the future, but in a shocking twist, it's not a post-apocalyptic dystopian future, but a utopian one! And with no Avengers around to ruin it for them.

Of course, things aren't always what they seem, and even in the solicits below, you can see the cracks begin to form. But hey, Cyclops is busy back in the regular Marvel Universe, so you can't @#$%ing blame him this time, Marvel!

Check out the solicits for four of the six Age of X-Man books below (the other two launch in March).
