Marvel Reprints Facsimile Editions of Pivotal X-Men Issues in July, Ads and All

Published Thu, 18 Apr 2019 19:30:32 -0500

Marvel has recently announced plans to release facsimile editions of comics such as Howard the Duck #1 and Star Wars #50, amongst other classic comics, and now the X-Men are getting the facsimile edition treatment in July to coincide with Jonathan Hickman's X-Men reboot. Marvel will reprint not one but four classic comics: Giant-Size X-Men #1, New Mutants #98, X-Men #1, and X-Men #137. Each of the comics will be a complete reproduction of the way it was originally released, including with the original ads. Unfortunately, the only thing that's changed is the cover price, with the over-sized Giant-Size X-Men and X-Men #132 selling for $4.99 and the other two going for $3.99.

Check out the solicits below.
