Si Spurrier & Lee Garbett Launch Uncanny Spider-Man For Fall Of X

Following Children Of The Vault and Alpha Flight announcements from Marvel Comics, comes Si Spurrier and Lee Garbett's Uncanny Spider-Man

Following Children Of The Vault and Alpha Flight announcements from Marvel Comics, Si Spurrier and DSTLRY co-founder Lee Garbett are announced as the new Fall Of X series Uncanny Spider-Man, as first seen in Timeless #1 last year... and it's Nightcrawler in the Spider-Man duds. No chimaera necessary. And out for September.

Since 2019's revolutionary HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X series, mutantkind has experienced unparalleled growth and prosperity on the island nation Krakoa—but can it really last forever? Following July's X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA #1, mutantkind will enter a thrilling new era of uncertainty, danger, and mystery known as FALL OF X! As some of your favorite X-Men are crushed under the weight of this new age, one among them will "BAMF" his way into bright Super Hero stardom! Introducing Kurt Wagner, the UNCANNY SPIDER-MAN! UNCANNY SPIDER-MAN will be a five-issue limited series written by mutant mastermind Si Spurrier, continuing his thought-provoking work in the Krakoan era after LEGION OF X and NIGHTCRAWLERS, and drawn by Lee Garbett, known for his breathtaking art on DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE. The heart of the X-Men, Kurt has always shined as one of the most heroic and daring mutants in the franchise. Now, as the darkness of FALL OF X overwhelms his fellow mutants, Nightcrawler will embrace a new role as a classic New York City-bamfing hero!

Escaping the turmoil of FALL OF X in a flash of smoke and brimstone, it's time for Nightcrawler to play the swashbuckling, devil-may-care hero he was always destined to be! A potential new lover, battling some of the most iconic members of Spidey's rogues gallery, and saving civilians, mutant and human alike—Kurt is having the time of his life! But it's not all fun and games… Nightcrawler will also be a lone soldier on the frontlines of mutantkind's upcoming war with Orchis. Throughout the saga, he'll also confront a long-simmering mystery surrounding his mother, Mystique, as Spurrier's bold transformation of the character approaches a startling climax!

As we mentioned before… The Week In Marvel podcast has that Si Spurrier would be writing a Mystique storyline that goes back to her earliest days, her origin, identifying something that hadn't been picked up before., and with major implications going forward, for Mystique, for Destiny and for the X-Men, at the end of Fall of X.

"What we've got here is a spectacular new beginning – which, yes, is code for 'perfect jumping-on point' – which leans hard into heroic, joyful, street-level action," Spurrier explained. "Writing Kurt has always been an exercise in heart. He was the first to feel the cracks in Krakoa… and the first to try and do something about it. Unfailingly loyal to his people, his friends and his responsibilities, he's gone through a lot. What's been missing for him is the joy. The freedom. The thrill. And that's where we find him now. In a restyled Spidey Suit, BAMFing across New York and rubbing shoulders (and butting heads) with the best heroes and villains of the Manhattan milieu…but of course it's not quite that simple. Is Nightcrawler really doing this for the thrill? Or is he hiding? Is it easier to put on a mask and punch some villains in the nose than it is to stare trauma in the eye…? "For me this series is a dream come true. A chance to write what my various briefs have never before allowed: pure, joyful, bold, fun superheroic action. And thanks to Lee, it looks astonishing."
