Split Scott Koblish X-Men #1 Connecting Cover Into Manageable Slivers

Marvel are doing a new X-Men #1 and Scott Koblish has created a connecting cover that runs across the launch titles.

When Jim Lee and Chris Claremont launched X-Men #1 in 1991, it was done so with a gatefold cover that became famous, homaged repeatedly and a high seller at auction. Well, now Marvel are doing a new X-Men #1 for From The Ashes and Scott Koblish has created a connecting cover that runs across the launch titles. But this is just the half of it.

Literally, the half of it. This is just for the four X-Men titles in June/July, X-Men #35/700, X-Men #1, Uncanny X-Men #1 and Exceptional X-Men #1.

 It's a great time to be an X-Men fan! In addition to their animated resurgence in Marvel Studios' X-Men '97, the X-Men's comic book line is closing out its' revolutionary Krakoan age of storytelling AND gearing up for the exciting all-new From the Ashes era this summer! To celebrate this iconic franchise's recent milestone, acclaimed artist Scott Koblish has crafted an insanely epic connecting cover that will grace some of the most highly-anticipated upcoming X-Men comic releases. The piece will be presented as a wraparound cover on four issues, starting with June's X-MEN #35, the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men. Then, it can be found on the debut issues of the three From the Ashes flagship titles—Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's X-MEN #1, Gail Simone and David Marquez's UNCANNY X-MEN #1, and Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero's EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN #1.

There's still another four covers worth to come. but if you need some help seeing all of it, Bleeding Cool has cut it up into more manageable slivers so you can take a better look at the long and arduous history of the X-Men without squinting.
