The Wedding of Jean Grey and Scott Summers in Marvel's June Solicitations

Published Thu, 19 Mar 2020 15:10:54 -0500

Cyclops and Marvel Girl are getting married in Marvel's June solicitations, via a facsimile edition of 1994's X-Men #30. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to classic X-Men and X-Men-adjacent comics coming down the pipeline. Let's take a look…

X-MEN #30 FACSIMILE EDITION
Written by FABIAN NICIEZA

Cover by ANDY KUBERT
Relive the moment X-Men fans spent decades waiting for: the wedding of Jean Grey and Scott Summers! After years of tragedy and torment, death and rebirth, Cyclops and Marvel Girl finally say "I do"!!" And it's cause for not just celebration but also reflection as Professor X takes stock of how far his dream has come and how his original students have grown. The X-Men's X-tended friends and family descend on the mansion to join the festivities — but a longtime ally's absence is deeply missed. Will the wedding go as planned? Can the X-Men finally relax and be happy? And once the vows are exchanged and the first dance is over, who will catch the bouquet? It's one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all! Reprinting X-MEN (1991) #30.

Cover by INHYUK LEE • VIRGIN VARIANT COVER BY INHYUK LEE
A legendary hero flies the flag for the United Kingdom as we celebrate the legacy of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning MARVEL TALES! In Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe's incredible CAPTAIN BRITAIN (1976) #1-2, Brian Braddock must choose between the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right. Only one will transform him into Captain Britain, champion of Albion! Then, Brian takes a trip across the pond and ends up in Spider-Man's neighborhood — but their first meeting turns downright murderous, courtesy of Arcade, in MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #65-66 — by the fan-favorite team of Claremont and John Byrne! Then, the sword is drawn in EXCALIBUR (1988) #1 as Claremont joins artist Alan Davis to team Captain Britain and his girlfriend Meggan with a trio of ex-X-Men — Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Phoenix — to form the UK's most offbeat super team! Collecting CAPTAIN BRITAIN (1976) #1-2, MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #65-66 and EXCALIBUR (1988) #1.
