Ewing and Carmen Carnero's Exceptional X-Men, a the core ongoing series, relaunching as part of X-Men: From The Ashes.
Notably these are definitely different to the rumoured X-Men comics as reported last week... but not entirely different, are they? How very interesting. Here is a look at some promo art about to be officially released, but leaked to Bleeding Cool first…
Here's the panel detail, with Gail Simone, Jed MacKay, Marvel's EIC CB Cebulski, the X-Men Group Editor, SVO and Exec Editor Tom Brevoort, and… oh yes, Dan Crothers of Veve Digital Collectibles because somewhere NFTs are still a thing and they are paying for all this.
