Marvel Releases X-Men Teaser: “MMXI – the Year of the X-Men: LEGACY”

Media, News, Official Images

Yesterday we had one for New Mutants which featured X-Man and Blink, while today we’re getting the future of X-Men Legacy.

“An all-new direction for X-Men Legacy begins this May as MMXI – the year of the X-Men – kicks into high gear!”

X-MEN LEGACY #248
Written by MIKE CAREY
Penciled by RAFA SANDOVAL
Rated T+ …$2.99
ON SALE THIS MAY!

So the team looks like Xavier, Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, Frenzy, and Legion. And while that is one of the most hideous Rogue’s that I’ve ever seen, the idea of Mike Carey writing this group? I want it. Now. Carey’s original issues of X-Men Legacy with Xavier, and to an extent Magneto, were awesome. His Rogue and Gambit stuff since has been pretty damn great too, so this book could definitely be must read.

So which X book is tomorrow? Uncanny or X-Men?
