Here we go – we’ve heard a lot about the big Avengers event Infinity, but here’s a peek at the mutant event, X-Men: Battle of the Atom. While the past X-Men are living in the present and dealing with their awful futures and a mutant civil war looks to come to pass in their future, it seems some X-Men from the future are coming back to the present to tell the X-Men of the past to go back to the past so they can have a future!
This will be a 10-part weekly event, running through a bunch of X-books like so:
• Part 1: X-Men Battle of the Atom #1
• Part 2: All-New X-Men #16
• Part 3: X-Men #5
• Part 4: Uncanny X-Men #12
• Part 5: Wolverine & The X-Men #36
• Part 6: All-New X-Men #17
• Part 7: X-Men # 6
• Part 8: Uncanny X-Men #13
• Part 9: Wolverine & The X-Men #37
• Part 10: X-Men: Battle of The Atom #2
That means the creative team includes Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Brian Wood, Frank Cho, Stuart Immonen, Chris Bachalo, David Lopez & Giuseppe Camuncoli. Marvel’s press release includes the tagline “no reader will come out unscathed.” Yikes!
