Marvel Announces New Creative Team for Astonishing X-Men

Marvel Comics announced a brand new creative team will be taking over Astonishing X-Men with issue #13 in July. The new creative team will be writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Greg Land.

Rosenberg made the announcement on the This Week In Marvel podcast.

Rosenberg promises his run will feature “an all new team, an all new threat, an all new story, and it’s going to be cool.”

He would add, “We’re taking a slightly different approach to our X-Men on this team. The reasons they are together and what their mission is means that they are playing a role in the Marvel Universe that the X-Men haven’t played in a while.”

The new team will feature Beast, Dazzler, Colossus, Havok, and Warparth.

The Hunt for Wolverine is expected to tell the story of how Wolverine comes back to the Marvel Universe after being killed off. Along with Soule’s main title the Hunt for Wolverine. There will also be Adamantium Agenda, Claws of the Killer, Mystery in Madripoor, and Weapon Lost. Marvel promised this event will be “one of the most shocking, daring stories of Wolverine’s history.”
