A lot of fans have been worried about the fate of the X-books after Secret Wars considering various business side things that have been going on, but it looks like there will definitely be some books coming out of that event. The first one to be announced is that of Extraordinary X-Men, which is coming from Eisner Award-nominated writer Jeff Lemire (All-New Hawkeye, Sweet Tooth) and artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man) for what’s being called the flagship X-Men title of the post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe. “The chance to write the flagship X-Men book is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” says Lemire in an upcoming interview with Marvel.com. “It’s both exhilarating and somewhat intimidating. The X-Men have a staggering legacy and an extremely devoted fan base, so this is not an assignment I am taking lightly. I’ve poured everything I have into making this book something special. I don’t want to write just another X-Men run. I want the work Humberto and I do to stand up with the truly great X-Men runs. ”
Plot concept: Eight months have passed. The X-Men are in dire straits. A cataclysmic event that has altered the destinies of both Mutant and Inhuman. Many of the X-Men have gone missing – including their wayward leader Scott Summers. It will take the remaining X-Men to forge mutantkind into something stronger. Something…extraordinary! Now – Storm, Colossus, Magik, Nightcrawler, Iceman, Jean Grey and Old Man Logan will lead mutantkind headfirst into tomorrow.
