I’m pretty excited for this ‘event’ series. Not only do they have Mike Carey writing the main title, but now they’ve announced Simon Spurrier on this tie-in series. It’s good to see Si getting more X-Men work, he writes these characters really well!

From the press release:

Next year’s most talked about X-Men event gets bigger this March with Age Of X Universe #1 (of 2), from writer Simon Spurrier (Silver Surfer: In Thy Name) and superstar artist Khoi Pham (Chaos War). In the Age Of X, the mutants of the world never banded together to form the X-Men. But what of the Earth’s other heroes? In a world without X-Men… a world without hope, what side do the Earth’s Mightiest stand on? See the story of Marvel’s greatest heroes through new eyes as the future of mankind is decided in Age Of X Universe #1!

Keep your eyes peeled this week for another Age of X Historical Log inside select Marvel Comics. Be sure to head out to your local comic shop to find the next clue you will need to unravel the mystery that is Age of X.
