This summer, Rogue will be replacing Professor Xavier as the leader of the X-Men in a new series that sees the team relocated to New Orleans. Marvel’s new era for the X-Men, dubbed “From the Ashes,” will see the world’s mutants divided among separate teams. Joining Rogue in Uncanny X-Men will be some of the most popular X-Men, including Wolverine and Gambit.
Marvel has now released more information about the new Uncanny X-Men series from writer Gail Simone and artist David Marquez, along with cover art from Marquez for the series’ first issue. In a world without Professor Xavier or the iconic X-Mansion to call home, Rogue and her team of X-Men will set up shop in New Orleans. There, they will resume the X-Men’s classic status as outlaw heroes.
As Rogue tries to bring the rest of the mutants back together, her team will discover a malignant new force that is hunting the world’s mutants. Whatever terrible secret this fearless new power possesses could destroy what’s left of the X-Men.
