Marvel is pleased to announce that UNCANNY X-MEN #495, X-FORCE #1, WOLVERINE #62 and X-FACTOR #28 have sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level). Beginning the hotly anticipated "
X-Men: Divided We Stand" storyline following up on the sold-out "Messiah CompleX" event, these four issues launch bold new directions for all of mutantkind, including some shocking twists!
To satisfy the overwhelming demand, Marvel is now returning to press with UNCANNY X-MEN #495 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT (with a cover featuring the interior art of Mike Choi), X-FORCE #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT (with a cover featuring the interior art of Clayton Crain), WOLVERINE #62 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT (with a cover featuring the interior art of Ron Garney) and X-FACTOR #28 SECOND PRINTING VARIANT (with a cover featuring the interior art of Pablo Raimondi).
"I hope people are realizing that this is a new era for the X-Men," said editor Nick Lowe. "We started the ball rolling with 'Endangered Species,' kicked it into high gear with 'Messiah CompleX.' Now 'Divided We Stand' is showing the effects of both of those and leading to something even bigger. We're just getting started and it's a whole new X-Men."
Editor John Barber explained, "It's great to see everybody—retailers and fans alike—this excited about all the X-books. X-FORCE is a pretty bold move, and it's a great book. That doesn't always mean a series will sell so well, but it's gratifying when it does. Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost put together a powerful story, and Clayton Crain's art is something to behold. It shows you can take chances with these comics, and people will take a look."
"Next month: CABLE," said X-Men Group Editor Axel Alonso. "Get there early."
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on all "Divided We Stand" tie-ins, including the upcoming X-MEN: LEGACY #208 and CABLE #1, as the x-titles continue to garner immediate sell-outs and growing critical acclaim! Just what happens in a world where the X-Men are no more? And can mutantkind fend off x-tinction? Don't miss your chance to find out why fans and critics agree there's no better time to be an X-Men fan!
