The new creative team of Mike Carey and Chris Bachalo are taking over the X-Men and they are going supernova with the most volatile assemblage of X-Men yet. The shocking new X-Men team will be made up of Rogue, Iceman, Mystique, Cable, and Cannonball. Each of these characters has a past history with one another and much of it isn't good. Mothers, daughters, teachers, and students must adapt to becoming teammates. Plus, what is Sabretooth doing hanging around the X-Men? And what could possibly have the man who goes toe-to-toe with Wolverine on a regular basis scared stiff? In part one of SUPER NOVAS, an all-new threat rises up to challenge the X-Men and it's up to this new X-team to gel together quick, or else they'll end up nothing more than a memorial plaque in the hallowed halls of Xavier. And what do the mysterious group known as the Children have to do with it? Also, X-Men #188 features an 8-page bonus story featuring the first appearance of the Masked Marvel. It's the start of an all-new era in X-history in X-Men #188. Don't miss out on this X-traordinary beginning. t.
