This March, we will all see what the new Ultimate Universe holds for mutantkind in Peach Momoko's ULTIMATE X-MEN #1.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- This March, see the X-Men like you've never seen them before in ULTIMATE X-MEN #1! The third series of Marvel's thrilling new Ultimate line, ULTIMATE X-MEN #1 will be written and drawn by visionary creator Peach Momoko. Momoko will kick things off with fan-favorite X-Man Hisako Ichiki, AKA Armor, along with Maystorm, the Storm-inspired character she created for last year's popular New Champions Variant Cover program.
Armor is a teenage girl who just wants to live a normal life - go to school, hang out with her friends, ignore the political strife broiling over after the events of ULTIMATE INVASION - but life has other plans for her. In Japan, urban legends have sprung to life and brought some unusual new powers with them…
"At first, I was worried about being chosen for such an important project, but the more I draw and write the series, the more confident I am with my own vision of ULTIMATE X-MEN," Momoko told AiPT Comics in last week's X-Men Monday column. "ULTIMATE X-MEN isn't directly influenced by classic X-Men stories. I like to believe C.B. [Cebulski] and Jonathan Hickman chose me because they wanted something completely new and different."
Check out Mark Brooks' show-stopping variant cover today and stay tuned for the premiere of the ULTIMATE X-MEN #1 trailer later this week! For more information, visit Marvel.com.
