Jed Mackay and Gail Simone Tease Raid on Graymalkin’s Action
X-Men and Uncanny X-Men writers Jed MacKay and Gail Simone spoke about the action that takes place during the Raid on Graymalkin in Marvel’s announcement of the crossover event. “Raid on Graymalkin is going to push the X-Men of both Alaska and Louisiana to their breaking points and set the tone for the future, and it’s been great to work with a legend like Gail in bringing it to life,” MacKay said.
Marvel’s New Children of the Atom are the Multiverse’s Deadliest Cult
The Ultimate Universe’s Children of the Atom are different than any of their predecessors in the primary Marvel Universe — and it’s a problem.
“I hope that this is a precursor to more short crossovers,” Simone added. “We love the idea of doing something impactful, where it feels punchy and fast-paced, with some genuine, lasting effects. You can still just read X-Men or Uncanny X-Men and follow the story, but you’ll get a bigger, richer picture if you get both. As always, we have the welcome mat out for newbies and long-time readers alike!”
X-Men #8-9 and Uncanny X-Men #7-8 are available for pre-order at local comic book shops now.
