X-Men Battle Of The Atom Has UNCANNY Artwork!

Who is ready for X-Men Battle Of The Atom! The next big X-Men event is almost here and there has been almost no hype. That is a damn good thing, just because this story is not being built as the be all end all does not mean it won’t be absolutely fantastic. Also I would much prefer to avoid spoilers that a bigger marketing campaign could possibly bring. This story is going to be excellent as these books have been building towards a natural brawl. The Uncanny and All- New X-Men teams literally hate each others guts, and throwing more crap in the middle of that then cutting loose sounds fucking amazing. Lets all be honest and say that Cyclops is indeed a right, however his means of getting there by killing Xavier was literally the worst way to prove his point. The natural progression of this universe over the last few years has really been one of the most exciting parts of the Marvel books. Comic change very little from decade to decade, the exception being this one as the ideas have gotten crazier and actually freaking stuck.

The books tying into the story are as follows,

X-Men Battle of the Atom #1
All-New X-Men #16
X-Men #5
Uncanny X-Men #12
Wolverine & The X-Men #36
All-New X-Men #17
X-Men # 6
Uncanny X-Men #13
Wolverine & The X-Men #37
X-Men: Battle of The Atom #2

That is a lot of titles, but you should be reading all of them. All of the series above range from great to fantastic, the best depending on personal taste. The books above in the family make me realize as a reader how versatile all of them are. Wolverine’s title is more focused on a lighter tone, All-New X-Men which serves as the sort of flagship title is somewhere in between serious and funny. If you like comics there is a branch in part of the family for you. Just released today from IGN was more preview art for X-Men Battle Of The Atom #1 by Frank Cho,

That is a shit ton of awesomeness, just a few more details about the event for those interested. The first thing being that this story is going to ship weekly throughout the ten books. Last but not least the first installment of the crossover is heading into stores on September 4th since it is shipping so fast it will be over in October so brace yourselves.
