X-Men: Outback Returns To One Of The Hottest Eras Of Uncanny X-Men
In the late ’80s, legendary Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont and superstar artist Marc Silvestri took Marvel�s Merry Mutants down under for a transformative period of the franchise known as the Outback Era. Featuring a dynamic lineup of X-Men who put the outlaw in �outlaw heroes� and bold storytelling hot enough to fan the flames of an Inferno, the Outback Era is beloved by fans, but this short-but-sweet period in X-Men history always felt full of untapped potential�until now! This June, two modern mutant masters, writer Steve Orlando (X-Men Unlimited, Sorcerer Supreme) and artist Stephen Segovia (Hellions, New Avengers) reveal an all-new saga set during this iconic era in X-MEN: OUTBACK, a five-issue retro limited series with covers by acclaimed X-Men artist Russell Dauterman.

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK!

Journey back to a time when the public believed Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Colossus, Dazzler, Havok, Psylocke and Longshot were dead. But from the shadows, these X-Men protected humanity from their Australian headquarters! But why did the team choose the Outback as their home base? How did tensions between them almost tear the team apart? And which of their old enemies threatened to expose their secret?

�It’s a rare thing, something you logically don’t expect, to get the chance as a creator to work in the time period that made you love a comic, a team, or a character,� Orlando shared. �For me, picking up issues where I could at flea markets and spinner racks of the late ’80s and ’90s, the outback was the first place I met the X-Men on the page. And they all but leapt off it! The tension, the struggle to carve out a new life, the explosive personalities…and the NEW! It was such a bold era, enough to make me a fan for life. Now, to get to work in that time period with X-MEN: OUTBACK? That’s not even something the young me would’ve thought possible.�

�We’ve got an incredible team with Stephen Segovia and Russell Dauterman�and we’re cooking up stories that celebrate and elevate the era,� he continued. �And in its spirit, you’ll of course be seeing some familiar faces…but just the same�there’ll be all new threats, connections, and secret exes on the way!�

The latest �retro� series that deliver all-new stories set during definitive Marvel Comics eras, X-MEN: OUTBACK follows recent X-hits like Psylocke: Ninja and Emma Frost: The White Queen. Check out Dauterman�s first cover and pick up X-MEN: OUTBACK at your local comic shop this June!

I love this poster despite disliking Cyclops’ new costume, and I find it hilarious they changed Emma’s hand placement so she doesn’t have her fingers near Rogue’s butt. I would never have noticed it otherwise; seems like Marvel has its own Streisand effect moment. Hopefully, the story will be more memorable than this edit.

I would def agree- I don’t like this Cyclops costume but the poster looks cool.

Hard pass, I would like to see a story where her powers get amped up because she technically explodes matter at atomic level aka can technically do a atom bomb blast but we only see small scale fireworks , she would be so O.P. & will give her more fan base & respect

Both of those covers are terrrrrible.

I’ve been out of reading modern Marvel comics for a while, but it appears that artists are beginning to give Jubilee the D-cup treatment. They grow up so fast!

I’ll give it a shot but honestly everything post Krakoa for me, save for Storm has very lackluster. I really did enjoy them bringing all mutants together but just going back to a school just seems “meh”.

Im sorry, Graymatter really? This is one of the dumbest and unintentionally hilarious things from Marvel in a long time. A whole room of folks came up with this?

Yep. Goes like this:

“We need a fresh new idea that we can do with the X-Men!”

“Put em in a school environment?”

“Genesis!”
