The X-Men's new era is fully underway, and starting this December, we'll get to experience an epic crossover between two of its three flagship titles in "Raid on Graymalkin."

Left broken and scattered in the wake of Krakoa, the X-Men have since regrouped into distinct teams of their own. In Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-Men, Cyclops leads a squad of hardened mutant soldiers out of an abandoned Sentinel factory in Alaska.

Meanwhile, in Gail Simone and David Marquez’s Uncanny X-Men, Rogue attempts to build a new home with her chosen X-family along with a handful of new students down in Louisiana. Their different approaches to the X-Men’s mission erupts into a tense standoff when a plan of action is needed to take down Graymalkin Prison, formerly Xavier’s Institute. 

The X-Men’s school has been transformed into a brutal penitentiary for mutants by the callous Dr. Corina Ellis, and her prize inmate is none other than Professor X himself! But after his actions during Krakoa’s fall, is Professor X worth saving? And who or what is the secret weapon that Ellis is confident will protect Graymalkin against any attack?

Here are the covers and solicitation details for the X-Men's "Raid on Graymalkin" event:

With one of their own incarcerated, the X-Men move on Graymalkin Prison in order to free their teammate. But it's not just one team – in Alaska, Cyclops’ X-Men scramble a rescue mission, while in Louisiana, Rogue’s X-Men move to strike out on their own sortie. Doctrinal rivals each with their own objective, will these two fractious teams find themselves at cross-purposes? After all...an “X” is made by two lines crossing.

The raid continues as two conflicting teams of X-Men come to a crossroads at Graymalkin Prison. As if the Perimeter protocols and the prison’s mutant “Trustees” weren’t enough, team leaders Rogue and Cyclops find themselves at war over the uncertain legacy of Charles Xavier!

Rogue and Cyclops come to blows as emotions come to a head, pitting the two groups of X-Men against one another in a place where their only chance for survival is to stand together. Xavier’s dream lies shattered – and broken edges always draw blood.

The explosive saga ends here, with Rogue and Cyclops on opposite ends of the mutant struggle, perhaps forever! Are they honoring Xavier’s legacy or destroying it? Do they choose loyalty or the law? An all-out action issue that will affect both teams (and the entire mutant community) with devastating results! Featuring guest artist Javier Garrón!

"It's been an exciting time being part of the launch of the line of X-titles, but now we're really getting into it- our first crossover!" MacKay shared today. "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!"

Simone added, "Writing in the X-World has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of my career. Best characters, best art team, best editors and best fellow creators, particularly Jed Mackay, who is just an idea machine. I hope that this is a precursor to more short crossovers."

"We love the idea of doing something impactful, where it feels punchy and fast-paced, with some genuine, lasting effects," she continued. "You can still just read X-Men or Uncanny 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!"

Stay tuned for updates on this X-Men event as we have them.

You would think that with the growing pop culture popularity of the X-Men again, they’d avoid these dumb plot lines like the X-Men fighting each other and Professor X being bad AGAIN.

This is everything wrong with todays comics. Barely a few issues into a relaunch and its already all about crossover events. The comics have been dying a long time but the arrival of cinematic universes was the final straw, it seems.

@rebellion - few reasons for that half is on comic grading comapnies and fans mocking and make fun other collectors who do not choose cgc and cbcs grade there books but cgc and cbcs have series situations that effected customers books and there privacy what’s YouTube videos know what I’m talking about cgc scandals and cbcs becket problem

Uncanny is ok. The other two books suck. Exceptional was unreadable.

They are probably going to ruin Uncanny with all those new characters. They keep making the same mistakes all over again. Why is Juggernaught on the team when Colossus is absent? I never liked Kid Omega, I don't know why they keep putting him in boobs and Temper is another character no one cares about.


Dr. Corina is your typical (boring) girl boss and Xavier is probably bad again.

Only the X-Men would field 2 teams for the same mission and decide to fight it out mid-mission rather than work together and settle their shit once they're out of trouble.

Hopefully this is the start of the return to status-quo era.
