It's a great time to be an X-Men fan. Today's Deadpool & Wolverine trailer proved that and, in addition to their animated resurgence in Marvel Studios' X-Men '97, the X-Men's comic book line is closing out its revolutionary Krakoan age of storytelling and gearing up for the exciting all-new "From the Ashes" era this summer.
To celebrate this iconic franchise's recent milestone, acclaimed artist Scott Koblish has crafted an insanely epic connecting cover that will grace some of the most highly-anticipated upcoming X-Men comic releases.
The piece will be presented as a wraparound cover on four issues, starting with June's X-Men #35, the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men. Then, it can be found on the debut issues of the three "From the Ashes" flagship titles: Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's X-Men #1, Gail Simone and David Marquez's Uncanny X-Men #1, and Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero's Exceptional X-Men #1.
Showcasing the entirety of the X-Men's 60-year publication history, including core X-Men series as well as spinoffs and limited series, this breathtaking group shot spotlights A-List X-Men, obscure mutants, super villains, allies, superhero guest stars, and much more.
Today, you can test your knowledge of the mutant mythos by finding your favourites and identifying as many characters as you can.

All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind...its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of Fall of the House of X, the madness and mystery of Rise of the Powers of X...they have all come to their end and led to this moment that will change the future of mutantkind for years to come.

Join Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Magik, Kid Omega, Temper, and Juggernaut as new forces in the world move into position, battling for the destiny and philosophy of the mutant species.
