Ed Brubaker and Billy Tan are poised to take the X-Men to dazzling new heights as they take over Uncanny X-Men with issue #475 and Marvel Comics was nice enough to give us a look at the art. In fact, the duo are not just taking over the X-Men they’re launching the team into outer space.

Beginning in Uncanny X-Men #475, a new team led by Professor X takes off to the other end of the universe to stop a revenge-hungry Vulcan.  It’s up to the team comprised of Nightcrawler, Marvel Girl, Warpath, Havok, Polaris, and a surprise member to save the Shi’ar empire from his wrath. 

Spinning out of the pages of X-Men: Deadly Genesis comes “The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire,” a year-long story of revenge and = redemption starting in Uncanny X-Men #475. 

Believe the hype: Ed Brubaker is at the top of his game and Billy Tan has taken his to an all-new level, knocking it out of the park.  Uncanny X-Men #475 is the start of a new direction for a new team of X-Men.  You know you can’t afford to miss X-history in the making.
