Everything old is new again: after living on a sentient island<\/a> (and Mars<\/a>) and splitting up into various teams<\/a> around the country, the X-Men are coming back together to teach the next generation of mutants and be messy as hell.<\/p>\n

Marvel recently announced X-Men United<\/a>, which comes from\u00a0Exceptional X-Men\u00a0writer Eve L. Ewing and artist Tiago Palma (New Avengers). Not to be confused with the 2004 movie, the new ongoing series \u201cforms the centerpoint of the mutant world,\u201d said Marvel editor Tom Brevoort. Emma Frost has founded the new school Greymatter Lane, which aims to \u201ctake mutantkind to the next step in their evolution.\u201d The school\u2019s teachers include Wolverine, Magneto, and Rogue (and some non-mutant guest stars), and the location itself is meant as a hub where \u201call the major players of the X world will come together to fight, hook up and hash out their differences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marvel considers United the flagship book of the X-books\u2019 \u201cShadows of Tomorrow\u201d initiative first announced during New York Comic-Con<\/a>, and Ewing called the book \u201csome of the most fun I\u2019ve had writing comics ever. Greymatter Lane is so cool because the psychic space allows for things to be weirder and more surreal, while still building on the classic Xavier\u2019s School energy we\u2019ve all loved for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

The X-Men are no stranger to schools, and the introduction of a new one sets the mutants up for their first MCU movie whenever that arrives. (Not to mention the X-veterans hitting the big screen again with these next two Avengers\u00a0movies.) Hopefully Greymatter doesn\u2019t get blown up as much as the Xavier Institute.<\/p>\n

X-Men United #1 releases March 11, 2026.<\/p>\n
