Written by Grant Morrison. Art by Frank quitely and Tim Townsend.

THE SCOOP: The future is now as the X-Men are remade!

THE STORY: Humankind's time on Earth is nearly at its end. Within a half decade, they will be extinct, replaced by their genetically gifted cousins: mutants! With this discovery, the very fabric of society begins to fray. And as fear and paranoia grows by the day, it will soon tear! Charles Xavier has been forced to evolve his X-Men. But in the shadows, something beckons to him. A mutant more powerful - and more depraved - than he ever could have foreseen. And very soon, that mutant will threaten his people, his world and his every perception!

New creators, new characters, new costumes, a new logo, a new direction... this is the start of it all!

THE CREATORS: Grant Morrison remade the JLA. Frank Quitely made Authority a must-read. Just imagine what they'll do together to the X-Men!

THE FORMAT: 32 pages, with ads.

THE WOLFBRIDGE AFFAIR - Part 1 of 4. Aric was a Goth attacking the Roman Empire when he was first captured by the Spider Aliens. Hundreds of years later, he escaped after stealing the aliens' most powerful weapon, the sentient X-O Armor. With this armor he has learned to survive in today's complicated world, a world that he first experienced just three years ago. One key to Aric's ability to adapt has been his friendship and love with the intelligent and beautiful Randy Cartier, a former Canadian Secret Service Agent. When Randy's friend and colleague Paul lost his life saving Aric from Spider Aliens, it was too much for Randy. She fled from Aric to Canada where she and her former Secret Service comrades met to remember Paul's passing. While in Canada, an old enemy of Randy and Paul's unit begins to kill members one by one.
