The X-Men assemble in place of the Avengers in Maximum X-Men #1 preview
Following the events of Avengers: Armageddon, the X-Men are stepping up to defend the Earth in a new ongoing series. Writer Christopher Yost and artist Tony S. Daniel are launching Maximum X-Men this December.
Storm leads a new team featuring Wolverine, Colossus, Bishop, Iceman, Psylocke, Firestar, and Justice to face an invasion from the Negative Zone. The series aims to capture a classic X-Men feel while focusing on high-stakes action and character-driven drama. Marvel Comics has provided an exclusive look at the interior art ahead of the book's December 2, 2026 release. This new title positions the mutants as the primary protectors of the world in the absence of the Avengers.
