Après la mini-série Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha & Omega, le scénariste Brian Wood, plus connu par les lecteurs pour ses travaux indépendants chez Vertigo, s’installe durablement sur la franchise mutante avec pas moins de deux titres sensiblement différents: X-Men et Ultimate Comics: X-Men.
Contrairement au Marvel 616, les Mutants de l’univers Ultimate sont jugés hors la loi depuis Ultimatum. C’est dans ce contexte que Brian Wood récupère l’équipe des Ultimate X-Men, dernier rempart d’une race génétique créée par l’homme au début des années 40 contre les hommes.
C’est Carlo Barberi, déjà remplaçant de Paco Medina sur plusieurs numéros du run de Nick Spencer, qui prend en charge la série en tant que dessinateur régulier. Couverture de Kaare Andrews:
Bien vu le coup de la lacrymo aux pieds de Kitty, c’est toujours agréable les couvertures de ce genre où son pouvoir est montré de manière plus subtile que de la faire juste traverser un mur.
