Derrière ce titre qui pourrait faire croire à un retour inopiné de Maggott ou Adam-X the X-Treme se cache en réalité un nouveau titre (hors continuité et prévu pour une publication de prime abord en version digitale) qui sera l’occasion de mettre en avant un nouveau jeune mutant du nom de Bailey Hoskins.
L’équipe créative est composé de Max Bemis (Evil Empire) et Michael Walsh (Secret avengers).
[quote]he whole thing is actually kind of a comment on continuity in general; in life, in comics, and specifically in the X-Men universe. I’m really bad at being overly meta with everything I do. [Laughs] And in this case with the idea I had it just fell into place too easily.
The way it is with me and Marvel is the ongoing books are so good that for me it has to really stand out when you do something outside of continuity or even outside of a main book for it to register in any way. So I thought that since I’m not really embedded into any of that stuff I can really play with all these ideas, like you said. So it is very much a comment on what is X-Men continuity? What do the X-Men and their history mean to their fans and to the Marvel Universe? And what do they mean as icons? Because they really are icons at this point in pop culture. They stand for something.[/quote]
Bailey Hoskins has just discovered he's a mutant. For someone who's never been special, never stood out, discovering he's "gifted" is truly a gift-entry into the halls of Xavier's School for Gifted Children and into the ranks of the world-famous X-Men! Unfortunately...Bailey might just be the worst X-Man ever. Max Bemis, frontman of the band Say Anything, kicks off his first Marvel miniseries by teaming with stellar artist Michael Walsh (SECRET AVENGERS, HANK JOHNSON) to bring us the story of a misfit among misfits.
