Red-Hot Writer Kieron Gillen Joins Matt Fraction On UNCANNY X-MEN
Marvel is proud to announce that newly-exclusive writer Kieron Gillen
(Thor, Generation Hope) will join Eisner-winning, superstar writer Matt
Fraction as co-writer on Uncanny X-Men! Beginning with Uncanny X-Men
#531, Fraction and Gillen pit the X-Men against what may be their
greatest threat yet-the loss of their powers at the hands of the Sublime
Corporation, as the malevolent force puts into action its master plan!
"For the last thirty years, Uncanny X-Men has been superhero comics'
truest reflection of the age. That's what I have to live up to and take
it into the future, trying to write the definitive twenty-teen take on
the X-Men," explained Gillen. "Any less is underselling what the book
deserves. Co-writing with Matt seems a worryingly natural development,
as we were friends, then were working together creating the five lights
for Generation Hope. The exclusive is the proverbial gravy. In the words
of Ms. Knowles:' They liked it. They put a ring on it.'"
Fraction added, "As a writer? This feels like Kieron and I have already
been working on the book for several months anyway, what with the 'Five
Lights' story and cueing up what he needed for Generation Hope, so this
is a perfectly natural extension of that. As a reader? There's literally
no one else in the world I want to read writing X-Men more than Kieron.
He's great. He's dangerously great. And he's dying... Dying TO ENTERTAIN
YOU."
A bold new era for the X-Men begins in December as Matt Fraction and
Kieron Gillen join forces in Uncanny X-Men #531!
