I love the extraterrestrials the universe and mythology, and obviously how atmospheric and well-designed everything is has always gotten my creative juices flowing. It was tricky to find a way to make those two things work together, but I think Esad and I came up with something that works for fans of both franchises.
Jonathan Hickman is as great a writer as Marvel gets. His is still running The fantastic four i avengers they are among the best series they have ever had. Meanwhile, his X Men The 2019 reinvention became a fan favorite, fueling five years of storylines. His work with Ribić activated secret wars also changed the game. So this creative team makes this series so much more than just another throwaway IP mash-up. The series will take place in the near future, featuring “older, crustier versions of Marvel's heroes.”
