Marauders #1 sets sail with an interesting spin on a new group of mutant superhero teams appearing in the Dawn of X story arc. In Marauders, we’re introduced to a team led by Captain Kate Pryde, featuring Storm, Pyro, Bishop and Iceman on a nautical adventure through the new Mutantscape. In an interesting twist, our heroes are funded by an unexpected benefactor… Emme Frost and the Hellfire Trading Company!

One of the most popular Mutant team spinoffs of the 1990’s, Rob Liefeld’s X-Force introduced a dynamic new spin to the Mutantverse. I remember when these characters made their first appearances in New Mutants, only to be spun off into its own title months later. In this post X world, where everything is being reimagined, the latest addition of the X-Force brings us a roster of Beast, Black Tom Cassidy, Domino, Jean Grey, Kid Omega, Sage, & everyone’s favorite cigar smoking mutant, Wolverine! In this iteration, team X-Force are going to act as the mutant world’s CIA. Given all of the fallout from the X story arcs, it looks like the X-Force has a lot of work cut out for them!

In the 1980’s, there was one name that came to mind when you thought of the X-Men and Marvel’s Mutantverse, and that was Chris Claremont. Having written some of the most famous stories to ever grace the pages of the original mutant superhero squad, Claremont branched out and formed a new team… The New Mutants, which went on to evolve into X-Force. In this latest iteration of the superhero team, in a post X world, the New Mutants consist of Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Mirage, Karma, Magik, Cypher, Chamber, & Mondo. With their trademark youthful exuberance, and a bit of dark edge, and a mission that takes them into outer space (alongside the Starjammers), New Mutants is sure to bring a cool spin to the landscape with some great stories by Ed Brisson & Jonathan Hickman, and beautiful cover/internal art by Rod Reis.
