THE DEVIL’S HORNS MEET THEIR MATCH!

The Rhino’s on a rampage again – with a different Spidey suit in his sights! Desperate to apprehend the black-clad BAMFer, Orchis is pulling out all the stops. If the Rhino can’t put Kurt Wagner down, surely Silver Sable and her team of elite mercenaries can? But Kurt isn’t just a lawbreaker in the traditional sense…he’s a criminal flirt too. Can Nightcrawler sweet-talk his way outta this one, or is it lights out for our favorite devil?


JEAN GREY #3 (OF 4)
Cover
THE ONE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

Nearly 35 years later, Louise Simonson returns to the events of Inferno! One of the greatest battles in Marvel Comics history, Jean Grey vs. Madelyne Pryor reshaped the world of the X-Men and set bombs that are still going off today.

Lost in a mad world and separated from her every ally, what desperate move will Jean make to restore the balance?


UNCANNY AVENGERS #3 (OF 5)

THE BOYS BREAK OUT THEIR TOYS!

The time for subterfuge has passed. As the Children of the Vault stand poised to inherit the Earth, Bishop and Cable break out from the shadows guns blazing!

ASTONISHING ICEMAN #3 (OF 5)
Cover
CHILLING WITH THE CAPTAIN!

ORCHIS’ attacks on ICEMAN are heating up! Will crossing paths with the ALL-NEW Y-MEN give BOBBY DRAKE the chance to put them down once and for all or open a new path to his own destruction? Guest-starring AARON FISCHER, the CAPTAIN AMERICA of the Railways (and showcasing his awesome new power set)!


REALM OF X #3 (OF 4)
Cover
NO GODS, ONLY MUTANTS!

The date of the prophecy looms ahead, and despite their best efforts, the Vanir and their mutant protectors are ill-equipped to meet their destiny. Meanwhile, their enemy grows ever stronger, sinking their claws deeper into the misguided Curse. Lost and at the end of her rope, Dani beseeches her former friends in Asgard for help – but will reinforcements arrive in time to turn the tide, or have they truly been abandoned to their fate?


X-MEN #27
Cover
SOMETHING CAUGHT YOUR EYE?

When Cyclops joined this iteration of the X-Men, his pitch was simple — “I am the X-Men.” If this is so, the enemies of X-Men seem to have this fight all sewn up.


X-MEN #28
Cover
HOT AND HEAVY!

Juggernaut has come a long way from his beginnings as a bully transformed into an unstoppable foe of the X-Men. In fact, he’d recently become one of mutantkind’s best human allies. So why is he trying to kill Firestar?

X-FORCE #45
Cover
ESCAPE PLAN!

X-FORCE is held captive. But what powerful force can keep WOLVERINE, COLOSSUS, OMEGA RED and QUENTIN QUIRE from their compatriots, and what will this mean for the future of MUTANTKIND? And, as the CHRONICLER focuses his powers on a new subject, how will his control shift the balance of power in the FALL OF X era?


IMMORTAL X-MEN #16

APOCALYPSE WHEN?

REUNITED — CAPTAIN AMERICA AND WOLVERINE!

You know those old friends, the ones that go way, way back who you can always rely on? That’s STEVE ROGERS to LOGAN, whose friendship goes back to WORLD WAR II!

LAST MUTANT STANDING continues!

DeMatteis (SPIDER-MAN: Kraven’s Last Hunt, CAPTAIN AMERICA) and Todd Nauck (X-MEN LEGENDS, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN)!

Woah, X-Men is double shipping in October? And what the heck is going on here?



"Juggernaut has come a long way from his beginnings as a bully transformed into an unstoppable foe of the X-Men. In fact, he’d recently become one of mutantkind’s best human allies. So why is he trying to kill Firestar?"

Iceman teaming up with Captain America of the Railways! Queers win!



Uh oh... Immortal X-Men #16:
"APOCALYPSE WHEN?

When everything has already gone wrong, you may think at least you have nothing to worry about. You'd be wrong."

[Mungho]

I see nothing in these solicits for Beast's fate after this month's Wolverine

[cranger]

Woah, X-Men is double shipping in October? And what the heck is going on here?

They included the November 1st books. (A sign they are moving to a Tuesday release day? edit: nope, as discussed below)

Also watch out for those $4.99 books. Many of them are oversized #1 issues or have the backup story, but a few just look like a straight up price jump such as Wolverine.

Ohhh very interesting about the November 1st books. Hmmm.

Why would that be a sign of moving to Tuesday? November 1st is a Wednesday.

[bishop66]

All the xbooks are going to 4.99 for a 32 page comic after the soft relaunch after fall of x

[RAWRlrus]

Curious about X-Men. Of the 4 solicits we've gotten 3 are only focused on one character (Kate, Emma, Scott) with the November being only two characters. Is this the new team, is it a temp team, are they doing what Hickman was doing and not having much of a focus on a team but rather do individual issues focused on different things.

No amount of new info we get about Emma and Tony will make me like it any more than we've gotten. Just need to find new ways to convince myself that it isn't really what they're trying to show us.

I see nothing in these solicits for Beast's fate after this month's Wolverine

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't want his face turn to start in the middle of an event, probably need to wait until Fall of X is done and we get a new status quo. Who knows though, maybe he'll show up as mutantkind's savior at the eleventh hour?

[Viteh]

Huh, so Apocalypse will be both in X-Men Red and Immortal X-Men in the same month. First in Immortal X-Men and the following week in X-Men Red. I wonder how both stories will be intertwined.

[NicoPony]

Unless that’s Beast on the cover of Dark XMen.

[cranger]

Why would that be a sign of moving to Tuesday? November 1st is a Wednesday.

Tuesday would be October 31st, putting those books in the October solicits instead of November (this is what happens with DC books right now). If PRH (Marvel's distributor) wants to move to Tuesday releases to match DC and Image (via Lunar) then this is what would be expected.

(edit: nothing to see here, looks like this is normal for Marvel in such situations)

[cranger]

Unless that’s Beast on the cover of Dark XMen.

That looks like Kurt (in the Bamf Dragon form from the Secret Wars Inferno story).

Well that is all it is then, I see they did the same thing when books were scheduled to release March 1st this year.
