Cyclops-intoxicated

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at the explosive first chapter of Escape From The Negative Zone from writer James Asmus and artist Nick Bradshaw. Taking place within the pages of Uncanny X-Men Annual #3, Steve Rogers: Super Soldier Annual #1 and Namor The First Mutant Annual #1 fans should strap in for the intergalactic blockbuster event of a lifetime! The X-Men find themselves trapped in the Negative Zone and with the remaining members of the Fantastic Four still reeling from their loss, they have no way home. But when King Blastaar finds out about his most unwelcome guests, only one man can save them and it’s none other than Steve Rogers himself!

“Escape From The Negative Zone will further define the Cyclops/Hope relationship that fans have been clamoring for as well as the relationship between the X-Men, Steve Rogers and the Avengers” explains Marvel Senior Editor, Nick Lowe. “Not to mention, this will be the first time that Steve Rogers and Hope meet, but certainly not the last! And for fans wondering what Namor is REALLY capable of, they’ll have their answer.”

Home to some of the most super-powered villains of the Marvel Universe, King Blastaar should be the least of the X-Men’s worries as their greatest threat is yet to come! Get started on all the action this March in Uncanny X-Men Annual #3!

“MONSTROUS,” PART 1

Not all monsters are easy to spot -- some of them live among us, undetected or long forgotten. Some of them live inside us, in the dark corners of our hearts, feeding on our secret fears of loss. But in the Marvel Universe, most of them live on Monster Island. Or, at least, they did. A mysterious exodus is underway; monsters spilling onto nearby shores – with catastrophic results – and it falls upon a small group of X-Men to both save the population from destruction and to solve an imposing riddle: What are monsters afraid of? New series writer Daniel Way (Deadpool) is joined by superstar artist Jason Pearson to bring you a widescreen, mega blockbuster story filled with classic Kirby monsters, heart-stopping revelations and over-the-top action!
