Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex #1

Really pleased to pick this up. Thanks Rod! And thanks also to Jason at Essential Sequential. Great addition to my Dawn of X collection and my Gallery of [X]!

This comes out in August and I'm really looking forward to seeing New Mutants collaborators Rod Reis and Jonathan Hickman reunited.

In an interview with The A.V. Club, Rod commented, "As Jonathan Hickman and I were talking about characters for this Giant-Size X-Men issue, I said I was looking for crazy and weird characters that would allow me to play with panel layouts and do crazy stuff. So we decided that Fantomex would be the perfect choice. I loved what we did with New Mutants. I had so much fun working with those characters and people can expect this book to be a lot of fun too."

Most of Rod's work is digital so when I happened to be on Twitter and saw that Rod had posted this cover, as well as his cover art for New Mutants #7, I didn't hang around!

Solicitation -

"HICKMAN AND REIS TAKE ON THE WORLD! The hit creative team of Jonathan Hickman & Rod Reis (NEW MUTANTS) turn their attention to the covert activities of the Weapon Plus program’s Weapon XIII! A bred killer who choses the life of a gentleman super-thief, Fantomex has always defied expectations… For example, who would expect him to break into the World, the artificial realm of his creation? And then again? And then…again?"
