'Ultimate X-Men' return in new ongoing series

Marvel Comics has released a preview of its new ongoing series Ultimate Comics: X-Men, which will launch as part of the company's 'Ultimate Comics Reborn' initiative this September.

From the creative team of Secret Avengers writer Nick Spencer and X-Men artist Paco Medina, Ultimate Comics: X-Men will see some of the world's few remaining mutants band together for survival.

"Iceman, Kitty Pryde and the Human Torch discover the true history of the x-gene as the divide between mankind and mutantkind grows deeper than ever before!" a Marvel spokesperson said. "Who are the X-Men and how will they handle the fallout of this universe-shattering discovery?"

The 'Ultimate Comics Reborn' initiative began earlier this month with the conclusion of Brian Michael Bendis's 'Death of Spider-Man' story arc in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man.

The September relaunch includes a new ongoing series called Ultimate Comics: Ultimates from Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, a relaunch of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli and a four-issue miniseries from Jonathan Hickman and Rafa Sandoval called Ultimate Comics: Hawkeye.

Ultimate Comics: X-Men #1 is due out on September 14.
