X-Men Face Xenomorphs: Claremont and Gillen Team Up for Landmark Crossover
Marvel is unleashing a true clash of titans: Aliens Vs X-Men. This isn't just another crossover; it's a legacy moment, bringing together the architect of modern X-Men and the very legend who shaped their world.
The four-issue miniseries, stylized as AVX, puts Kieron Gillen at the main writing helm with art by Geraldo Borges. But the real headline? X-Men titan Chris Claremont is also contributing a special backup story.
The plot kicks off with the X-Men returning to Earth after a mission to find a Phoenix egg, only to bring back deadly cargo: Xenomorphs. Expect a violent battle between mutants and aliens, with a mysterious ally potentially tipping the scales. Claremont's backup dives deeper, featuring Kitty Pryde, the terrifying Brood, and, of course, the Xenomorphs.
“This isn't just another crossover; it's a legacy moment, bringing together the architect of modern X-Men and the legend who shaped their world.”
Catzye Take
Fans have been dreaming of a proper X-Men and Aliens crossover for decades, and getting it with Chris Claremont involved – a creator who’s shaped both properties – is a massive win. This could be the definitive take on mutant vs. xenomorph warfare. Definitely keep an eye on how Gillen’s modern X-Men sensibility meshes with Claremont’s classic horror leanings.
