Press Release

Marvel Comics has announced Peter David and Todd Nauck are the next X-Men Legends creative duo and it’s all about X-Factor in this one! The next story arc can be found in X-Men Legends #5 out July 21st.

X-Factor are old friends of mine, and I was delighted when Marvel gave me the opportunity to revisit them,” David said in a press release sent to AIPT. “I have to admit, I was a little concerned since so many years have passed. But the moment I started writing them it was like no time had gone by it all.”

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!

So what’s it about?

Mutants have taken hostages, and X-Factor is taking the blame! But before judgment is rendered for Polaris, Havok, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy, Quicksilver, and Multiple Man, Val Cooper and X-Factor will take the stand! But who’s telling the truth, and what really went down at the Latverian Embassy? It all makes sense…from a certain point of view.

Check out the main cover and variant cover by Nauck below.

The next story arc can be found in X-Men Legends #5 out July 21st. The next story arc can be found in X-Men Legends #5 out July 21st.

New York, NY— April 13, 2021 — X-MEN LEGENDS, the series featuring all-new tales set during classic X-Men eras, continues this July with writer Peter David and artist Todd Nauck! Peter David returns to X-Men with a story set during his fan-favorite run on X-FACTOR. A highlight of the X-Men’s nineties heyday, Peter David’s X-FACTOR defined characters such as Polaris, Multiple Man, and Strong Guy, and featured sharp commentary on the mutant metaphor and super hero lifestyle. Now, fans can revisit this beloved era with a revelatory, in-continuity adventure that takes place between X-FACTOR #75 and #76.
