As previously teased, Exceptional X-Men writer Eve L. Ewing isn’t quite done with Marvel’s merry mutants yet. And in fact, she’ll be taking on a brand new title with a wild new concept: X-Men United.
In the new series featuring art by Tiago Palma, Ewing will introduce “Graymatter Lane,” a school founded by Emma Frost, and featuring faculty including Wolverine, Magneto, Beast, Rogue and Storm and more. And it’s also, per PR from Marvel, “the central hub for mutant interaction across the world and beyond! This venture represents a bold undertaking that requires all hands on deck, but not all of the X-Men are ready to embrace the idea of another mutant institute for higher learning!”
“X-MEN UNITED forms the center point of the mutant world,” said X-Men editor Tom Brevoort. “Steeped in the tradition of series like Astonishing X-Men and Wolverine & the X-Men, Graymatter Lane is a place where all of the major players in the X world will come together to fight, hook up and hash out their differences. There’ll be action, drama, faces old and new and dangers galore. Which young mutant is critically injured on the first day—and which X-Man is responsible? What secret is uncovered in Sinister’s lab? What distance-separated couple rekindles their connection? And how far will Cyclops go to bring the whole endeavor to the ground?”
Added Ewing, “Working on the X-team for the past couple of years has been some of the most fun I’ve had writing comics ever. The idea for Graymatter Lane was a collective one, from lots of writers in a room brainstorming, and it’s so cool because the psychic space allows for things to be weirder and more surreal, while still building on the classic Xavier’s School energy we’ve all loved for decades.”
“Unreal! That’s how I would sum up the feeling of working on this new chapter of X-Men,” Palma shared. “And what an honor to get the chance to design the new Graymatter Lane campus. Loved the freedom to really play around with different shapes and super trippy ideas for such an iconic space for the group.”
X-Men United #1 hits stores on March 11, 2026. Check out Stefano Caselli’s connecting covers below, as well as the synopsis and solicit info.
