Ahead of the first issue's upcoming release, we asked the writing team for their final words on what makes this book so special. Here's what they had to say:

"To me, UNCANNY X-MEN has always been the book that defined what Super Hero comics can be. It's the book I learned to read with. It's the book that helped me understand who I wanted to be. And it's the book I have always come back to as a fan. These characters have served as icons, heroes, friends, and even family for me and generations of comic book fans. And now I get to bring all the X-Men together to save our world one last time and find out if anyone survives the experience."

- Matt Rosenberg

"I wish I could say writers don't love putting characters we love through rough stuff... but I think that would be a bold-faced lie. There's nothing I like more than making people laugh and fall in love and then really making them feel something and be moved—which sometimes means tragedy—and then making them laugh again. I think we've got a great emotional narrative at the heart of this event."

- Kelly Thompson

"This series is about the X-Men fighting their own legacy. Fighting against a world who fears them, yet a world that might be right. A world that has a reason to fear them. Has a reason to fear what they could become. This is the ultimate story of X-Men legacy come back to bite them in the ass."

- Ed Brisson
