According to Claremont, X-Treme X-Men serves as a soft "sequel" to 1984-85's Kitty Pryde & Wolverine miniseries, which he wrote and features art by Al Milgrom. Speaking with CBR in an exclusive interview, Claremont further expanded on what fans can expect out of X-Treme X-Men. "As always, there's more to it than meets the eye, and it touches on some stuff I was playing with back in the day. It also touches on some things Salva and I did when we were doing short stories over the last few years. In this case, the three non-mutant super beings that almost killed Logan and Kitty in a 10-page story set in Madripoor that Salva and I did a couple of years ago [in Wolverine: Black White & Blood #2]. So, the key aspect of this arc is that Kitty and Logan are going up against two sets of adversaries, both of whom have come as close as imaginable to defeating or killing them. So, it's not anywhere near the slam dunk, heroes win concept that a lot of people are used to thinking about and seeing happen in these stories."

X-Treme X-Men #1 features cover and variant cover art by Larroca, along with additional variants by Phil Noto, Chrissie Zullo and Carlos Gómez. The issue releases Nov. 30 from Marvel Comics.
