Described as a primer for the X-Men as they enter ResurrXion, the issue will be written by many of the writers of the upcoming slate of X-books and illustrated primarily by Ken Lashley. “It’s a book that represents the X-Men line going forward, as everyone plants their seeds,” “X-Men: Prime” editor Daniel Ketchum said. “We’re just at the tail end of the war. They’re literally picking up the pieces.”

"X-Men Prime" #1 will kick off the ResurrXion era when it arrives in stores March 29.
