Cyclops and Jean are there, of course; the recently-reunited couple will be co-leading the new team.
Polaris is on board now too, thanks to her fans.
Their presence suggests that storyline might continue into the new book.
It certainly doesn’t bother us at EW;we named Laura our Superhero of the Year in 2018.
That creative team will then carry forward intoX-Men#1, which hits stores July 7.
