Abnett & Lanning Take Over 'New Mutants' This May


Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning have been know most recently to Marvel readers as the guys who have done right by Marvel’s galactic characters (namely Nova and  Guardians of the Galaxy) as well as the recent relaunch of Heroes for Hire.

This May the esteemed writers join artist Leandro Fernandez by placing their fresh stamp on a classic X-Men property, The New Mutants. Abnett and Lanning were announced today as a part of a weeklong series of X-Books announcements to introduce the titles’ new creative teams.

Abnett and Lanning said that the focus of the book will be on the 20-something second generation mutants who will be guided by Cyclops to handle loose ends from other X-Men stories. The first arc has the team off to locate Nate Grey (X-Man) and Blink in a storyline called “Unfinished Business.”

New Mutants #25 by Abnett and Lanning, with art by Fernandez, hits stores this May.
