X-Manhunt

The first blockbuster crossover of the "From the Ashes" era of X-Men begins, as every X-Men team under the sun races against time to find Charles Xavier!

The world's most dangerous mutant is on the run! Charles Xavier surrendered himself to the authorities at the end of the Orchis War and was willingly imprisoned in Graymalkin Prison, but now something has spurred him into action -- into escaping his incarceration and embarking on a mad scramble across the nation! What has caused Professor X to take this drastic action? And will his assorted pupils move to protect him, recapture him...or kill him? The answer, of course, is all of the above! Alliances will be battle-tested, and the blades of betrayals will cut deep. And when the dust finally settles, Charles Xavier will have to make a tectonic-shifting choice -- with the fate of all mutantkind in the balance!

About the Author
Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel -- including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange. With his profile continuing to rise, MacKay took on two of Marvel's biggest titles, Avengers and X-Men, while helming his first big crossover event in Blood Hunt.

Gail Simone first drew attention with her 1999 "Women in Refrigerators" website chronicling comics' frequent mistreatment of female characters. Becoming a popular online comics columnist, Simone later wrote Simpsons stories for Bongo Comics before breaking into the mainstream with her 2002 Deadpool run and its Agent X sequel at Marvel. Moving to DC, Simone had a long, acclaimed run on Birds of Prey, featuring heroines such as Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Black Canary and Huntress. She later wrote some of those characters for TV shows such as Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Her other comics credits include DC's Rose and Thorn, Villains United, Teen Titans, The All-New Atom, Wonder Woman, Secret Six, The Fury of Firestorm and a 2011 Batgirl relaunch starring Simone favorite Barbara Gordon.

Spanish artist Javier Garrón studied architecture before his work on webcomics and blogs got the attention of DC comics. He went on to draw Batman Eternal, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, Batgirl: Future's End and more.

To's Marvel credits include Black Panther, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Blue and New Warriors, but Excalibur is his longest and most acclaimed run.
