Colorist Marte Gracia uses palettes and textures that bring even more life and drama to Larraz’s linework, and letterer Clayton Cowles completes the creative team with crisp lettering that helps guide the eye through some of Larraz’s more complex layouts. Artist Pepe Larraz is a full-on superstar, and Planet-Size X-Men proves he can draw damn near anything after depicting the transformation of Mars from a dead red planet to one bustling with mutant life.
Writer Gerry Duggan is one of the main creative voices of the Krakoa era, and his work on Marauders has successfully balanced political intrigue with classic superhero thrills, making him a strong fit for a back-to-basics X-Men #1. The team behind Planet-Size X-Men #1 reunites for X-Men #1, bringing the same grandiose spectacle that made that book so impressive. There’s more reason than ever for humankind to reject mutants, given their recent displays of planet-altering power, so it’s time for some positive rebranding, courtesy of a new team of X-Men that serves the people outside Krakoa. But in the process, the X-Men have strayed from their initial purpose: protecting a world that fears and hates them. The myriad X-books have focused on mutants working together to defend their island nation of Krakoa, and expand its influence. For the past two years, Marvel Comics has been moving the X-Men franchise further and further away from superhero tradition by positioning mutants as an intergalactic political power.
