Preview Art from UNCANNY X-MEN #500
Marvel's original mutant team celebrates a landmark in grand style, and you can get an advance look at some of the visuals from Uncanny X-Men #500.
The historic Uncanny X-Men #500 is almost here, from the new writing team of Eisner-winner Ed Brubaker and Eisner-nominee Matt Fraction (Immortal Iron Fist), and Marvel Comics has provided previews of artwork by the new pencil & ink duo of Greg Land (Ultimate Fantastic Four) and Terry Dodson (Wonder Woman, below).
Uncanny X-Men is the only Marvel comic to date to reach #500 without renumbering over the years, and this milestone is being celebrated with several special items, including variant covers by Dodson, Land, Alex Ross (Marvels) and the late Michael Turner (Supergirl, right).
The X-Men have new headquarters in San Francisco and a new status quo in this double-sized anniversary issue that sets up the plotlines to be developed over the next year. This is the issue no X-Fan can miss. As "Manifest Destiny" begins, Marvel’s mutants head in a bold new direction!

Uncanny X-Men #500 makes its mark on July 23rd.
