Avengers: Armageddon may spell the end of the Avengers as we know them, but from the ashes rises a mighty new era for Marvel's Merry Mutants in Maximum X-Men! Launching this December, the all-new ongoing series by writer Christopher Yost and artist Tony S. Daniel brings together a powerhouse lineup including stalwart X-Men and iconic mutant heroes. With the Avengers disbanded, they'll step up to become Earth's new Mightiest Heroes!

"To protect a world that hates and fears them. The X-Men will always do the right thing, they're fighting ignorance as much as supervillains. But in this moment in time for the team, humanity seems to be coming around a little bit. In a world without Avengers… who will save us?"
