'X-Men by Chris Claremont: Prelude to a Future Past' #1 Unearths a Rare Story from X-Men History

This July, a new one-shot collects the groundbreaking “Days of Future Past” story arc alongside Chris Claremont’s special “Days of Future Past” prelude story, previously only available in a limited edition hardcover.

In 2020, legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont revisited his groundbreaking "Days of Future Past" storyline in a special prelude story that was only available in the Marvel Made Paragon Collection: Chris Claremont, a limited edition prestige hardcover. This July, this rare story will finally be published alongside the all-time classic that inspired it in X-MEN BY CHRIS CLAREMONT: PRELUDE TO A FUTURE PAST #1!

Revisit the nightmarish world of tomorrow that is "Days of Future Past" in a revelatory prelude by the legendary scribe and illustrated by his X-TREME X-MEN (2001) collaborator, Salvador Larroca! Discover at last how the surviving X-Men saved one of their own, Rachel Summers, from her torment as a Hound – and find out which surprising faces had a vital part to play in the mutant resistance!

Presented alongside the original saga in which Claremont and John Byrne unveiled their darkly dystopian vision of the future Marvel Universe – where Sentinels stalk the Earth, and the X-Men are humanity's only hope... until they die! The giant-sized one-shot will also include bonus materials celebrating Chris Claremont's fifty-plus years in comics!
