The Story:
From the executive producer of tv's "Arrow"!
• New creative team! And a new mission for the first all-female team of X-MEN...
• S.W.O.R.D. is Earth's premiere counterterrorism and intelligence agency when it comes to dealing with extraterrestrial threats.
• But when the ferocious Shi'Ar warrior Deathbird lands on their doorstep at the brink of death, S.W.O.R.D. calls in the X-MEN to investigate!
• But are the X-Men equipped to handle the horrific new threat that's emerged from the edge of space?

... Marts takes X-Men to Comic-Con...

With Comic-Con International 2014 behind us, there's nobody better to discuss future plans for the X-Men than Marvel Comics Executive Editor Mike Marts. As editor-in-charge of all things X, Marts has the best view of what's to come for Marvel's merry mutants as 2014 starts its progression to the end of the year.

In this week's X-POSITION, Marts discusses the major Comic-Con announcements -- including a new "Cyclops" creative team and the "Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program" miniseries -- as well as when readers can expect some big X-Men announcements to drop, the "Generation X" 20th Anniversary Plans and more. Plus, he takes on a few reader questions about time-travel, possible "indie-style" books in the X-Men's line and changes coming down the line for the X-Men in 2015.

... Marc Guggenheim interview ...

ComicBook.com: When Marc Guggenheim takes over the "Adjectiveless" X-Men next month, he'll follow in the footsteps of original series writer Brian Wood, for whom the team seemed to have been perfect.

As part of the change, Guggenheim -- who is also a writer and Executive Producer on The CW's Arrow and author of the recently-released thriller Overwatch -- will take the team to space, dramatically pulling the X-Men (and their readers) out of the comfort zone of Upstate New York.
