Legendary creators Louise Simonson and Walter Simonson will be returning to the X-Men franchise this April in X-MEN LEGENDS #3. The pair will be teaming up for an all-new, in-continuity story set during their groundbreaking run on X-Factor— notable for introducing one of the X-Men’s greatest villains, Apocalypse, and boldly transforming Angel into the metal-winged Archangel.
Starring the original X-Men now defending the world as the mutant team X-Factor, X-MEN LEGENDS #3 will take place just before X-Factor #43. Having defeated Apocalypse, X-Factor now uses his mysterious sentient spaceship Ship as their base of operations. But when Ship begins to malfunction, they’ll realize Apocalypse’s true plans are just beginning to unfold. Don’t miss a rematch decades-in-the-making when the full breadth of this iconic villain’s original motives are finally revealed!
X-MEN LEGENDS will be a title like no other. Revisiting key runs throughout X-Men history, X-MEN LEGENDS will feature other greats such as Chris Claremont, Fabian Nicieza, Larry Hama, Peter David, and more returning to the X-Men mythos to tie up loose ends, resolve longstanding plot danglers, and uncover long hidden truths that will shake up the past, present, and future of Marvel’s mutant super heroes.
Launching in February with a story by Fabian Nicieza and Brett Booth that will finally resolve the famous “third Summers brother” mystery, X-MEN LEGENDS will reshape X-Men history as we know it! Don’t miss the original X-Factor’s grand return when X-MEN LEGENDS #3 hits stands in April!

That's probably the loose end they're tieing up in this issue. We all wondered why Beast stopped wearing an X-Factor costume when his fur returned.I definitely had my theories, but now we'll know for sure!

Yeah it looks strange
I'm not into X-Men enough to get this one but it's always cool to see the Simonsons working together. I met them at Heroescon a few years back and they're really good people.

Will be interested to see what Larry Hama comes up with, along with Peter David. I used to be a huge Claremont fan but feels like he lost his touch years ago... but who knows, maybe this will be a return to form for him.
Claremont has lost his touch but can stilldo good especially when he doesn't have to really worry about current community. So something like this would probably be right up his street

I like this idea. I hope the writers can pull them off.

No, the possible third summers brother hinted at here is Adam X-Terme. Vulcan wasn't created until roughly a Decade after
Really curious about this title.. will have to wait some more months though...
