Marvel has announced this morning that they’re headed to the Grindhouse with X-Terminators, a limited X-Men comic series inspired by classic Grindhouse genre movies.
Marvel reveals, “Dazzler, Jubilee, Wolverine, and Boom-Boom star in an explosive new X-Men limited series by Leah Williams and Carlos Gómez this July!”
X-Terminators is being described as a “chaotic ride through a dark corner of Marvel’s underworld.” Marvel adds this morning, “Influenced by grindhouse films, fans can expect plenty of blood, sweat and sweet REVENGE in this refreshing new take on Marvel’s merry mutants!”
“In typical X-Men fashion, what starts as a wild night out gets even crazier when Jubilee, Boom-Boom, and Dazzler are kidnapped and put into elaborate death traps by a mysterious new army of enemies. What are three fierce mutants with the power to blow things up to do? Expect a hardcore, neon-fueled, down and dirty type of adventure unlike any seen before in X-Men history with all the light blasts, fireworks, time bombs, and brawling you can possibly hope for!”
“I’m excited about how gleefully transgressive this book is—it’s sexy, stupid, and chaotic,” Williams said. “One of my favorite moments in the making-of this book was Jordan [D. White] asking, ‘What do you think… Parental Advisory for this book? Or just T+?… I am leaning PA.’”
“I’m eager to be working on X-TERMINATORS with Leah!” Gómez added. “She’s an incredible writer and always delivers fun and engaging stories and this title is no exception! Did I mention it’s action-packed? Also, X-Men has been one of my favorite series, and it’s always cool to be back in the X-Family!”
X-Terminators #1 of 5 will be available on July 6, 2022. The limited series aims to put the “X” in exploitation, and you can check out Issue #1’s main cover artwork down below!
We’ll be keeping our eyes on this one…
