Mystique Makes a Comeback in New Solo Series

Mystique Returns to Her Roots in New X-Men Solo Series with Writer/Artist Declan Shalvey

In a world where the phrase “having it all” takes on a whole new meaning, Mystique, the infamous shapeshifter of the Marvel Universe, is embracing her latest roles as a wife and mother. But let’s be real – balancing family life and a criminal record is no easy feat, especially when enemies are lurking in the shadows of Krakoa, ready to take down the X-Men.

Enter writer/artist extraordinaire Declan Shalvey, the mastermind behind Mystique’s upcoming solo miniseries in the X-Men From the Ashes revival. Known for their work on Moon Knight and Dead Man Logan, Shalvey is bringing their X-enthusiasm to this project like no other.

“Mystique is hands down one of the most compelling characters to come from the Marvel Universe,” Shalvey shared. “To have an opportunity to put my own stamp on such an iconic character and showcase her in a series of her own is a unique privilege.” Plus, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to draw a shapeshifter in action?

Recently, Mystique has reunited with her wife, Destiny, and formed new bonds with their children, Rogue and Nightcrawler. But peace and domestic bliss can only last so long in the Marvel Universe. With enemies plotting against the X-Men, Mystique must dust off her espionage skills and get back in the game.

This new series is shaping up to be a spy thriller reminiscent of the 2003 Mystique series written by Brian K. Vaughan. Think of it as James Bond meets the mutant underground, with a touch of family drama and a sprinkle of “will they, won’t they” tension with Nick Fury.

So mark your calendars, comic book aficionados. Mystique #1 hits comic shops everywhere on October 16, 2024. Get ready for a wild ride through the seedy underbelly of the Marvel Universe with everyone’s favorite shape-shifting mama bear. After all, a little family drama never hurt anyone, right?
