Another Panini / Marvel relaunch

Essential X-Men is the latest Marvel Collectors' Edition to begin a new volume from No.1. Published by Panini UK, the first issue of the new series is on sale now, as a 100 page bumper edition, going to its usual 76 page format with issue 2. 

The relaunch also switches to the squarebound format that's gradually being introduced across the whole line, and a 51p price rise to £4.50. We're now living in an age where prices like that, and higher, are the norm for UK comics/mags. Sad, but inevitable, and out of the publisher's control. (The cheapest British comics are now Beano and 2000AD at £2.75 each.)

Anyway, the new Essential X-Men No.1 is a perfect jumping-on point for new or lapsed readers, so let's see what's in this issue...

ESSENTIAL X-MEN #1. On sale 3rd May! 
100-page special! A new volume begins! £4.50!
A new era for the X-Men unfolds! The X-Men’s Gold Team tackles Terrax the Tamer! By Marc Guggenheim and Ardian Syaf!

Featuring material first published in X-Men: Gold #1 and X-Men: Blue #1-3.
