The Press Release:
She’s the mutant murderess you never see coming! This October, Mystique headlines an all-new solo series set in the X-Men’s upcoming From the Ashes era! Written and drawn by award-winning creator Declan Shalvey (Moon Knight, Dead Man Logan), MYSTIQUE will sift through the dark underbelly of the Marvel Universe for an unpredictable tale of action and espionage starring the world’s most mysterious mutant. Today, fans can see four all new variant covers for the debut issue!
The three new covers showcase Mystique at her deadliest! Yasmine Putri depicts Mystique locked and loaded for her next target, David Baldeón captures her mid-shapeshift, and Rickie Yagawa delivers joint covers that pair Mystique with this summer’s hottest stars—Deadpool and Wolverine!
How do you track a subject with a history that contradicts itself? How do you stop a force whose motives change like quicksilver? How do you stop a target that can be anyone? That’s the question that confronts Nick Fury as he stumbles upon a web of lies and espionage leading back to Mystique. From the ashes of Krakoa, the shape-shifting mutant terrorist returns to remind the world exactly why it hates and fears her.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I think that I really need to start copying and pasting this part of the post when it comes to the assorted variant covers because I always end up saying how I love many of them but will not be purchasing them at all based on using the available funds to add a different title to the weekly pull list stuff. Oh well, so yeah that is my thoughts once again but these do look awesome and I feel that fans of what Mystique is all about will want to add them to their collection. I think this is easier to do when it comes to a first issue and there seem to only be four variant cover editions. These will be hitting the racks around the time that the New York Comic Con begins so perhaps you can snag them all in one place if you plan on attending. Anyway, that is all I have to say about it. I will be picking up the first issue which I’ve already said and as I close up shop here I wonder what you think about them all. Please do chime in below and let me know which of the variants
