Update: Writer/artist Walter Simonson has confirmed he's drawing two issues of Marvel's X-Men Legends title, which will revisit the original '80s version of X-Factor that he ꦫdrew alongside his wife, writer Louise 'Weezie' Simonson, wh🍌o will write the arc.

"I'm getting to draw it again," Simonson said on the Mainframe Comic Con Drink and Draw YouTube stream, ✤re🍬ferring to the blue and white Cyclops costume design during their original tenure on X-Factor. "I'm drawing two issues of X-Factor, and Weezie is writing, so I'm getting to draw all that stuff again."

"It's set back in her continuity, a🐠fter my time on the book," Simonson ex🔴plains. 

Marvel Comics has now officially chimed in, sharing Simonson's cover for X-Men Legends #3, which starts the Simonsons' two-part arc, and re🥂vealing a ꧒few details about what's in store.

"Starring the original X-Men now defending the world as the mutant team X-Factor, X-Men Legen♛ds #3 will take place just before X-Factor #43," reads Marvel's officia♚l synopsis. 

"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🎐," it continues. 

"Don’t miss a rematch decades-in-the-making when the full breadth of this iconic villain’s original motives are finalꦬly revealed!"

Here's the video of the previous stream in which Simonso💖n disc𝓀usses the project, around the 8:50 mark:

Original story follows

The husband and wife creative team of writer Louise Simonson and artist Walter Simonson will reteam on an X-Factor story for Marvel's upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new X-Men Legends title, which will tell in-continuity stories set in the past bꦇy high-profile X-Men creators. 

Louise Simonson - affectionally known as "Weezie" - was previously confirmed to be writing an upcoming arc in the series announcement. Now we know it'll be illustrated by Walt Simonson, who has recently been posting X-F▨actor character sketches on his Facebook and Twitter accounts. 

Louise took over X-Factor Volume 1 - which at that t𒈔ime was a title created by Bob Layton reuniting the original five X-Men - with issue #6 in 1986 and remained with the title for five years through issue #64. Walt joined his wife of then six years as the penciler beginning with X-Factor #10 and drew 23 issues through 1989 culminating with #39.

Among the major story developments during the Simonsons' X-Factor run was the creation of the n🙈ow-major X-Men villain Apocalypse in Louise's first issue, and (considered a shocking development at the time) and his temporary villainous role as one of the af🐲orementioned Apocalypse's Four Horsemen.

During her X-Factor run, Louise spun off a group of teen characters that were featured in the title into the X-Terminators limited series. That team featured characters like Boom-Boom, Rusty Collins, and Rictor (Simonson's creation) who she would later add to the New Mut🅠ants monthly series. 

Louise was the New Mutants writer up to issue #97 before penciler Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza took over as writer and sc♉ripter with New Mutants #98 and transformed it into X-Force #1 two issues later with Boom-Boom as a member. 

In her last major X-Factor arc, Scott Summer and Madelyne Pryor's baby Nathan was infected with the techno-organic virus and taken 2000 years into the future, a plot development that was not originally intended to be but was 🐈later retroactively incorporated into New Mutﷺants/X-Force leader Cable's origin. 

Additionally, Newsarama has learned Simonson's art will likely be physically lettered directly on the original boa🎶rds, a technique that h🍸as fallen out of favor in recent years with the advent of digital technology and will likely be a boon to the collector value of the new art. 

Simonson's art will likely be lettered🐓 by🍌 his long-time collaborator John Workman. 

Marvel Comics declined tꦉo comment for this story.&nb✤sp;

OF COURSE Louise Simonson makes Newsarama’s countdown of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the greatest X-Men creators of all time!
