X-Men #1 launches TODAY. Here's Marvel's launch trailer and Newsarama's primer

Today is LAUNCH DAY for Marvel's Merry Mutants... Or probably the best way to describe the new status quo is "Modern Marvel Mutant" as the "Dawn of X" age has begun and Jonathan Hickman relaunches the X-Men with a brand new ongoing series - with Leinil Yu and Gerry Alanguilan helping steer the art and inking duties!

To celebrate the occasion as well as promote the new first issue, Marvel has released a launch trailer featuring plugs and interviews from the staff and crew from the House of Ideas.

Avengers: Age of Ultron: EW interlocking cover pays homage to X-Men #1

Looks like Earth's Mightiest Heroes paid homage to the Merry Mutants of Marvel in a poster for the interlocking covers of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly that spotlights the upcoming blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe film that is "Avengers: Age of Ultron"!

Via Comic Book.com, fans have noticed the similarities between the new EW interlocked poster cover that shows The Avengers battling Ultron, to the 90's cover of X-Men #1 as drawn by Jim Lee. In fact, the director of design for the magazine confirmed it is indeed a tribute to said cover in his tweet referencing Mr. Lee.

And obviously a Hulk-sized hat tip to @JimLee #themaster
