UNCANNY X-MEN #448 -- THE COMPLETE ISSUE
Marvel Comics has provided The Continuum with the complete issue of Uncanny X-Men #448, which is scheduled to reach stores on Sept. 1.
The issue is written by Chris Claremont, with art by Olivier Coipel and a cover by Greg Land. Coipel is part of Marvel's "Young Guns" initiative, featuring six up-and-coming artists.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"'Guess Who's Back in Town?' part 1 of 2. After their battle with the Fury, the X-Men look forward to a pleasant visit in England with their old friends Brian and Meggan Braddock -- but naturally, fate has other plans! A surprise villain with an especially ugly history with Wolverine and a score to settle with Sage is crashing the party...and she's not leaving without the life of an X-Man."
Uncanny X-Men #448 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.25.

BRIEFLY
"We've been hyping this issue for a long time, and although we always try to generously overprint, we can only risk printing so many," said Josh Blaylock of Devi's Due. I worry that some retailers are not ordering enough on their initial numbers. We urge everyone to take this into consideration for issue #34 and beyond. The fate of General Hawk is going get a lot of fans talking."
