The Comic Book Lineup

I. The Exceptional X-Men Core Run (Issues #7, #12, and #13 Set)

1. Exceptional X-Men #7 (2025) — Cover A First Printing: A crucial mid-series turning point! The operational boundaries and tactical stakes heat up for the team's young roster as outside political pressures threaten to fracture their safe haven. Features a crisp, high-gloss standard retail Cover A that commands immediate attention.

2. Exceptional X-Men #12 (2025) — Cover A First Printing: The high-stakes endgame approaches. Written by Eve L. Ewing, this hot recent issue pushes the squad's unique combined power sets to an absolute strategic breaking point as an embedded threat finally reveals its face.

3. Exceptional X-Men #13 (2025) — Carmen Carnero Cover A First Printing: A spectacular, sequential continuation featuring a museum-grade main cover illustrated by superstar artist Carmen Carnero (Captain America, X-Men Red).
