New Teaser From Marvel Includes Cullen Bunn And Steve McNiven

Marvel has released a new teaser for their comics universe, but they are holding their information pretty close to the vest.

The teaser includes the letters MU, which have a silver sheen with some barely visible claw or scrape marks. Whatever this new event or series turns out to be, it will feature the writing talents of Cullen Bunn (Civil War II: X-Men, The Sixth Gun) and the artistic stylings of Steve McNiven (Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Uncanny Inhumans).

Bunn is currently in the midst of his Civil War II: X-Men tie-in, which features the mutants of the Marvel Universe attempting to deal with the ramifications of the Inhumans and their Terrigen Mists. Magneto is growing restless, and most likely his actions here will segue into the planned Inhumans vs. X-Men series that will be written by Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule with art by Lenil Yu. That series was announced at San Diego Comic-Con.

That series will finally pit the fledgling mutant species against the Inhuman race, and the Inhumans will be calling in as many favors as they can. While it's still conjecture as to what the MU means, some early ideas involve Mutants Unite and Mutants Unleashed, which would fit with the overarching storyline thus far.

If that turns out to be the case, both should be in McNiven's wheelhouse, as he has plenty of experience with both the X-Men and the Inhumans. Hopefully, we'll know more soon.
