Former DC 'exclusive' artist Brett Booth is returning to Marvel Comics in the next few months, and will 🏅be making a big splas♓h by joining Jonathan Hickman on Marvel's ongoing X-Men title.

Booth will be drawing January 27's X-Men #17, as revealed in the just-released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:💞🌠Marvel Comics January 2021 solicitations.

"When the Shi'ar Empire asks the X-Men for help, Cyclops, Storm and Marvel Girl answer the call," reads Marvel's solicitation for this post-'X of Swords'🎶 issue.

Marvel hasn't specified the length of Booth's tenure on the X-Men title, but this comes just weeks after original series artist Lei𓄧nil Francis Yu announced that the recent X-Men #12 was his last issue on interiors. ♋Mahmud Asrar is drawing X-Men #13 - #15, with Cable artist Phil Noto on #16.

Booth is a familiar face for mutant fans, having drawn several issues of C𓃲hris Claremont's second X-Men run in 2000 and 2001, as well as issues of X-Men Unlimited.

Booth has primarily been at DC the past nine years, drawing Teen Titans, The Flash, and the recent Flash Forward limited series. He has also been drawing the latest volume of Valiant Entertainment's Bloodshot, and has been workin𓃲g on an unannounced creator-owned project on the side.

Marvel readers will get their first taste of Booth's modern work in December, as he's one of the artists involved in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chris Claremont Anniversary Special #🌠1 anthology.
