Writer Peter David will be the next classic X-creator returning to add new depth to in an arc o𒁃n X-Men Legends, starting in J🃏uly's #5.

X-Men Legends is an ongoing series in which former X-creators return to their classic runs on X-Man and its spin-off titles to shed new light or expand on stories from the past. So far, writer Fabian Nicieza has returned to t🦩ell his planned story of the third Summers brot⛄her, while Walt and Louise Simonson wi♏ll soon make ꦉan X-Factor return of their own on the next arc.

Following that, the title will apparently stay in X-Factor country, bringing in longtime X-Factor writer Peter David, who penned the team's adventures for multiple volumes in the '90s and '00s, to explore a new dimension to a cl꧃assic story left unfinished alongside artist Todd Nauck.

"Mutants have taken hostages, and X-Factor is taking the blame! But before judgment is rendered for P🎶olaris, Havok, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy, Quicksilver, and Multiple Man, Val Cooper and X-Factor will take the stand!" reads Marvel's synopsis for X-Men Legends #5. "But who's telling the truth, and what really went down at the Latverian Embassy? It all makes sense…from a certain point of view."

David's run on X-Factor remains a cult classic, owing largely to his offbeat characterization and the eclectic membership of the t♚eam during his years on the title.

"X-Factor are old friends of mine, and I was delighted when Marvel gave me the opportunity to revisit them," David states in t✅he announcement. "I have to admit, I was ওa little concerned since so many years have passed. But the moment I started writing them it was like no time had gone by it all."

X-Men Legends #5 is du🌞e out in July. Stay tuned to Newsarama for Marvel's full July 2021 solicitations late♑r this month.
