Ann Nocenti Bringing Fans an Unforgettable Two-Part Saga in X-Men Legends #3 Featuring Longshot, Mojo, and Spiral

Marvel Comics has announced that X-Men editor and legendary writer Ann Nocenti is joining the list of extraordinary creators that tell brand-new stories set during their iconic runs in X-Men Legends #3. Nocenti and artist Javier Pina will be kicking off a two-part saga that will take place right after the 1985 series Longshot. Nocenti and artist Arthur Adams introduced Marvel fans to Longshot, Mojo, and Spiral during the series in 1985, and Nocenti is set to return and fill the gap between Longshot‘s original adventure and his time with the X-Men. Marvel also tells fans that they can expect “plenty of metacommentary, pop culture references, and unabashed mayhem—all from the mastermind behind it all!”

Marvel’s official description for X-Men Legends #3 reads:

“Longshot’s adventure on Earth may be over, but before he can continue his mission, he’s pulled into Mojoworld for a multipicture deal he simply can’t refuse. And when Wolverine and Shadowcat investigate the mysterious psionic disturbance, will they be able to escape the pull of Mojoworld before things SPIRAL out of control?”

Nocenti shares her excitement to return to the Mojoverse in the press release, saying:

“It’s been a blast to play in the Mojoverse again. The zany world of Longshot, created with Arthur Adams back when we were both just ‘kids,’ is now being drawn by spectacular artist Javier Pina, and let’s just say it is a joyful experience to watch Javier nail these characters perfectly. Along with editors Mark Basso and Drew Baumgartner, we’re jamming away in MOLLYWOOD, Mojo’s Movie studio, where Mojo, Spiral and Major Domo are making a genre mashup masterpiece as only Mojo can imagine, designed, of course, to mess with Longshot. The madcap crew has also gotten their hands on some X-MEN — Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, and her faithful dragon Lockheed, all dragged in to star in the film. The big question is — who will win the Mojo Award for Best Death?”

X-Men Legends #3 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on July 27th, 2022. Check out the cover reveal below:
