It's the merry mutants vs. Humanity NOW! in Uncanny X-Men #506 and we've got a 4-page preview, plus a look at some new second printing variants for Invincible Iron Man and War Machine.

The Uncanny X-Men Fight For Their Survival!

As the Humanity NOW! Coalition spreads its anti-mutant hate like wildfire, violence breaks out everywhere, leaving only one  group left to oppose them-the X-Men! The acclaimed creative team of Matt Fraction (Invincible Iron Man) and Terry Dodson present Uncanny X-Men #506 and the future of mutantkind doesn't look so bright! Only the X-Men's fringe science team (Beast, Angel and some new allies) can change things before it's too late! A HUGE discovery makes the chance of survival very small - it's a race against time like never before!

See what fans and critics are saying about Uncanny X-Men:
