Synopsis
After escaping the tyranny of Norman Osborn, his Dark Avengers, Dark X-Men, and H.A.M.M.E.R., the X-Men now have to settle into their new home on the freshly resurfaced Asteroid M, officially renamed Utopia. On Utopia, the X-Men rebuilt homes, cultivated a farm, kept their island afloat, rationed food, gathered Atlanteans, and defended against enemies both old and new.
The X-Men are also faced with the personal challenges, pressured relationships, and individual conflicts. One of the original X-Men leaves the team, a reformed super villain joins, and an old friend finally comes home.Issues
