This publication is also known as: X-Treme X-Men: X-Posé #1; X-Treme X-Men: X-Pose' #1 or X-Treme X-Pose #1. Properly rendered, the last letter of the word "X-Pose" in this series title has an accent on it. Thus, the title of this issue can also be rendered as X-Treme X-Men: X-Posé #1 or X-Treme X-Men: X-Pose' #1. We have even seen the title listed as X-Treme X-Pose #1, which assumes that the word "X-Pose" is intended to replace the word "X-Men" because it partially covers it in the cover logo.
