The NZA Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 marvel "Extinction is no longer staring them in the face, so the X-Men can exhale and turn their attention back to doing what’s defined them since the beginning: Protecting a world that hates and fears them. These new titles won’t cast the X-Men as members of a species fighting for their survival but rather as big, bright, colorful super heroes who want to demonstrate to the world that they want to walk with them hand-in-hand into the future. They’ll have costumes with capes, a school, and softball games. Oh, there will be softball games. The goal is to tell exciting new X-Men stories while keeping an eye on the tropes and touchstones that longtime X-Men fans cherish." "bububut they're killing the xmen!!" no idea how iceman & jean carry solo books, but i'll read cable. that Gen X one better not be playing with my emotions, though...

Visitant Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've got some theories in the back of my head...tin foil hat theories, but I think we're gonna see some awesome pushes from the X-men and I'm hoping this is the beginning of a new era of awesome X titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Creative Teams, Lineups and Covers announced for X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold relaunch X-Men: Gold will be written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Ardian Syaf. The phase-shifting Kitty Pryde at long-last will become an X-Men team leader, whose squad includes Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, and Rachel Grey. X-Men: Blue will be written by Cullen Bunn with art by Jorge Molina. The roster will consist of the five original, time-displaced X-Men: leader Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel. The twist? With Professor X dead, their mentor will be the greatest enemy of their time, Magneto. not doing much for me, but there it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Cullen Bunn will always at least get me to give a book a chance but I'm so fucking bored of the fucking X-Men right now. Aside from the time-displaced X-teenagers, Old Man Logan, and Wolver-X23 I have no interest reading about them and their stupid petty exploits. I don't have any special love for the Inhumans but they're a lot more tolerable right now than the mutants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 yeah, staying with OML but i dunno, the time-displaced teens still feel like bendis' lack of a plan, other than having scott & jean on a team again somehow - and even then, since i decided to waste some time with Death of X, i don't even feel really great about some of that either.

Iambaytor Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I get that there's no direction to them but aside from Beast, the original X-Men are so fucked up that they can never be fixed. This is a nice way to bring a likable Cyclops back to the Marvel universe (did you ever check out that solo series with him hanging out in space with Corsair? It's great.) I'm also loving subtext becoming text by having an elderly Wolverine hang out with the teenage version of the woman he was madly in love with.

The NZA Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 cover for issue # 4 went up ...gotta say, if 616 wolvy is back, i'm not gonna be super hyped...Old Man Logan's been way more interesting. in related X-news, the Inhumas vs X-Men book i'm not gonna read already has an event following it: over/under on who's back? Xavier could be cool far more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
