Nate Grey Leans Heavily on Nostalgia in Next Week's Age of X-Man Alpha

Next week, the Age of X-Man kicks off in the aptly titled Age of X-Man Alpha special from Marvel Comics. In Uncanny X-Men #10, Nate Grey, the titular X-Man, vanished himself and all of the X-Men to an alternate universe, a utopia where mutants are beloved instead of hated and feared. It's kind of a metaphor for Disney buying Fox and Marvel suddenly realizing it can promote the X-Men again, if you think about it.

In any case, we get a glimpse of what utopia looks like for X-Man in this preview of the comic, and it looks an awful lot like 1950s America, complete with full service gas stations.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
