And all of these horror writers will have to have signed off their named appearances in this week's Uncanny X-Men #17 by Gail Simone and Luciano Vecchio. Along with a number of horror-based Marvel superheroes.

It's all for the debut of Mutina, a character in a new mutant slasher movie in the Marvel Universe, and also the person playing herself. And causing discussion all over the place…

But, just as there is much discussion right now over certain movies that haven't even been released yet, without people even seeing it, well, the Outliers of the X-Men decide to do something about that.

And yes, they have collectable Mutina popcorn buckets, which, if real, would totally fill a Bleeding Cool clickbait article about them.

But it seems that the "pro mutant" message of Mutina, intended by the director, might not have been picked up by the entire audience watching. It's like Starship Troopers all over again…

… just with the bugs being in the audience, and going for burgers afterwards… Uncanny X-Men #17 by Gail Simone and Luciano Vecchio is published today by Marvel Comics.

Uncanny X-Men #17 by Gail Simone, Luciano Vecchio
HORROR COMES TO HAVEN HOUSE! When a brilliant but exploitative Hollywood director makes a surprise hit horror film featuring a serial-killing mutant girl, there are protests at theaters around the country and a rise in anti-mutant violence in those same communities. But IS it "just a movie," or is something much more insidious going on? Will a malignant force make the X-team their PREY? Will they get out alive, or will it all end in MISERY?
