X-Men relaunch aims to bring mutants back to interactions with humans.

Before the first wave of X-Men: From The Ashes relaunch news hit yesterday, Bleeding Cool had run the following list of rumoured titles, and one that we had done our best to scotch, unsuccessfully.

X-Men by Gail Simone and David Marquez
Sentinels by Alex Paknadel
Young X by Eve Ewing
Cyclops by Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman
Phoenix by Stephanie Phillips
Wolverine by Saladin Ahmed and Greg Capullo
Mystique by Declan Shalvey

While the original list is not correct, it is also not incorrect either, far more than just lucky guesswork. The three full announcements were as follows.

Uncanny X-Men by Gail Simone and David Marquez
X-Men by Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman
Exceptional X-Men by Eve Ewing and Carmen Carnero.

Notably X-Men stars Cyclops. And Exceptional X-Men focuses on three Young X-Men. So what does that mean for the final three, and the announcement without creators of Phoenix, X-Factor, Storm, Nyx, X-Force and Wolverine?

Well, could it be that Mystique was renamed X-Force and will be by Declan Shalvey? Will the Greg Capullo series with Wolverine, Fury and SHIELD be Wolverine written by Saladin Ahmed? Will Stephanie Phillips be writing Phoenix? And did Sentinels become X-Factor written by Alex Paknadel? Or am I just clutching at straws here?

Either way, I'll be seeing what else I can dig out regarding all this… after all, I have a reputation to maintain with the new X-Big Boss after all.

Three Ongoing Main X-Men Comics Announced For SXSW

Gail Simone and David Marquez's Uncanny X-Men, Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's X-Men, and Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero's Exceptional X-Men, as part of X-Men: From The Ashes. Notably these are definitely different to the rumoured X-Men comics as reported last week... but not entirely different, are they? How very interesting.

Phoenix, X-Factor, Storm, Nyx, X-Force & Wolverine Announced At SXSW

Marvel Executive Editor, SVO and X-Men Group Editor Tom Brevoort has promised that X-Men: From The Ashes will put the X-Men characters back in the real world with non-mutants, something that the Krakoa Age deliberately eschewed. Oh, and he wants X-Men readers to cry every month when reading.
