X-Men Blue's Roster To Get Uncannily Refreshed After Poison X Crossover

Published Wed, 01 Nov 2017 13:00:18 -0500

Following the events of the upcoming Poison X crossover beginning in X-Men Blue Annual #1 in January and carrying over into the X-Men Blue and Venom books, a new team of X-Men will form. The news was revealed by X-Men Blue writer Cullen Bunn in an interview with CBR which the website stretched out into two additional clickbait articles.

"This story is titled 'Poison-X,' and it crosses over issues of X-Men Blue and Venom," explained Bunn. "I'm not sure how much I can give away… It involves alien symbiotes. It involves the Starjammers. It takes the X-Men to the far reaches of space and pits them against a terrible and unexpected foe. This adventure changes the X-Men — some more than others. And — hey! — it's exciting for me to write a few more issues of Venom!"

"Because of things that happen in the space adventure, you're going to see a completely new team of X-Men take shape," he continued. "That team will be dealing with some major story threads, including the revelation of Mothervine, the strange secondary mutations that are popping up with some long-standing mutant characters."

Prior to New York Comic Con, Bleeding Cool reported on a rumor that the long-running series Uncanny X-Men would return following the resurrection of Jean Grey in Phoenix: Resurrection. Could Bunn's revelation about a new roster coincide with the return of Uncanny X-Men and its companion series, X-Men, with X-Men Blue and Gold being renamed and returning to Legacy numbering?

Well, it's bound to happen eventually, so we'll eventually be right about it, even if this isn't the time.
