In what is becoming one of the main go-to sources of information in the comics industry, Marvel Executive Vice President and new X-Men Group Editor Tom Brevoort answers the question in his Substack newsletter (commute willing) as to whether, after the modern-day Nightcrawler/Rogue./Mystique/Destiny story in the recent X-Men #35, if there were plans for a[...]

A few weeks ago, Chris Claremont made a few light-hearted comments at the Chicago comic book convention C2E2, as well as revealing some of his unpublished plans for Marvel Comics X-Men books… and it went a little viral And while I am sure some people objected to his comments, most commentary I saw was people[...]

For years, Marvel has paid Chris Claremont, the greatest comic book writer of all time, not to write comics Why anyone would do such a thing has always been beyond even me, the most cynical of all comic book "journalists."
