Rachel Summers, aka Prestige and formerly known as the Phoenix, has been driven into a frenzy by Mesmero. She has already downed Colossus and Kitty Pryde, and Magik and Storm follow soon after. Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Iceman, and Pyro are the only ones left to calm Rachel down, but, after Prestige so easily incapacitated the other […]
Sworn to sell comics for Marvel executives who feared and hated the fact that Fox owned their movie rights, The Uncanny X-Men suffered great indignities, but with a corporate merger on the way, the X-Men can finally get back to doing what they do best: being objectively the best franchise in comics. Each week, armed with the joy, heartbreak, […]

Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde and Colossus are still reeling from their cancelled wedding when we suddenly jump to a future where mutants are on the edge of extinction thanks to the Sentinels. That time jump happens just as abruptly in the […]
Len Wein passed away yesterday. Much has been made of his contribution to comics and the modern-day superhero form as the co-creator of Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler and more for Marvel, as well as Swamp Thing for DC Comics and editor of Watchmen, as well as a life that began in the fanzine culture of […]
Since writing a post covering some character confirmations in Fox's Matt Nix penned new X-Men TV show, under the working title of Gifted, I have been building a bit of an idea. Most X-Men films have loosely based themselves, or taken inspiration, or thematic ideas, from the comics story arcs as a source. X2 has […]
This post contains MASSIVE spoilers for Logan to go alongside this particular bit of thinking around the context of the movie. So if you have not yet seen the film….read at your own risk. In fact, the film is too good…go see it first and come back! . . . Seriously, I implore you, go […]
Operação Lava Jato is the name of an investigation being carried out in Brazil, that translates as "Speedy Car Wash." Initially a money laundering investigation, it has expanded to cover allegations of corruption at the state-controlled oil company Petrobras, where it is alleged that executives accepted bribes in return for awarding contracts to construction firms at inflated prices. […]
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were originally the Romani children of Romani parents Django and Marya Maximoff. Ten Marvel started messing with their history so that it was believed they were the children of Magneto and his then-wife Magda, Magda leaving Magneto before their birth, taking sanctuary with the High Evolutionary. Magda fled again, dying of […]
Well we all knew it was coming. And now it has… but possible not by who we thought. Marguerite Bennett and Mike Norton are writing Years Of Future Past for Secret Wars, in a world where Kate Pryde was never able to travel back in time to her youthful Kitty self. And had to fight with […]

As I first reported in December, members of the 'grown up' X-Men cast will be appearing in Apocalypse. Several other sites have kicked around reports that it was going to be a 'younger team only' deal but Simon Kinberg has now coughed to the truth. In his interview with The Daily Beast, he says: It […]
A couple of recent interview bits with Simon Kinberg have just floated to the surface during this incredibly successfully, record breaking release weekend for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
James MacAvoy appeared on BBC's Sunday morning politics and culture show, The Andrew Marr Show, to promote X-Men: Days Of Future Past. With X-Men First Class, he was rather dismissing of 3D films – and now Days Of Future Past is one. He said, Thank God this movie is not in 3D, which is just […]
So I went to see the new X-Men film last night. Not the New York red carpet affair, Hannah already did that, but the London IMAX screening. This is not a review of X-Men Days Of Future Past. It's more of a stuff-that's-still-in-my-head-after-seeing-it-last-night piece, the like of things I want to tell people going in to […]
