uncanny x-men Archives

All week long, the new writers of the upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch have been telling us how important it is to torture the X-Men for good stories. Said Matthew Rosenberg: I think the best X-Men stories need two things that often seem in opposition, but are entirely crucial First they need real danger The X-Men go through[...]

Yesterday, we commented on the disappointing lack of action or drama on the covers for Uncanny X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #2, released earlier this week We also reported on the shocking lack of feet, not only in both covers by Leinil Francis Yu and Edgar Delgado, but also in the massive teaser image by[...]

It's the most exciting comic book revival in the history of comics! The return to prominence for an oft-abused franchise! It's… a bunch of characters standing around doing nothing? Last week Marvel revealed the creative team for the upcoming Uncanny X-Men Revival, and with it, a teaser image by David Marquez and Rachelle Rosenberg featuring a[...]

We'll leave it up to you decide which type of day this is.

Marvel has revealed the creative team for the upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch, and it's… pretty much everyone. Ed Brisson, Kelly Thompson, Matthew Rosenberg, Mahmud Asrar, R.B Silva, Yildiray Cinar, and Pere Pérez will serve as the creative team, perhaps taking a little bit of inspiration from our own suggestion for the X-reboot, though with far less Chris[...]

While it's true that comics should move forward and not rely on the past, it's just plain stupid not to leverage the man who co-created many of the stories that defined the X-Men. Uncanny X-Men will return in November, and there's no creative team announced yet That means there's still time for Marvel to consider the[...]

Just announced at the X-Men panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Uncanny X-Men is returning in November No word on the creative team at this time, perhaps because, as Bleeding Cool reported, one is not yet locked down. But it will follow a series of weekly one-shots in October focusing on X-Men villains, each by a different creative[...]

Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston has already checked off one of the X-announcements on his "2018 San Diego Comic-Con pip pip you heard it here first checklist," but we're still waiting for the big one: Uncanny X-Men #1. Of course, you've heard our hopes on what they might do with it: let Chris Claremont write something, ferchrissakes[...]

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:[...]

By Joe Glass Possibly one of the most worryingly titled X-Men events is the focus of Marvel's panel, as they reveal more of Death of X.  Hosted by Rickey Purdin, with Axel Alonso, Cullen Bunn, Tom Taylor and Scott Koblish. Alonso tells us Death of X fills in the gaps between the end of Secret Wars and where[...]

And of course, who better to pull the details of his rise in popularity and success than his longtime partner in creativity, Jamie McKelvie. We start with a big cheer from a roomful of The Wicked + The Divine fans, followed by Jamie and Kieron taking their seats to be awarded by Comic-Con International for their[...]

Uncanny X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis et al and the Iceman plot-line Iceman, for years, has had hints and breadcrumbs left that there is more to this character than simple class-clown, heart of the X-Men archetype that we have most often seen him portrayed as There has often been hinted that there is something dark inside[...]

By Josh Hechinger Welcome to From Strip to Script, where I take a page of finished comic art and try to derive a script from it, to see what I can learn from the exercise. I've tried to avoid doing the same series twice in this column, just because there's eighty-million-gajillion-and-five comic books out there, and that[...]

So, Caliban is now a movie character, cast in X-Men Apocalypse. So what has that done for his first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #148?

Towards the end of today's Uncanny X-Men #38 by Brian Bendis and Kris Anka The question is asked. Why indeed Especially since if you are X-Men, the way you appear in posters, toys, trading cards, cartoons is severely restricted these days, in the Marvel politics plays with Fox… Indeed these days, you don't even have to be mutants[...]
