We'll obsessively buy and read all of these X-Men comics until the day we die, no matter how bad they get! And if we're going to do that anyway, we might as well document the experience for you, our dear readers, brothers and sisters and non-binary siblings in suffering.
This week there are five regular-priced X-Books on the stands,[...]
We make no promises about the use of your time, however, which will still be poorly spent.
This week, the X-books are: Generation X #87, X-Men Gold #22, Astonishing X-Men #8, Deadpool vs Old Man Logan #5, and… *shudders*… Venom #162, which we have to read because it's crossing over with X-Men Blue for the Poison[...]
Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde try to figure out what's happening with Rachel Grey.
X-Men Gold #21 cover by Mike Deodato Jr and Nolan Woodard
So, this is actually a really solid issue of X-Men Gold Despite my many problems with this series and its auto-pilot stories, #21 manages to bring a really solid story to the table[...]

Meanwhile, Starhammer, an alien whose species was wiped out by the Dark Phoenix, has an axe to grind with Rachel, current Prestige and former Phoenix.
In a back-up story, a girl and her[...]

X-Men Gold and Blue spread cover by Arthur Adams and Peter Steigerwald
Well, I wasn't a fan of X-Men: Blue #13, but I am a masochist and feel it is worth taking another look at the new push in the X-Men books Plus, fellow Bleeding Cool reviewer Joe Glass liked the story of this comic,[...]

X-Men: Blue and X-Men Gold #13 conjoined covers by Arthur Adams and Peter Steigerwald
We start off a new era of the X-Men with a crossover — because Marvel physically cannot control itself, I imagine.
Mojo has hopped over to 616 (or whatever it's called now) and started a global gameshow, having the X-Men fight off[...]
Rejoice, true believers! Marvel's 37th most popular mutant team is making a comeback in January as Excalibur returns for X-Men Gold Annual #1 Marvel announced the book, from writers Marc Guggenheim and Leah Williams and artist Alitha E Martinez, (a true fan who knows who Squirrel Girl is) at New York Comic Con Then they[...]

X-Men Gold #13 from Marvel by Marc Guggenheim and Mike Mayhew is the first part of both the first crossover between X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue, Mojo Worldwide, and also of X-Men Gold's new story arc as part of Marvel Legacy.
And like all classic X-Men stories, it starts with a softball game — which[...]
For X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue, this is going to be a double-down on the nostalgia stakes, after already bringing the classic feel with returning titles, or names harking back to classic formations, and returning to a focus on the kind of storytelling that had been missing from the X-titles for a while.
Well, for Marvel[...]

X-Men Gold #7 is the comic series' first Secret Empire tie-in Thankfully, it avoids all the troubling and perhaps negative aspects of the event it's tied to by locking itself in the New York/Manhattan location that is of course in the event trapped in the Darkforce Dimension.
As a result, they are able to tell[...]
It's unknown if TBA will remain on the book past the crossover, which is only scheduled now to run between the X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold books Fear not, though; there's still time to announce an Alpha and Omega issue for $5.99 each We would be remiss in not mentioning that Bleeding Cool first told[...]
X-Men: Gold Variant Cover Pays Homage To A Queen Album Cover With A Unique History That Includes A Sci-Fi Magazine from October 1953.

X-Men Gold has been something of a conventionally good series It's had solid writing, with the dialogue being one of the highlights of each issue, good art (not including thinly veiled hate speech), and fun action sequences It's also really cool to see the ever-lovable Kitty Pryde leading her own team of top-tier X-Men,[...]
Though they've moved on from that.
Was it a coincidence? X-Men Gold writer Marc Guggenheim and creator of the Green Arrow and DC's Legends Of Tomorrow TV shows is a politically active writer, as his social media attests to The questions have been asked…
@mguggenheim Enjoying Gold so far, but I have to ask: in #2, intentional dig at the[...]
With the confirmation that Marvel has terminated the contract of Indonesian artist Ardian Syaf due to the controversial secret messages hidden in X-Men Gold #1, we may have reached the end of this chapter in the book's short history Well, at least, after the next two issues come out, which Marvel has confirmed will still[...]
Following a post on Facebook yesterday declaring that "my career is over now" by Indonesian artist Ardian Syaf, Marvel has released a statement confirming they have officially terminated Syaf for the controversial hidden messages he included in X-Men Gold #1 R.B Silva is drawing issues #4-6, Ken Lashley is drawing #7-10, and Marvel expects to have a permanent[...]
Ardian Syaf has posted a statement on Facebook about the hidden messages in X-Men Gold #1 referring to an Indonesian political protest and related issues, some of which have been called anti-Christian and anti-Jewish, that rocked the comics world this weekend After Bleeding Cool reported on the messages and the story was picked up by other media organizations,[...]
ResurrXion is definitely an apt title, given this issues preoccupation about old being new again, and not to mention what seems to be several literal character resurrections in the issue (possibly).
But as the series writer Marc Guggenheim has promised for a while in the run to the release of X-Men Gold #1, Gold is all[...]

In truth, X-Men Prime only really sets up three of the upcoming X-Men titles, namely X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue and Weapon X Of these three as well, Weapon X and X-Men Blue get the most sense of set-up in the issue, with the set up of Gold purely revolving around why Kitty Pryde returns to[...]
Every so often, comic book publishers send out previews of upcoming comics without any of the lettering finished. The result, while pretty to look at,
If you look at what's going on in the world right now, there's prejudice that takes many different forms," Guggenheim said, adding, "If I've done my job correctly, people will finish the arc and see parallels to some of the rhetoric that's going on in the world right now."
What should fans make of all this,[...]
The other titles don't really have much more revealed about them, other than what is pretty obvious: X-Men Gold is classic superhero stories, Weapon X and Cable are darker titles etc.
Hopefully, as we get closer we'll learn if there are more books yet to be announced or teased, and if any existing X-Titles will continue[...]
I figured there wouldn't be any announcements quite yet, after all, they don't start until April.
Boy, was I wrong.
So, how do today's announcements of X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold stack up to some of the ideas I'd been thinking about?
I have to admit, not overwhelmingly well.
Now let me start off by pointing out the obvious[...]
