This was my first time exhibiting at this particular MCM, held in the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK. Indeed, it was my first time

In a major talent coup, Marvel announced today that upcoming issues of their meat and potatoes relaunch X-titles, X-Men Gold and X-Men Blue, will get special variant covers by none other than Jim freaking Lee Lee, who currently works as Co-Publisher for DC Comics, didn't even show up for the Image Founders 25th anniversary reunion panel[...]

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,

X-Men Apocalypse may not have been a critical darling like Logan or a surprise smash hit like Deadpool, but Alexendra Shipp, who played Storm in the film, is willing to give the X-Men cinematic universe another shot In an interview with ScreenRant, Shipp shockingly revealed that she would be willing to accept money in exchange[...]

Revealed on Marvel media partner website IGN, Emma Frost will lead a team of X-Men against Hydra in Secret Empire: United From Jim Zub and Ario Anindito (with a cover by Ryan Stegman), the book provides readers the first glimpse at Frosts' post-IvX status quo, in which she will, apparently, be leading her own team of X-Men, attempting to start[...]

Art by Olivier Coipel 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[...]

And technically, neither is Gifted. In a report on Entertainment Weekly, multiple sources have apparently confirmed that The Originals star, Joseph

After the reveal that the show is in someway connected to the name Gifted, either as a working title or the official name of the show, Matt Nix's new X-Men TV show from Fox has seen numerous elements of new information leak out from the set. It is unclear at this time if these are official,[...]

Diamond Select Toys has been knocking their line of PVC statues out of the park for the last year. They are really making a name for themselves in the

X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner has posted a photo of the cast of Fox's untiled X-Men TV show doing a read for the show Except, in the tweet, she refers to the reading as "Gifted." Could "Gifted" be the name of the as-yet-untitled show, which is created by Burn Notice's Matt Nix, and whose pilot[...]

Readers, how would you like a side of delicious corner box art with your meat and potatoes X-men relaunch? Following up on February's glorious tribute to the iconic "corner box" with a series of Joe Jusko variants covers, the corner box is making a full-on return in April! Well, except, it's no longer a box, technically,[...]

This also further complicates the already convoluted X-Men timeline since The Wolverine was in the same timeline as X-Men: The Last Stand which was blinked out of existence in X-Men: Days of Future Past Logan also says that it takes place in 2029, six years after the Future scene from Days of Future Past but[...]

Art by Jim Cheung So today we got the final revelation about that mystery X-Book, which it turned out that was not a new X-Force book like everyone assumed, but in fact Astonishing X-Men So let's engage in some fun speculation, eh, and in July we can all look back and see how right we may[...]

Throwing a curveball fans' way, the comic will not actually be called X-Force, but Astonishing X-Men, as decided during a typical Marvel creative summit exercise where pros put on a blindfold, spin around until they're dizzy, and then try to pin a donkey tail onto a random adjective, a process which is actually far more complex than the one by[...]

X-Men, which came to an end today with it's sixth issue. (Marvel just really likes events, okay Event, event, event As one ends another starts or is announced Because capitalism people love events Yeah, that's it.) Anyway, IvX#6, written by Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire with art by Leinil Francis Yu, Gerry Alanguilan and David Curiel ended[...]

Two more mutants have been added to the teaser image for It-Must-Be-X-Force. And it looks like one of my guesses was indeed right! Gambit is joining this

However, now the the smoke has cleared, Fox has cleared away the rubble, buried their dead back, and returned fire by casting Burn Notice alum Coby Bell in their upcoming untiled X-Men TV show as a character named Jace Turner, who Deadline describes as "a weathered man who quietly wrestles with the moral ambiguities of a job[...]

It seems like it was just last week that we were saying it seems like it was just last week that Sir Patrick Stewart announced his retirement from playing

Art by Sir Robert Liefeld It's amazing that X-Men producer Simon Kinberg ever manages to get anything done, what with all the interviews that he does Kinberg's latest sit-down occured with schedule-themed Hollywood gossip site Deadline, and during that interview, Kinberg revealed which characters will be the focal point of the upcoming X-Force film, saying, "We[...]

Variant cover by Rahzzah This week is round two for CBR's discussion with X-editors Daniel Ketchum, Mark Paniccia, Christina Harrington, and this time including Chris Robinson and Mark Basso. And straight off the bat we're given this little tidbit from Daniel Ketchum – there will be another LGBT character in the X-titles that has not yet been[...]

And hey, if nothing else, with this now being the fourth book featuring Old Man Logan (Weapon X, X-Men Gold, Old Man Logan and this), at least this seems to prove that old age can't slow Wolverine down.     Art by Jim Cheung Marvel are continuing with their tried and true method of long-form teasing using a[...]

Art by Joe Quesada Some minor spoilers perhaps, though it was kind of featured in a few of the trailers. Logan, out now in case you somehow didn't know, features an in-universe, X-Men comic that the characters pass around and refer to occasionally. The art was created by Joe Quesada and Dan Panosian, with the former sharing on[...]

They tell me exactly how it is – even after the first X-Men Origins: Wolverine They were like, "dude.." It's a very true statement that fans of comic films in particular are never the sort to have any lack of opinions when it comes to their particular fandom and of the actors who take up the mantles of[...]

Hell, even comedian Stephen Merchant manages to bring forth a role that is painfully straight, tragic and emotional, whilst covered in tons of makeup and rags. And it is what has made the role of Wolverine a career defining role for Hugh Jackman and made that character such an important part of the X-Men franchise of[...]

In Fox's Logan, in theaters now, viewers learn through exposition in the movie that something terrible happened to The X-Men, and that Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier was probably responsible for it In the film, Xavier suffers from a degenerative brain disease that causes seizures which project a terrible psychic attack on everyone in a large[...]

Still, the movie's positive reception is likely to keep Logan's legend alive long after its opening weekend star has faded, giving Logan a good chance to dig its claws into the guts of at least the top five X-Men box office takes when the dust settles. It wasn't just the spleens of his enemies that Logan punctured this weekend[...]

If you've been following the X-movie news over the past few months, you know that Fox is working on a new film with a working title of X-Men: Supernova that will retell the Dark Phoenix story that Fox screwed up in X-Men: The Last Stand Looking to add clarity to these rumors, Simon Kinberg appeared on[...]

It seems like it was only last week that legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart announced his retirement from playing the role of Charles Xavier in the X-Men films This may be because it was just last week that Patrick Stewart announced his retirement from playing Charles Xavier in the X-Men films But who cares how[...]

For me, none were more exciting than the second wave of X-Men related characters after the success of wave one last year Last week, we took a look at the awesome Old Man Logan figure Today, we will look at three of the other seven figures from the wave Look for part two tomorrow. I will[...]

Fox's upcoming live-action television series set in the X-Men universe continues to pick up steam was more casting news continues to emerge While the series doesn't yet have an official title (they really should do something about soon), we do know that Burn Notice's creator Matt Nix will be showrunner for it and is a[...]
