Fox are making a TV show based on the X-Men character, Legion, starring another Brit-playing-an-an-American-comics-character Dan Stevens I'm hearing a great deal of positive buzz from people who have recently finished working on the show, which had the working title "clubhouse " Look for that name on any filming signs plastered to lamp posts in your area.

The video, In The Foot Steps Of… mentions how ten years prior mutants were first learned of and then traces them back to a single mutant in the time of ancient Egypt, En Sabah Nur / Apocalypse. X-men: Apocalypse opens May 27th. [youtube]https://youtu.be/xlPw8NUZuuU[/youtube] Fox has released a new viral video done in the style of the old[...]

We have followed each others careers since, which was why I was so pleased to discover he had written this ad for Sky Fibre, a British internet provider which happens to use characters from the upcoming movie X-Men Apocalypse. So, yes, finally, Hayden gets to write the X-Men And yes, he really liked the Quicksilver bit[...]

Whatever 'Death Of X' is, Marvel Comics wants to clear out their warehouse of X-Men related titles, it seems With every X-related trade paperbacks and hardcovers getting a very large discount for retailers who want to help Marvel in that endeavour. So why do Marvel, seemingly, want to clear their warehouse of any X-Men title? And[...]

And we reach the third and final part of my interview with CNN political analyst Van Jones. Previously we covered his growing up with comics and how they

Awhile back we did a story about a CNN commentator named Van Jones who compared Donald Trump to Sebastian Shaw of the X-Men The story got a lot of attention including from Jones himself Now Shaw isn't a fixture in the pop culture as some other super villains like Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom, which[...]

I'm back with a stack of new comics now! This was a lighter week, but it had a book I'm suggesting to everyone: Paper Girls volume one! It's[...]

Only the most valuable comics were stolen, including the first eight issues of Justice League Of America and first twenty issues of X-Men from the sixties, and over $2000 in cash, totalling over a quarter of a million dollars and trashing the store in the process. The comics were all CGC slabbed, so it is possible they[...]

A few more changes 'twixt solicitation and publication… Uncanny X-Men #6 will be drawn by Paco Medina well as the previously solicited Ken Lashley. Hercules #6 will be drawn by Dalibor Talajic, not the previously solicited Emilio Laiso. Action Comics #50 was solicited with art by Aaron Kuder but he was joined by David Messina, Javi Fernandez, Bruno Redondo and Vicente Cifuentes Batman and Robin Eternal #23[...]

Jones replied by referencing a Marvel Comics character, a regular X-Men villain Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club He explained that Shaw had an interesting power where the more you hit him the stronger he got He said he believed that the Republican party looked at Trump like Shaw and were afraid that attacks against[...]

Written by Cullen Bunn, and announced at the Instore Convention Kick-Off, the X-Men series spin-off series from Civil War II, with Magneto getting rather interested in the Inhuman with a power set that will divide the Marvel Universe over their reaction to the individual in question… It's X-Men Vs Inhumans, folks! UPDATE: Cullen Bunn later stated that the[...]

We learned at the end of last month's Extraordinary X-Men that Sunfire sided with Cylops on… whatever he did that got him killed and made everyone so upset Well, today's issue sees Illyana have a go, and Colossus hold her back. Anti-mutant riots It could be a lot worse Running through his recent memories… we discover[...]

It was 2011's X-Men: First Class that was the breath of fresh air (and hope) on to the mutant family of films, but now the long holding of breath for the next non-stinker is finally here Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds as the super-healing, swear-like-a-sailor, super-mercenary, fourth-wall breaker is the film that the long-suffering Marvel fans[...]

We recently saw how the modern day, newly out Iceman was dealing with those around him. And maybe sharing a vibe with a certain inhuman... Well, the

Without the text, Bleeding Cool theorised that this scene could represent the Uncanny X-Men rounding up as many mutant healers as they could to save the remaining mutant population on Earth from the effects of the Terrigen mists.It was not to be… instead it's a thinning of the crowd. No More Medics? Dr Marc Dale, from one[...]

The last page of Extraordinary X-Men #4 shocked its audience. Or at least the media audience. Newsarama reported But not just Cyclops The reanimated (if he was ever actually dead) Cyclops, twisted by the Terrigen Mists and under Sinister's control, ready to take on his old teammates Sinister has always had a fascination with the Summers bloodline going[...]

Marvel Comics has just announced at the Brazilian comic book show CCXP,  a big X-Men crossover event for 2016, Apocalypse Wars featuring the All-New X-Men, Extraordinary X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. Which, handily, will come out at the same time as X-Men: Apocalypse. There won't be any tie in, the Fox/Marvel division is still in full effect[...]

So we get a little time travelled. Still folk are used to that these days, in Extraordinary X-Men Though it's complicated… In All-New X-Men #2 it can leave folks stranded… real fish out of water. Yes, yes, you can get literal with X'ed #1 the new Black Mask debut. The people of Metropolis in Action Comics would make very poor bird[...]

Featuring scenes from Extraordinary X-Men #2, All-New X-Men #1, All-New Inhumans #1, Daredevil #1, Doctor Strange #3 and Invincible Iron Man #3. So we have learned in previous episodes that Cyclops (the adult version rather than the time-travelling teenage version) did a Very Bad Thing And also that he is dead. In All-New X-Men, he gets the sobriquet… …world's most[...]

On the Graham Norton Show, currently airing on BBC 1, with a guest list including Daniel Radcliffe, Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch and James MacAvoy, we got a tease as to a certain plot point from the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. Noting that Daniel Radcliffe has shaved his head for Imperium, a film where he plays an FBI[...]

I did complain a little that All-New Wolverine #2 had the chance for X-23 to break out the "I'm the best there is at what I do" line and fumbled the toss. Not a problem in the relaunch of All-New X-Men Here's a preview from issue 1 from CBR… letting us know exactly what they have[...]

At the end of Uncanny X-Men #600, the Beast was subject to a "trial" from his peers regarding his meddling in time But it was a court that didn't seem to have any teeth at all But in a strop, he left with his metaphorical rather than actual tail between his legs, and taking his[...]

On Wednesday we talked about the gulf between Uncanny X-Men #600, with Cyclops as the savour of mutantkind and Extraordinary X-Men #1, with him as the enemy of all   There were two instances of crowd scenes in Washington around the Monument that were the polar opposite of each other But what caused such a dramatic change[...]

Bear in mind that much of Uncanny X-Men #600 was written when Rick Remender was still going to take over the Xbooks with Extraordinary X-Men Much changed in the interim. But even so… damn In Uncanny X-Men #600, along with the Trial of Hank McCoy (such that it is), and the self-outing of Iceman, we have a rather sudden[...]

When Squirrel Girl came onto the scene, in her very first story, she told Iron Man that she was a mutant, but didn't like people to know. And indeed, the

So we've talked about this for a bit. The rumour that, in the wake of Inhuman terrigen mists poisoning mutants that they would take off, leave the planet
