x-men Archives

By Joe Glass As the prominence of the Inhumans and decline of mutants visibility has been seen more and more at Marvel comics of late, many have talked about problems with going in that direction and seeing the mutants going through yet another decimation of their numbers and facing extinction. However, few have touched on an element[...]

We also mentioned that the original plan for Extraordinary X-Men was for them to be the mutants who stayed on Earth, available to survive the mists for some reason. And we wondered if that planet might be called Haven, in accordance with the Guardians Of The Galaxy of the 31st century's history, of if they would[...]

The guys go with with the rumours of the Fantastic Four possibly coming home to Marvel Studios in exchange for the TV rights of the X-Men to Fox Fox has The Hellfire Club and Legion ready to go But the debate goes, does Fox have the TV rights already or not  The guys also recap[...]

Just because you get a new X-Men team, don't expect it to be any more timely Bleeding Cool already told you how Extraordinary X-Men was pushing every ongoing X-series out of October And All-New All-Different Avengers seem to be sympatico, as December titles slip into the next year… Here are the latest latenesses. All-New All-Different Avengers #2 has[...]

Will there be a new X-Men line? What happened to the cancelled Rogue sculpt that was scheduled to be released with the Wolverine Puck Series? Which other characters will be in the assortment? Why is there a Magneto helmet posed next to her? Cottonmouth stood out as a very interesting and unique choice for a 6"[...]

The Hellfire Club in the X-Men was based on an episode of The Avengers back in the day, A Touch Of Brimstone, featuring an organisation of the same name. So it feels apt that Hellfire is one of two live-action TV shows being made by 20th Century Fox based on the X-Men titles, along with Legion. Legion is based on the[...]

Remember when we had that story that Terrigen mists were going to make the mutants of the Earth sick so that they, apart from a select few who could survive the mists, would have to go off planet?  With Extraordinary X-Men originally planned to feature the X-Men who didn't leave.. Much has changed since then[...]

CBR ran a piece, as every website is obliged to now and then, looking at the number of times Kitty Pryde has used the N-word in the X-Men comics But it also reminded me of another scene in one of those infamous issues. I remember that scene very well, but possibly for other reasons that intended by[...]

Frank Cho, fresh from Baltimore Comic Con still as his sketch covers to share. And teh equal amount of outrage it will elicit. We hope that Frank Cho is

Marvel Comics has released a stack of variant covers for the upcoming Uncanny X-Men #600 as it approached its final Final Cut Off Date date… and yes that was weird to type. But it must have been also quite weird to write "Before Secret Wars ends and the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe begins, cap off Brian[...]

To force the mutants off the planet, to the moon Europa, save for a few who were able, through their powers, to stay behind in the Extraordinary X-Men title. That was when Mike Marts was Group Editor and Rick Remender was to be head writer But things changed. And while the threat of the mists remained, the[...]

Extraordinary X-Men #1 by Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos was to have been published on the 14th October But it won't be Instead it will be published three weeks later on the 4th November Which means issue 2 which was due to be published two week after that, on the 28th October will now appear[...]

Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you of the upcoming dangers of the Terrigen Mists to the mutant population in the X-Men comic books back in May, as well as being the first to note the confirmation of this, in a preview of Extraordinary X-Men made public, and signs in a recent issue of Ms[...]

And makes him sick in the process. You know, we did have that story that Terrigen mists were going to make the mutants of the Earth sick so that they, apart from a select few who could survive the mists, would have to go off planet. But much has changed in the X-Universe since then. But could this[...]

Kirby had a hand in every part of what now makes up the Marvel Cinematic Universe as co-creator on Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man, The Avengers as well as the X-men and Fantastic Four. If you're not familiar with Jack's life… you can watch the video below to get an idea of all the[...]

By Ian Melton Cut down before it even reached two years, word went out that the mobile game X-Men: Battle Of The Atom will close down on November 30th.  Released on January 16th, 2014 the game, according to Google Play, is a card-battle game where you "fight your way through single-player missions as Wolverine, Storm, Iceman,[...]

A reader writes in excitedly to tell me that they have just bought a Marvel licensed T-shirt from Universal Studios that features both characters from the X-Men and the Fantastic Four on. Could this be an end to the licensing drought imposed by Marvel as a result of their falling out with Fox Studios and not[...]

In October, Marvel Comics is running a "What If" five weekly event title. What If Avengers #1 by Joshua Williamson and Mike Norton is being renamed What If X-Men #1 instead The solicit still reads, What if the AVENGERS lost the war? •  Years after the fall of Earth, CANNONBALL leads a small team of surviving mutants in the deepest parts of[...]

Apparently from the Wasp, looks are indeed everything. But it does help put the whole affair into strict Marvel continuity…   As in X-Men '92 where this fetching set of duds mean we must have a new line of X-Men toys immediately! If, that is, Marvel still allowed anyone to make X-Men toys… Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics,[...]

X-Men (or X-Force) '92 is just crazy fun nostalgia to be enjoyed by anyone who watched the cartoon show. Over at DC, Cyborg #2 did more to build Vic's character than all his other New 52 appearances combined, and answers if he dreams about electric sheep. Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, writes: Hey[...]

HeroClix, like many other manufacturers, have been denied the license to create Fantastic Four and X-Men toys by Marvel over the last year, as a result of Marvel's decision not to do anything that might promote those brands in any way, after their falling out with Fox Studios over the rights. So we have their latest[...]

Kirby designed and launched such iconic properties as The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor, The Hulk, and Nick Fury; he co-created Captain America and The Black Panther, and helped launch other Marvel properties such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Daredevil. Comic Book Apocalypse is curated by Professor Charles Hatfield, founder of CSUN's popular "Comics and Graphic Novels" course and[...]

Hugh Jackman is looking for input into what the fans want to see in his final time as Wolverine. The Australian actor who has been playing the mutant

These original art boards can be hard to stack… The seventeenth century also brings us the 1602 version of Guardians Of The Galaxy, there to meet with Witch Hunter Angela… Whilst in another domain the Thor Angela is being hit on by MODOK as she wonders why the other Thors aren't attending to her needs… Maybe they're a but[...]

Taken at a Hobby Lobby this weekend… even when referencing the classic sixties/seventies/eighties look of Marvel, there is no room for the Fantastic Four or the X-Men… But we do get Ghost Rider! So there's progress…. Thanks to Matt Bachman for the snappy shot…   Taken at a Hobby Lobby this weekend… even when referencing the classic sixties/seventies/eighties look[...]

From the new issue of Uncanny X-Men #35 – otherwise known as the one that was meant to come out in May, but they delayed so there wouldn't be as big a gap between it and the interminably and inexplicably late Uncanny X-Men #600 in October… And an excuse to be rather silly With recent new[...]

Channing Tatum appeared on stage at the end of the 20th Century Fox Hall H panel just now to pose with the stars of X-Men Apocalypse, Deadpool, Wolverine and Fantastic Four We also got to see the unveiling of the Gambit logo. Tatum walked out with a camera and handed it to none other than Stan[...]

Stars and directors talk about their projects to thousands of adoring fans, and reporters gobble up the news. Here are two things you can expect from Saturday's Hall H panel when it comes to movies. 1. A Confident Fox Studios Presentation Fox skipped Hall H last year, so fans didn't get to see any promotion for X-Men: Apocalypse or[...]

Such as Cullen Bunn and Greg Land relaunching Uncanny X-Men, starting in October Land last drew Uncanny X-Men when Kieron Gillen was the writer. But who will our Uncanny X-Men be? It seems it's Magneto, Sabretooth, Psylocke, Mystique and Fantomex. Quite a change[...]
