From February 9th, 2011 I'm told the members of the X-Men are planned  split into two very distinct teams and books, each with a different moral outlook, aligning along the traditional Xavier/Magneto divide Scott Summers, Cyclops, will lead the Xavier-minded team, while the Magneto-motivated will be [...]

Well, despite having two X-Men comic books, that couldn't more so be the case with this pair. Cyclops #1 by Lee Black and Dean Haspiel is a solo story of a silver-age Cyclops Set during the earlyish school days of the X-Men, and clearly with an eye on First Class, it centres soley on Scott and[...]

Seen by a Little Bleeder holidaying in Vietnam, who noticed that they have a line of men's skin care products named after the X-Men, using the movie logo. Including the ever-present skin whitening creams. I wonder what Bishop would think of this? Seen by a Little Bleeder holidaying in Vietnam, who noticed that they have a line[...]

Cebulski, Daniel Ketchum and Clay Mann skillfully evading any questions about a Wolverine/Cyclops X-Men split Still they did tell the folks that Frenzy and Legion will join X-Men Legacy after Age Of X, Daniel Acuña drawing an arc on the Wolverine book, and answered questions why Magneto changes ages between books – and how[...]

Bleeding Cool was the first to bring you word that the upcoming X-Men event would centre around a split in the X-Men Principally between Wolverine and Cyclops, with all the X-mutants aligning to one camp or another. Marve's recent tease, and the naming of the event "Schism" seemed to confirm this, a Cyclops visor carved into[...]

And I'm in for Morning Glories until issue 100… Although I do wonder if writer Nick Spencer knows of this classic radio excerpt from Spike Milligan's The Goons from the 1950s. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jovKdnhRC5Q[/youtube] I've talked about the upcoming X-Men event Schism, and I expect to be talking more about it today, but Generation Hope looks to be slap bang[...]

Was it that long ago that Jamie McKelvie was a member of the Warren Ellis Forum, and later its successor The V, where he teamed up with fellow board member KIeron Gillen? I just remember long nights with the pair of them and a bunch of other reprobates at The Ship on Wardour Street as[...]

C'mon, you gotta give me this one? No? X-Men: Prelude by Paul Jenkins is now called X-Men: Prelude to Schism. And what is Schism? Why something that, according to this visual, sees Cyclops and Wolverine at odds. Last month Bleeding Cool reported; I'm told the members of the X-Men are planned  split into two very distinct[...]

Infernal Triangles, the third Veitch collection, came out nearly five years ago. Uncanny X-Men #281 The first post-Claremont issue Marvel collected (bar a few pages) #282-288 in the Coming of Bishop, but chose to leave out the issue that kicked off the storyline, likely because Bishop didn't actually debut until the next issue, but it's still odd[...]

From the new Empire magazine, January Jones as Emma Frost and Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, of the Hellfire Club. Isn't it blue...

Okay, so the big new X-Men event thing (not to be confused with the current X-Men Age Of X thing) is to be MMXI – Year Of The X-Men, It may well be this that leads into these Cyclops' X-Men and Wolverine's X-Men rumours I'd been hearing. But why use the Latin? Well, to quote David[...]

In other words, BookScan accounted for about 30% of aggregate sales between the two markets. Where are May's X-titles?

I have been led to understand by a reputable comics source certain details about the future direction of the X-Men books, post-Fear Itself, possibly towards the end of the year, but definitely into the next. Understand, that is this is as a result of a recent X-summit, but also that these are plans many months away[...]

He wrote some of the best selling issues of X-Men, ever, under group editor Bob Harras They sold seven figures, some of them These days they don't even sell six Figures that is. He also wrote some of the more mocked issues (Not the most-most-mocked issues though.) He also wrote a parody of Watchmen that went head[...]

Continuing what I'm betting is a planned chaos of image releases that had everyone wondering yesterday if the studio was crazy like a Fox, the first X-Men: First Class teaser poster was just released to Harry Knowles via Bryan Singer  Given the furor that the now-you-see-it, now-you-don't promo image inspired yesterday, I wonder if Fox[...]
