We're just one week away from superstar writer Jonathan Hickman's line-wide X-Men relaunch, kicking off with House of X with artist Pepe Larraz and Powers of X with R.B Silva, and leading into a brand new era of X-Men with Hickman writing a core ongoing book and, presumably, another fifteen or so monthly X-titles, as[...]

Things are always darkest before the Dawn of X, so as we await the big news at San Diego Comic-Con for the future of the X-Men books after the Hickboot, Marvel has revealed the cover and description for Powers of X #6, the finale of the series by Jonathan Hickman and R.B Silva which promises[...]

After all, she's kind of been in a hound state since Extermination, which was in an entirely different X-Men relaunch era than the one we're in now, which is itself being replaced by a new one this month It's understandable that this can be a little disorienting. Meanwhile, Stryfe wants to pull a Matthew Rosenberg, killing[...]

But here we are, with the Uncanny X-Men reboot ending to make way for the next reboot, and Marvel is right back to crapping all over the best mutant, as we see in this preview of Uncanny X-Men #22… How is any of this Cyclops' fault? As if Dani Moonstar's attacks weren't enough, Scott's own brother has[...]

But while it contained some characters from the normal Marvel Universe, the rest of the people, apparently, were constructs, all part of X-Man himself. And this, by some logic, makes the distinction between alternate universe… and new plane of existence? Ok, we feel X-Man may be just arguing semantics here… but it does beg the question: will[...]

Power mad Marvel Senior Editor Jordan White posted a Twitter thread listing X-Men comics in stores today, but what caught the attention of many in the replies was the image White used in his first tweet, featuring a small drawing of what appears to be Emma Frost as drawn by Russell Dauterman.

We all know that Jonathan Hickman's X-Men relaunch is set to be another "Seminal Moment" in X-Men history… but could it actually be a "Semenal Moment?" As the world awaits the relaunch that will shake the X-Men to their foundations and leave nothing ever the same again, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, you get[...]

And then there's the fact that Emma mindwiped Scott, and the rest of the X-Men, as soon as he returned from the dead, and has been using them to capture mutants she could hand over to General Callahan and the O.N.E. Nevertheless, last issue, Emma released the mindblock and called on Scott for a rescue… and[...]

But Legion isn't going to go quietly… And our recently awakened X-Men will need to somehow make it through an army of Legion's Cobra Commander helmet prison guards, who aren't above a little brutality.

Silva to relaunch the X-Men But it seems that Hickman views the job as a massive undertaking, as he took to Twitter Monday to refer to X-Men continuity as "some nonsense." "There are no rules here," Hickman said of the continuity of the greatest franchise in comics history "There is no order Just random unconnected gibberish." https://twitter.com/JHickman/status/1143338485321031680 Hickman's[...]

What is the point of meticulously recapping the events of a bloated line of X-Men comics when the whole line is going to be relaunched in less than a month? That's a very good question The Hickboot approaches with House of X #1 on July 24th, and along with it, X-ual Healing: The Weekly X-Men[...]

The Age of X-Man is wrapping up to make way for Jonathan Hickman's line-wide X-Men reboot, and this preview of next week's X-Tremists #5 shows that the proverbial s*** is about to hit the proverbial fan… even more than it already did at the end of last issue The preview opens with a flashback to[...]

X-Men: The Seminal Moments, the documentary web series Marvel has been posting on YouTube in advance of Jonathan Hickman's line-wide X-Men relaunch, has reached its final chapter And rather than looking back at the titular seminal moments of the past, this one looks to the future: to the upcoming release of House of X and[...]
