We already know that Jonathan Hickman will be making some big changes to the X-Men with his upcoming line-wide relaunch kicking off in July with House of X and Powers of X, but nobody could have possibly considered those changes would be so X-Treme However, in a new teaser posted to Marvel's Twitter account, the[...]

Despite Hugh Jackman's retirement from playing Wovlerine for the Fox X-Men Cinematic Universe, Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg had his own reason not to include him in the film. Jackman played the role since 2000's X-Men, making eight more appearances until 2017's Logan, which only excludes the two Deadpool films Dark Phoenix will be the first[...]

Welcome to X-ual Healing, the column where we read every X-Men comic that came out last week and tell you what happened in them! Let's jump right into it this week… Sworn to sell comics for Marvel executives who feared and hated the fact that Fox owned their movie rights, The Uncanny X-Men suffered great indignities, but with[...]

Power-mad Marvel X-Editor Jordan White returned from his two-week break to hold court at Adventures in Poor Taste for X-Men Monday today, and though AIPT's Chris Hassan was once again afraid to ask when Chris Claremont will be allowed to write an ongoing series, he did supply White with a question that allowed him to[...]

Yes, we know, we're bagging a lot on Dark Phoenix before even seeing it, and it's partially because we're not getting big giant parts of the celestial being's story.  Things like….Lilandra and the Shi'ar (although we may still be getting the Shi'ar?) and the other big one- The Hellfire Club. We were of course, semi-hoping that Jessica[...]

Before Jonathan Hickman's big X-Men relaunch was the talk of the internet, another X-Men comic book was reinventing the objectively best franchise in comics at Marvel Of course, we're talking about Major X, the six-issue mini-series first imagined by Rob Liefeld back in the 1990s which sees the titular Major X travel back in time[...]

Earlier today, we took a look at  7 new variant covers unveiled by Marvel for House of X #1, including a hidden gem variant reusing an old Dave Cockrum rejected cover which was later reprinted as a black and white pin-up in 1982's Special Edition X-Men, and then later used as a color cover for[...]

There isn't a gif accurate enough to fully express the deep sigh and headshake we had to do in seeing the newest bit of promotional material for Dark Phoenix, the last of the 20th Century Fox-made X-Men films. On the surface, it's fine, and it fits the theme of the previous films A year book video, featuring the[...]

I'd read reprints of stories in the Marvel UK editions, of course, usually black-and-white, often reprinting runs from the 60s, but I found X-Men #201 distributed on the UK newsstand in a newsagent in Pontefract, West Yorkshire opposite the bus station called The Kiosk I wonder… Bloody hell, it's still there. The smaller size, the colour, the[...]

Silva) will kick off a brand new era of X-Men, as the entire X-line is canceled, to be followed up by a new line of books, with Hickman writing the flagship title But with some of the imagery we've seen so far, some have wondered whether these series will take place in mainstream Marvel continuity[...]

Episodes 1-3 will be available beginning[...]

This preview of the issue shows us, as Dani Moonstar leads a team of X-Men in facing off against the invading hordes of Malekith in New York City, as Multiple[...]

X is ending soon to make way for Jonathan Hickman's fancy-pants X-Men reboot Many are excited about it, but maybe there are some people who aren't really interested in the third X-Men relaunch in a year's span, and some who perhaps don't want a 150-issue intellectual X-epic that requires new charts and symbols each issue[...]

There's a lot of reasons to hate Wolverine, at least for the last decade or two. Marvel's number one Mary Sue, Wolverine is overpowered and overexposed,

In the world of Age of X-Man, Nightcrawler is a fancy Hollywood movie star, an idle of millions. But in this preview of Age of X-Man: Amazing Nightcrawler

This week, we finally got official confirmation from Marvel that Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X would be the start of a line-wide X-Men relaunch, with any remaining X-books including Uncanny X-Men and X-Force ending in July to make way for Hickman's "new era" of the X-Men, in which Hickman will write[...]

It seems like just last year when we were all getting ready for the big relaunch of Uncanny X-Men Actually, that's because it was just last year November, in fact, less than six months ago, is when Matthew Rosenberg, alongside Kelly Thompson, Ed Brisson, and artists Mahmud Asrar, R.B Silva, Yildiray Cinar, Mahmud Asrar, Mark[...]

Earlier today, we learned the not-so-shocking news that Jonathan Hickman's upcoming House of X and Powers of X mini-series would lead into a full line-wide relaunch of the X-Men, with Hickman writing the flagship X-Men title after that As to why it was "not-so-shocking," well, first of all we already noticed that it looked like[...]

But on the bright side, there are no Al Ewings involved. The object of this column is simple: I read last week's X-Men books and tell you what happened No fancy reviews, no critical insight Think of it like a Game of Thrones recap, but with less bitching about how the showrunners have ruined George R[...]

Emma Frost has been an important character in the X-Men Universe for decades, but other than the X-Men: Black one-shot from last year, it's been a while since she's been the center of her own series Frost was the topic of today's X-Men Monday column at Adventures in Poor Taste, and while she did apparently[...]
