Welcome to X-ual Healing, the most popular weekly X-Men recap column on all of Bleeding Cool If you're new to the column, the basic idea is that we read and recap every X-Men comic that comes out each week, make some jokes, and complain about how Marvel is mean to Cyclops or won't let Chris[...]

Continuing to defy the wishes of fans, Marvel refused to announce an ongoing X-Men comic by legendary writer Chris Claremont at New York Comic Con Sunday The publisher held its X-Men panel, the most important panel of the convention, without mentioning Claremont once until the very last question in the Q&A session, asked by Bleeding[...]

At the New York Comic Con X-Men panel Sunday, Marvel responded to claims made by superstar artist Rob Liefeld that with the looming merger between Fox and Disney, and thus the return of the X-Men movie rights to the House of Ideas, Marvel was finally allowed to raise the X-Men comic book budget, including by[...]

We've seen the teaser poster for Age of X-Men, coming to Uncanny X-Men after the first weekly X-Men Disassembled arc We've learned of the Age of X-Man Alpha one-shot by Zac Thompson, Lonnie Nadler, and Ramon Rosanas coming in January to kick it all off And all the while, we've assumed this is about Nate[...]

At the New York Comic Con X-Men panel Sunday, the rising star writing duo of Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler had a bold proclamation for X-men fans: they're going to ruin Apocalypse.

Another superstar artist has weighed in on the great "feet or no feet" debate, a war for the soul of comics art being waged on the battlefield of variants for Uncanny X-Men In his newly announced variant cover, Scott Williams had the opportunity to draw 18 feet on 9 characters, but only ended up drawing[...]

Simon Kinberg as a lot on his plate right now, more than normal for the X-Men producer who by this time next year will have had his directorial debut released with Dark Phoenix That doesn't mean he's not focused on additional properties upcoming within the X-Men franchise, however. Namely, the status of the much maligned Gambit solo film project,[...]

When you see the number of characters and amount of detail in this Uncanny X-Men #1 variant, you might be tempted to believe Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada actually took some time out of his busy Twitter schedule to draw a cover for the upcoming relaunch As it turns out, Joe, a smart, forward-looking[...]

It would appear that the second date pushback for 20th Century Fox's Dark Phoenix isn't cause for panic, so says first-time director Simon Kinberg. He very calmly and purposely explained to our friends over at Collider how the second release date (remember originally this film was set to open in November of 2018, when it still had "X-Men"[...]

Shatterstar is getting his own solo series, launching this week, which means the Liefeldian character can finally get back to doing what he does best...

Oh Professor Xavier! It seems the X-Men founder's storyline is a nonstop cycle of death (or faked death) followed by returns only to die (or fake his death) again Most recently, Xavier returned in Astonishing X-Men by commandeering the body of Fantomex and remaking it in his own image (ew) But in What If? X-Men,[...]

And in a[...]

Mustache-twirling Marvel X-Editor Jordan White took to Twitter to celebrate the weekly international holiday of X-Men Monday this week, and he had a major admission to make Despite Marvel's best efforts to turn him into a villain before killing him off and replacing him with his time-displaced teenage counterpart who will also soon be killed[...]

First, disrespected by that no-good Wolverine in the X-Men Schism, lectured for putting children in danger to save mutantkind despite Wolverine's own predilection for literally murdering his own children, not to mention anyone else who gets in the way of his adamantium claws whenever the berserker mood takes him Then Wolverine gets his own book[...]

We already wrote about how Rob will be involved in a "huge X-Men crossover" in 2019, so let's just see what he's talking about on Twitter today. I've thought a lot about the Fox era of Marvel films, 15 films total I'm looking over much of the pluses & minuses along the way In short, as[...]

Continuing their tradition of exploiting celebrating nostalgia to boost comics sales, Marvel has revealed the Dave Cockrum Hidden Gem variant cover for Uncanny X-Men #1, using what appears to be a 1980 house ad by the legendary artist.

Marvel has revealed superstar artist Jen Bartel's variant cover for November's Uncanny X-Men #1, and unlike previous Uncanny X-Men covers we've seen, this variant cover can speak with a British accent No, wait, sorry, got our signals crossed there The big difference is this variant cover actually has a background And feet!
