Marvel announced Luke Mitchell (The Tomorrow People, Home and Away) will join the series as Lincoln, a charismatic Inhuman “who has an important role to play in Skye understanding the true extent of her transformation.”
“With the revelations surrounding Skye’s true identity in the Winter Finale, we knew we’d be introducing more Inhumans as our story progressed,” said Executive Producer and Marvel’s Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “The charming energy Luke brings to the role that will make him a character to watch as we continue our season.” Continue reading New INHUMAN On MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD
Before the milestone Uncanny X-Men #600 (the final issue of the Bendis run) the mutants have to survive The Black Vortex crossover and the shocking time twists of The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier.
We don’t want to spoil the current issues but if you’ve been reading it seems Cyclops is paying for his actions in Avengers vs. X-Men when he killed the Professor X.
#StarKat is not a new mutant but the online moniker from Twitter fans of the Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde coupling.
Peter Quill and Kitty’s long-distance relationship is up close and dangerous as The Black Vortex begins this week.
When an ancient artifact with a monstrous power emerges, Kitty and Quill try to steal it before the villainous Mister Knife and Thane can seize it. The cosmic crisis will include the Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, Captain Marvel and Nova.
The current Guardians of the Galaxy writer is launching a Guardians Team-Up book. Both titles will tie into the just launched Black Vortex crossover with All-New X-Men.
Bendis is reuniting with this original Ultimate Spider-Man artist Mark Bagely for Ultimate End, the final Ultimate Universe story.
All these stories come just before the big Secret Wars event where the Marvel and Ultimate Universes are destroyed and there is only Battleworld.
After acclaimed runs on Avengers, Daredevil, X-Men and Ultimate Spider-Man, which Marvel heroes will he take on next?
Marvel announced a new Secret Wars tie-in series set in Battleworld.
Secret Wars Journal will be an anthology series with a wide variety of tales set in the new reality.
“We’ve got a few crazy twists on some old favorites, but we’ve also got some real fun explorations of some of the zanier corners of the Marvel Universe as well,” Editor Jake Thomas teased on Marvel.com. “We’ve got a fun riff on Millie the Model that made me laugh when we pitched it and tear up when I read the outline. We’ve got a Night Nurse—You heard me right, kids! Night Nurse!—story that is going to be killer, an intense X-Men story, a completely bonkers Misty Knight and Paladin tale. Honestly, there are times I can’t believe I’m getting away with this stuff.” Continue reading SECRET WARS JOURNAL
Uncanny X-Men #600 courtesy Marvel, a Comic Book Resources Exclusive First
After making and changing mutant history Brian Michael Bendis announced he’s leaving the X-Men with a giant-sized Uncanny X-Men #600.
Bendis brought the original students of Xavier into the present in All-New X-Men and Cyclops started a revolution in Uncanny X-Men.
As the Children of the Atom feel the fallout from Professor X’s greatest secret – Bendis will exit just before Secret Wars.
The acclaimed writer explains why this was the time to leave:
“Over the course of the last few years, I will have written almost 90 issues of X-Men. That’s a good run! One of the best parts about being on X-Men was that I knew I was never going to hit Chris Claremont’s X-Men record, so I was free of whatever that is that drives such a thing,” Bendis exclusively told Comic Book Resources.

As we celebrate Black History Month we’re inspired to salute African-American superheroes and update fans on their status in their comic book universes.
With Anthony Mackie’s breakout performance as Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Chadwick Boseman (42) cast as Black Panther and the return of Milestone Media with new and returning heroes – a lot has happened in a year.
Fictional superheroes are not as critical as real civil rights leaders, scientists, boundary breaking athletes and artists but it’s important to celebrate diversity in comic books. Most of these black characters were created by white males but we hope by recognizing these characters it might inspire new writers, artists and editors of all backgrounds to push for new voices and greater diversity in making comics and inside comics.
