Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo relaunch Uncanny X-Men this week.

At one point I thought Scott would be on the road to redemption but now we know Cyclops is not trying to make up for his actions in Avengers vs. X-Men. The new mutant population boom has the fallen leader inspired to save his race – by any means necessary. Magneto, Emma Frost and Magik join Scott on his missions to recruit young mutants and protect them from a world that fears and hates them.

“You will discover in the very first issue of ALL-NEW X-MEN exactly where Scott Summers’ head is at. Of all the X-Men that feel it is their job to further the legacy of Charles Xavier, no one feels it more strongly than Scott Summers,” Bendis told Marvel.com.

“Scott Summers himself is not only trying to save these kids but he is trying to train them and Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN Revolution Begins!

Get ready for a savage rematch! Wolverine made his Marvel debut back in Incredible Hulk #181. The Green Goliath and feral mutant have crossed paths over the years.

Frank Cho unleashes the beasts in Savage Wolverine #5. So far Logan has been speared by Shanna the She-Devil in his Savage Land exploits but this May the Hulk smashes his way into the X-Man’s adventure.

“Frank’s art and storytelling set this fight apart more than anything else. This was one of the first sequences he wrote when we were first talking about the issue, so there are some specific moments he’s thought out that I think fans are going to love,” said editor Jeanine Schaefer on Marvel.com.

“Honestly, working with Frank is such a blast. He has a total vision Continue reading HULK SMASH WOLVERINE!

New Mutants of Uncanny X-Men

Creating new mutants is hard. For every Gambit, there’s a Maggot. Brian Michael Bendis took on the challenge of writing the X-Men just when the mutant race is booming again with new mutants.

Cyclops, Magneto, Emma Frost and Magik have been recruiting new Children of the Atom for his revolution in All-New X-Men. We’ve met healer Christopher Muse, time manipulator Eva Bell and shape-changer Benjamin Deeds. The teens are now at the covert Charles Xavier School.

Ahead of next week’s Uncanny X-Men #1 Bendis talked about the new recruits on Marvel.com. Eva, Benjamin and Christopher’s lives have suddenly changed but they’ll be looking back.

“They’ll be doing that right away. “Can I go get my stuff? Can I go talk to my mom?” A lot of Australians seem to be very happy that Eva’s from Australia. I wasn’t aware that there was such a dearth of Australian heroes. I got so much happy mail and tweets from Australian people. We will be going back to the Gold Coast in issues #2 and #3 of UNCANNY X-MEN to find out what the deal with Eva is. I like Eva a lot. I like writing her a lot. For people who liked Jessica Jones and Maria Hill, I think they’re going to get a kick Continue reading New Mutants of Uncanny X-Men

Uncanny X-Men’s Emma Frost

Emma Frost is the best thing to happen to Scott Summers. Yes, I said it. That doesn’t mean I don’t love Jean Grey. I loved the Scott/Emma relationship but the power couple is out of love but still allied to save the mutant race.

In the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men Emma has lost her great love, her powers are chaotic and she’s been branded a villain again. Brian Michael Bendis teases what’s next for the former White Queen in his upcoming Uncanny X-Men.

  “The Emma Frost thing is very interesting. This is the most controversial character amongst all X-fans. This is really fascinating. Avengers fans never did this to me, but every X-Men fan does. When they want to show me something about a character, they come at me with a visual aid. They cut out a panel or a page and either e-mail it to me or post it on my Twitter. It’s like they’re a lawyer with evidence. You would think that Daredevil fans would Continue reading Uncanny X-Men’s Emma Frost
