The All-New Inhumans are coming. Hints of Marvel’s next big crossover event are being dropped. Are armies of Inhumans and X-Men assembling for what might be a genetic war in 2016?

Crystal will take command of a new squad in a book by Charles Soule, James Asmus and Stefano Caselli. This “sister” book starring Queen Medusa’s sister is part of making the outsiders an even bigger part of the new Marvel.

Asmus teased that this book will sow seeds for some huge events (like a Gene War?) coming up. Continue reading X-MEN VS INHUMANS?

Magneto’s Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn is a real rogue’s gallery….literally.

The Master of Magnetism is leading Mystique, Sabretooth, Fantomex and Psylocke as more threatening X-Men are needed for bigger threats…to borrow from the Marvel promo team!

Bunn has a track record of villains as leading men (Magneto, Sinestro, Deadpool) but how did he assemble this new team: Continue reading MAGNETO’S X-MEN & MYSTERY MEMBER

Things goes from bad to worse for the X-Men when the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now launches.

While Storm leads Extraordinary X-Men, Magneto leads an Uncanny squad with Mystique, Sabretooth, Fantomex and Psylocke.

Writer Cullen Bunn (Magneto, Deadpool) revealed more details about the team’s mission, base and future: Continue reading MAGNETO’S X-MEN Preview

Young mutants on the run and rebelling against the X-Men?

In Once and Future Mutants we pondered the fate of the most current class of mutants students (Tempus, Triage, Goldballs, Hijack and Morph) and past “new” mutants that didn’t make it to front burner fandom.

With Marvel‘s November previews we know one Generation Hope graduate and a Jean Grey School alum are officially part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now this Fall.

Oya and Evan is on the run with the All-New X-Men (young Iceman, Beast, Angel and X-23) in issue three.

Idie and Evan may wish they stayed back at the Jean Grey School…if it’s still around. Continue reading ALL-NEW X-MEN On The Run
