Things get even worse for the X-Men following Secret Wars including a cold war with the Inhumans.

Extraordinary X-Men by Jeff Lemire will be the new flagship book while long-running Uncanny X-Men goes in a bold new direction.

You noticed there’s no X-Force on the list of new books this fall. With a team including Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, Fantomex and Psylocke – Uncanny X-Men is the force enemies of mutants will have to reckon with.

Cullen Bunn (Magneto) and veteran X-Men artist Greg Land will be the creative team.

Marvel Editor-In-Chief explained the shift for the longest-running X-title: Continue reading NEW UNCANNY X-MEN “More Hardcore Than X-Force”

JEFF LEMIRE’s EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN Team

The Children of Atom will evolve with new challenges and opportunities in the wake of Secret Wars.

Marvel chose Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos to lead the next evolution of the X-Men.

The new flagship X-book comes with a new adjective.

Lemire reveals how he picked the roster for his “Extraordinary” X-Men team:

“For me, the biggest challenge was limiting the number of X-Men on the team. There are so many great X-characters; it was honestly very difficult to narrow it down to a manageable size. Continue reading JEFF LEMIRE’s EXTRAORDINARY X-MEN Team

This is Magneto and his New X-Men courtesy Marvel.

One of the most radical reinventions of the Children of the Atom is born again in as the Secret Wars event continues this week.

X-Men in black leather, Professor X’s evil twin sister “outed” him, Emma Frost joined the team, Beast went feline and kids with some of the weirdest mutations and appearances join the school.

It was the New X-Men era by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely. E is for Extinction was the first game-changing arc (Cassandra Nova emerges and kills millions of mutants on Genosha) and the title of the new Secret Wars tie-in book this week. Continue reading MAGNETO’S NEW X-MEN In E IS FOR EXTINCTION

Making MAGIK in X-MEN by BENDIS

I confess.

I did NOT like Illyana Rasputin.

Magik has one of the most complicated origin stories in comics. She went from little girl to teen demon sorceress in an instant then a child again, then died, then resurrected with an evil persona. A confusing back story paired with just plain vicious treatment of fellow mutants made her unlikeable.

There’s cold and cool like Emma Frost and then there’s just cruel like Illyana’s treatment of her big brother Colossus.

Cyclops, Emma, Magneto and Magik were the central cast of Uncanny X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis. The broken powers of each character led to vulnerability for each powerhouse – that made them more compelling than ever.

As we experience the final chapters of the Bendis run it’s time to look back and give credit where it’s due. Continue reading Making MAGIK in X-MEN by BENDIS

X-MEN of Every Era Face X-TINCTION

A classic X-Men battle is revisited in the latest Secret Wars Battleworld book. Remember when Genosha was a technological powerhouse built on the backs of mutant slave labor?

The X-Men brought them down but payback was in store as several villains banded together.

The X-Men clashed with the island nation one final time near the end of the classic runs by Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson. X-Men and New Mutants from every era were caught in the international intrigue as cyborg Cameron Hodge and Genosha unleashed their X-Tinction Agenda against the mutant heroes.

Arrow Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim used the original crossover as inspiration for a new take starting this week in X-Tinction Agenda #1. Continue reading X-MEN of Every Era Face X-TINCTION
