Happy Birthday X-MEN

It’s the 50th Anniversary of the Children of the Atom. The X-Men mean so much to so many fans. Uncanny X-Men #116 was my first comic book and I’ve been addicted ever since. And on my birthday this new comic book Wednesday I get to enjoy X-Men: Gold #1 which includes a brand new story by Chris Claremont, the gifted writer who crafted that first comic book and guided the mutants to greatness for more than a decade.

“Over the last 50 years, the X-Men have changed people’s lives, myself included.” Says X-Men Senior Editor Nick Lowe told Marvel.com.

“Through Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Kitty Pryde and the rest of the X-Men, the creators of these merry mutants taught us that it’s not only okay to be different, but that difference is to be celebrated! To honor the characters and the creators we wanted to do something special…hence X-MEN: GOLD!” Continue reading Happy Birthday X-MEN

“I can’t tell you too much because the story is somewhat of a mystery,” Revel tells Marvel.com. “Or rather each of these two young girls [is a mystery]. I knew coming in that I wanted to invent some new characters that were blank slates and didn’t have immense histories from living in the Marvel Universe for 50 years.

But death never stopped the return of a fan-favorite hero!

Jason Aaron takes on a second X-book to go in search of Nightcrawler in Amazing X-Men #1. Continue reading AMAZING X-MEN Return of Nightcrawler
