Emma Frost is showcased on the cover of this week’s Uncanny X-Men #2. Writer 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 Emma Frost, Sentinels and the Traitor!

Have you recovered from the shocker at the end of Uncanny X-Men #1? Marvel isn’t letting up and delivered these spectacular pages from Uncanny X-Men #3! Chris Bachalo’s mutant power must be his uncanny ability to make X-Men look absolutely bad-ass!

Bachalo co-created some of the Generation X kids, the darker X-Men of the Age of Apocalypse, the “rogue” squad of X-Men led by Rogue during Mike Carey’s run and helped launch Wolverine and the X-Men with Jason Aaron.

Uncanny X-Men #3 focuses on Magneto and the corruption of his powers. Can Erik prove he’s still the Master of Magnetism when it counts? Magneto led the Age of Apocalypse version of the X-Men (drawn by Bachalo) and the artist evolves Erik’s look again.

Scott and Emma are paying a price for their actions in Avengers vs. X-Men.

New mutants are emerging around the globe. Three have been recruited by Scott.

Scott has established the Charles Xavier School inside the old Weapon X facility.

There’s so much intrigue and promise ahead! Here are some burning questions about Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN Burning Questions Updated!

It’s Uncanny X-Men #1 launch day!

Cyclops, Magneto, Emma Frost and Magik are recruiting new mutants for the revolution. Marvel made it very clear in this teaser image by Chris Bachalo – there’s a TRAITOR in the new team/book!

This image shows the heavy hitters plus brand new characters. The question is not just “who is the traitor?” but who is the traitor working for?

Let’s the TRAITOR theories begin:

X1 It’s possible Wolverine allowed Cyke to “recruit” one of the new kids to his side to get the inside track on the rival X-Men.

X2 Could the traitor be working for Continue reading Who Is the X-Men Traitor?
