The youngest X-Men are breaking away from the old guard when the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now begins.

While Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men are fighting a new threat that’s killing mutants, the All-New X-Men are on the road trying to be heroes.

The “new” All-New X-Men by Dennis Hopeless and Mark Bagley are the time-lost young Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman with Oya, Evan Genesis and Laura Kinney (the former X-23 and new Wolverine.)

Beast is joining the Uncanny Inhumans.

Hank McCoy is the second non-Inhuman to join the cast of the upcoming book. Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four is joining the team and he’s in love with Medusa.

We don’t know the fate of the X-Men or the new creative team until Uncanny X-Men #600 hits after Secret Wars. The milestone and final issue by Brian Michael Bendis is “The Trial of Hank McCoy” in which he may face the repercussions for bringing the X-Men of the past into the present.

Now we know this founding X-Man will survive. Uncanny Inhumans writer Charles Soule says to expect a “cold war” between Inhumans and mutants but “things have gone very wrong somehow” explains the Beast’s role in the new book: Continue reading BEAST Joins UNCANNY INHUMANS

WHO DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE?

As we build up until the final weeks of Avengers, New Avengers, the start of Secret Wars and the end of the Marvel Universe we’re watching for clues and signs.

Who caused the death of the Marvel Universe?

Jonathan Hickman’s epic Avengers run began with incursions from other Earths threatening to destroy ours. When heroes fail the Marvel Universe will be destroyed and only Battleworld remains as Secret Wars rage.

But what started the incursions?

We could have seen a big blatant clue in Guardians Team-Up #3 by Sam Humphries this week. This issue is a Chapter Six of the Black Vortex crossover between Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men but two words send my mind reeling. Continue reading WHO DESTROYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE?

BENDIS on BEAST, CYCLOPS in X-MEN final issues

Brian Michael Bendis is leaving the X-Men franchise but staying a Marvel exclusive so fans are waiting to see what he will do next.

Before the milestone Uncanny X-Men #600 (the final issue of the Bendis run) the mutants have to survive The Black Vortex crossover and the shocking time twists of The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier.

We don’t want to spoil the current issues but if you’ve been reading it seems Cyclops is paying for his actions in Avengers vs. X-Men when he killed the Professor X.

“Issue #31 is going to be the issue that rattles people before we get to #600. Continue reading BENDIS on BEAST, CYCLOPS in X-MEN final issues

What’s Cyclops doing on the cover of Avengers #38?

What until see inside!

The X-Men Revolution leader is the wild card in the latest chapter of Time Runs Out set in the near future before Secret Wars.

But with writer Jonathan Hickman there are no wild cards in his elaborately plotted epic that began with Avengers World and building up the comics event of 2015.

While the Avengers been battling the Builders, Thanos and A.I.M. – the Illuminati (Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Black Bolt, Beast, Namor) have committed unheroic acts (brainwashed Steve Rogers, destroy other planets) to save Earth from incusions from other Earths in the Marvel multiverse. The action jumped into near future with heroes vs. heroes, unholy alliances and an array of classic Marvel weapons like the Ultimate Nullifier.
