Brian Michael Bendis is wrapping up his Uncanny X-Men, All-New X-Men run. The fan-favorite writer confirmed his final issue, Uncanny X-Men #600, will be delayed until October after Secret Wars.

This milestone issue will be his final word on classic and new mutants he created. Bendis inherited “broken” super couple Scott Summers and Emma Frost after the tragic events of Avengers vs. X-Men. Cyclops and Frost broke up and their powers were broken.

Cyclops and the Phoenix are far from over as you can see in the pages of Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman.

What does Bendis have to say about where he’s taken Scott and Emma on his X-run? Continue reading CYCLOPS & EMMA FROST BROKEN By BENDIS

Fans will have to wait until after Secret Wars for the finale of the Brian Michael Bendis X-Men era.

The writer confirmed via Tumblr that Uncanny X-Men #600 will not ship until October.

“…it was bumped until after secret wars for editorial and commercial reasons. not my call. this was marvel. but they have their reasons.”

“it will not effect the story or the impact of the story. in fact it may have more impact on how things shake out after my run.”

It was originally scheduled for this week.

Uncanny X-Men #34 arrives Wednesday with issue 35 “right behind.” Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN #600 Delayed Until After SECRET WARS

One of the biggest surprises of the year in comics so far is the coming out of original X-Man Bobby Drake. Or was he forced out?

Bobby Drake was called out by Jean Grey in All-New X-Men #40. The teen telepath saw the truth in young Iceman’s mind.

Justified or invasion of privacy?

Right or wrong?

What does writer Brian Michael Bendis say about the story now that some time has passed and how will it impact the final issues of his X-Men run? Continue reading BENDIS On Outing ICEMAN

As we tick closer to the finale of the Brian Michael Bendis X-Men run we may have a clue about the future of the franchise.

We need a sign.

Editor in Chief Axel Alonso assured readers the X-Men will be around but what does that future look like?

Bendis is leaving after the milestone Uncanny X-Men #600.

Executive Editor (in charge of the X-Men & Guardians books) Mike Marts announced his departure from Marvel last week.

Marvel has teased the All-New, All-Different Avengers and Uncanny Inhumans for Free Comic Book Day but there’s been no hint of what’s next for the mutants after Secret Wars or who will be writing any X-books. Continue reading X-MEN, UTOPIANS & FUTURE OF MARVEL MUTANTS

A brand new Guardians of the Galaxy book that may feel like blast from the past.

Guardians writer Brian Michael Bendis launches Guardians Team-Up with legendary artist Arthur Adams this week.

Bendis is acclaimed for his Avengers run. This is an opportunity to revisit a very different Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

“Actually one of the reasons I made this choice was the [current] Avengers don’t resemble my era Avengers, if I’m going to refer to them that way, at all. I thought “that’s fun, let’s do that.” Continue reading AVENGERS Revisited In GUARDIANS TEAM-UP

Brian Michael Bendis announced he will leave the X-Men franchise with Uncanny X-Men #600 this May leaving X-fans to wonder who will take over the Children of the Atom after Secret Wars?

Yes, we firmly still believe Marvel is not cancelling the X-Men.

With the Universe changing events of Secret Wars it’s a perfect time for change much like after Avengers vs. X-Men.

Who might be the next writer to pen, “To Me, My X-Men!” as the lead of the flagship X-books?

Let’s examine potential candidates: Continue reading Who Will Write X-MEN After BENDIS & SECRET WARS?

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
