Kitty Pryde, Magik, the Stepford Cuckoos and Tempus just want to have fun, be human and not just mutants training or fighting the next big enemy. It doesn’t take much to convince Emma Frost to get approval for a Girls Night Out. The X-Women are soon caught up in Inhumanity as their London shopping excursion is interrupted by the birth of a new Inhuman.

 

Inspired by the wonderful Uncanny X-Men #15 this week by Brian Michael Bendis and guest artist Kris Anka I want to Friday Flashback to a classic and humorous issue with a similar X-Men “Girls Night Out” theme. Continue reading Friday Flashback X-Men Ladies Night

The revolution continues in this week’s Uncanny X-Men #3 as Cyclops attempts to recruit more new mutants while a traitor works against him.  Take a look at new art from Chris Bachalo courtesy Marvel.  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. Bachalo’s creative synergy with the Children of the Atom continues with this new series.

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!

UNCANNY X-MEN Burning Questions Updated!

  Uncanny X-Men #1 is out and we know the identity of the X-traitor (no spoilers here) so I thought it was a good time to revisit my burning questions!

Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo launched Cyclops’s revolution in a brand new Uncanny X-Men. It’s not quite the Avenging X-Men concept I predicted but this is Xavier’s dream with a darker edge.

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!
