Way back in the days of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee’s X-Men and Rob Liefeld on New Mutants there was the X-Tinction Agenda.

Imagine the mutants versus an entire nation of hate that enslaved mutants led by a cyborg monster.

The united X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants defeated Cameron Hodge and the forces of Genosha but the fight went a different way as we’ll see in a  Secret Wars: Warzones tie-in book.

Marvel announced X-Tinction Agenda by Arrow Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim and artist Carmine di Giandomenico this June. Continue reading X-MEN vs X-MEN in X-TINCTION AGENDA

Avengers and X-Men: AXIS is now history but sets the stage for a fascinating future for some of the iconic heroes and villains.

Avengers and X-Men: AXIS begins this week. Alex Summers could be a pivotal hero in the war against the new Onslaught.

 

Rick Remender took Havok from back burner X-Man to leader of the Avengers Unity Squad two years ago in Uncanny Avengers. Now Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Children of the Atom are united against the power of the Red Skull.

 

Alex and Janet Van Dyne shared a love and a daughter in an alternate world that was sacrificed to defeat Kang the Conqueror and reset reality. Will that loss lead to Havok joining the Red Skull?

This year I may actually go out as a superhero for Halloween and this would be a test run for Emerald City Comicon 2015. Continue reading HAVOK HALLOWEEN
