Friday Flashback X-Men Ladies Night

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

Big Changes, Big Villains for All-Female X-MEN

The all-female X-Men squad faces a powerhouse new Sisterhood of Mutants in the next arc by writer Brian Wood. A redesigned Lady Deathstrike leads a new alliance of evil against the women in two back to back arcs: Muertas (with artist Terry Dodson) and Ghosts with artist Kris Anka.

In the aftermath of Battle of the Atom – one team member has switched sides, another has seen her future. Wood tells Marvel.com how that plays out in his series: Continue reading Big Changes, Big Villains for All-Female X-MEN

X-MEN #4 Celebrates the Past and Future

X-Men #4 by Terry Dodson courtesy Marvel

X-Men #4 is one of those “in-between” issues. It’s the aftermath of Primer, Brian Wood’s stunning first arc with Olivier Coipel and the prelude to Battle of the Atom which will tie into the other main X-books. This stand-alone issue may be seen as a time moment to catch your breath but it’s a wonderful chapter of character development and drama demonstrating why we love the mutants.

Jubilee is a crossroads. The mutant turned vampire is adopting the mysterious orphan from the first arc as her own son. Wolverine joins Jubilation Lee on a journey into the past as she decides on her future. Brian Wood takes us back to the very place where we first met Jubilee (then a spunky mall rat) and she first met the Children of the Atom. Continue reading X-MEN #4 Celebrates the Past and Future

Jubilee and Son in X-MEN

The Women of the Atom are starring in the breakout new book of summer! Jubilee’s return (with baby boy in tow) led to a brand new villain and adventure in X-Men. The enemy is so fearsome even Sublime sought refuge among the mutants he once fought. Brian Wood answered fan questions about the hit series including the mutant turned vampire Jubilee’s role on the team.

“Yeah, I know there’s been some talk about how maybe Jubilee isn’t a vampire any longer, or that I’m ignoring it because she hasn’t displayed any of those traits in an overt way, but she will. Continue reading Jubilee and Son in X-MEN

Villain’s Return in X-MEN #1

The Women of the Atom star in a new X-Men #1 by Brian Wood this week. Jubilee, Storm, Psylocke, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, and Rachel Grey face an evil blast from the recent past.

Brian Wood told Comic Book Resources why Sublime (from the Grant Morrison New X-Men era) turns to the mutants for help:

“Without giving too much away, Sublime surrenders to the X-Men because he has a serious problem of his own that he can’t handle, and the X-Men, being his most formidable opponents, are his best source for help. We get right into that, as he walks onto the grounds of the Jean Grey School and surrenders to Rachel and Psylocke.

Elsewhere, the others are picking up Jubilee who calls in a panic, having Continue reading Villain’s Return in X-MEN #1

X-Men #1 by Terry Dodson courtesy Marvel

The WOMEN of the Children of the Atom star in the latest Marvel Now X-book! Brian Wood left the (adjectiveless) X-Men book a months ago after a thrilling arc with Storm leading Psylocke, Domino, Colossus and Pixie I called a potent mix of Torchwood and X-Men.

This week – Wood is back with a brand new X-Men #1 with art by Olivier Coipel. The new book has an all-female cast: Jubilee, Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Kitty Pryde and Rachel Grey. Wood told Comics Newsarama why the new book features an all X-Women cast:

“It’s impossible to say what’s going to happen way down the road, but there has been zero talk of changing the lineup to include a male character, not from my editor on up the chain of command to [Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso]. But while the core cast of the book is these six women, this is not a title designed to be devoid of all men. I’m sure they’ll be some appearing as guests in arcs as needed… it would be sort of boring without it, and sort of a waste of chances for good character moments.
