An Uncanny X-Men double feature packed with twists, surprises and Easter eggs to make X-fans giddy.

When Magneto’s Uncanny X-Men emerged in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now, Warren was Archangel once again. Warren was a void, a weapon to be unleashed, turned off and on by former lover Psylocke.

The secrets of Archangel were revealed as Magneto’s squad (Psylocke, Sabretooth, Monet and possibly Mystique and Fantomex*) entered Apocalypse Wars. Continue reading ARCHANGEL Twist in X-MEN APOCALYPSE WARS

A double blast from the past in this week’s Uncanny X-Men #3 plus a big new revelation about an X-Man’s allegiance and the mystery villains in Cullen Bunn’s first arc.

Terrigen Mists are creeping across the planet making mutants sick, infertile and dead. Magneto recruited a ruthless squadron of mutants to investigate a corporation profiting from the crisis. The Dark Riders are back and killing mutant healers. Bunn revealed a new Hellfire Club is waiting in the wings but are they pulling the strings of two rogue X-Men?

The hunt for answers and to protect the healers leads to the return of two X-Men of the recent and distant past. We knew Fantomex was joining the cast of the series but not in the way you might have expected. Continue reading UNCANNY X-MEN COMEBACKS & MYSTERY MASTERS

Mystique is tied to one of the big new mysteries in Cullen Bunn’s new Uncanny X-Men series.

We may have been given a huge clue in this week’s second issue.

Terrigen Mists are killing mutants and sterilizing genes. The mutant race is on the fast track to extinction thanks to the genetic phenomenon that’s creating new Inhumans.

Storm’s team is rescuing mutants from the Mists and providing them safety in X-Haven. Magneto is leading his own team with a very pro-active mission to save mutants from new enemies.

A corporation is profiting from the crisis by providing a different kind of safe haven to mutants for a price. Mutants agree to be frozen in suspended animation until there’s a cure or the Terrigen is gone.

Magneto’s team broke the mutants out of of the transports while Mystique is investigating the Someday corporation in a different way…but who is she working for? Continue reading MYSTIQUE’S X-MEN MYSTERY

A X-Man will die in March 2016?

In the Marvel March 2016 previews it states a X-Man dies but who and how?

The new Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn and Greg Land arrives in January but is a member already marked for death?

The Master of Magnetism will lead a pro-active squad including Mystique, Sabretooth, Psylocke, Fantomex and Monet taking the fight to any threats to mutants. In the post-Secret Wars world, mutants are dying after exposure to the Terrigen Mists. Apocalypse is rising again.

Warren Worthington will become Archangel again and soars again issue six in The Apocalypse Wars.

Magneto’s team of killers, villains and rogues will fight the Dark Riders in Uncanny X-Men #4, #5. This 90’s team of henchmen for Apocalypse were made of Inhumans who followed En Sabah Nur.

Here’s the official word on the ominous issue five:

“The final confrontation between the Uncanny X-Men and the Dark Riders! One X-Man is dead and the world’s deadliest team of mutants is eager to deliver retribution. But what price will they pay to exact their revenge?”

Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth, Fantomex, Psylocke, Monet or someone else who’s not on the team? Who will die? Will death mean death?

Jean Grey, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Psylocke (kinda) – Death doesn’t always mean the end. What is Cullen Bunn’s endgame?

If you had to lost one of the new Uncanny squad who would it be?
