Marvel shared new updates on the future of the X-Men at the Marvel All-New, All-Different Panel at NYCC and the boss made one thing clear.

“Contrary to popular opinion, we are NOT canceling the X-Men.” Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso declared. There have been conspiracy theories and rumors the X-line is getting cut and the Inhumans are expanding because a rival studio controls the X-Men film rights.

Inhumans are on the rise and as we’ve reported before, the Terrigenesis that is causing a spike in NuHumans is killing mutants.

Storm leads the Extraordinary X-Men (by Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos) on a global mission to protect mutants from the threat of the Terrigen Cloud. Beast is joining Uncanny Inhumans but it looks like a possible genetic war on the horizon. Continue reading X-MEN FUTURE Updates NYCC

Wolverine’s legacy lives on with a fearsome foursome.

Announced at New York Comic Con – Wolverines is a new ongoing weekly series by Charles Soule (Death of Wolverine, The Logan Legacy, The Weapon X Program) Ray Fawkes (The Logan Legacy) and artist Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine and the X-Men).

Mystique, Sabretooth, Daken and X-23 will assemble to investigate Logan’s death.

“The group here is not a set of people who are particularly interested in doing anything together unless they absolutely have to. I would suggest that folks check out both The Logan Legacy and The Weapon X Project, the two “bridge” series between Death of Wolverine and the Wolverines weekly.

X-MEN & GUARDIANS Enter THE BLACK VORTEX

Marvel goes cosmic with the first big event of 2015.

Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: The Black Vortex was announced at New York Comic Con.

Sam Humphries (Legendary Star-Lord) writes the first bookend issue that leads into Guardians of the Galaxy, All-New X-Men, Cyclops, Captain Marvel and Nova. The writer explains how this cosmic object draws in multiple heroes and powerful villains.

“The Black Vortex is an ancient artifact with the power to unlock the cosmic potential within yourself. Imagine the metamorphosis that turned Norrin Radd into the Silver Surfer, or Jean Grey into Dark Phoenix, available to anyone in the Marvel Universe.
But, of course, no amount of power comes without a cost—the Black Vortex makes its first appearance in The Legendary Star-Lord #5!” Humphries told Marvel.com.

“What happens when one person submits to the Black Vortex and becomes a titan of the cosmos? What happens when a whole team does it? Or a whole planet? We open the story ten billion years ago, at the birth of the Marvel Universe, and see what a Pandora’s Box the Black Vortex can be.

But against that epic scale, we’re grounding the story in the deeply personal conflict each character will go through just by encountering the Black Vortex.”

Ed McGuinness will be the artist on the bookend chapters.

The Black Vortex stars swirling in February 2015.
