ResurrXion marks a rebirth for the X-Men books in 2017. Marvel announced new titles starring Iceman, Jean Grey, Cable, Weapon X, Generation X and two flagship books: X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue.

If the news has your feeling nostalgic for more ’90’s excitement we’re with you. After all Blue and Gold teams were the stars of the first X-Men #1 by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee and Uncanny X-Men #281 by Claremont and Whilce Portacio.

If was the age of a new mutant genesis, Claremont brought all the long lost X-Men and their allies together and launched the first “second” X-Men book. Fans also welcome a new X-Factor (a government backed mutant team) by Peter David, New Mutants become X-Force and Excalibur by Claremont and Alan Davis merged X-Men and Marvel UK heroes into a new team. As the 1990’s continued Scott Lobdell joined and co-created Generation X. Cable, Bishop and Gambit scored solo books, Age of Apocalypse was born leading to the introduction of X-Man.

As the mutants experience a rebirth next year, we can’t help but hope for a return of more mutants, books and teams. Here are our more mutant books for your consideration: Continue reading More X-MEN ResurrXion Books For Your Consideration

The teasing outbreak continues!

After hinting at “an end, a beginning with ResurrXion”, Marvel announced Iceman #1 yesterday and now an announcement via Twitter for Weapon X #1.

Weapon X is one of the code-names for the X-Man Wolverine and the name of the infamous military/science unit that transformed Logan into Weapon X by giving him an adamantium skull and claws.  Later incarnations of the program produced Deadpool, Maverick, X-23 (Logan’s clone now using the Wolverine code-name and headlining the Wolverine book) and more weaponized mutants.

Fans should note the teaser image shows the history of the Weapon X program and its many victims/products including Logan/Wolverine from the classic Barry Windsor-Smith story, Sauron, X-23, Deadpool and Sabretooth.

Iceman is getting his own solo comic book Marvel revealed via Twitter with a cover showing the X-Man’s 50 year history.

Iceman #1 was announced for Spring 2017 with the previously teased ResurrXion, which appears to be the follow-up event to Inhumans vs. X-Men.

This is the first new title announced with the mysterious ResurrXion banner.

This is the first ongoing title to star original X-Man Bobby Drake.

Two versions of Iceman exist in the Marvel Universe. Both came out of the closet during the Brian Michael Bendis run in which Beast brought the original five X-Men into the present.

Young Bobby from the past was “outed” by psychic Jean Grey. Bobby later confronted his older adult self about his lifetime in the closet. Iceman is now the most prominent LGBT Marvel character.

Young Bobby is currently part of the All-New X-Men and recently sparks flew between him and a young gay Inhuman. Older Drake is part of Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men team. Continue reading ICEMAN Solo Book With RESURRXION
