Marvel Knights is back in a big way! First with Spider-Man and now the X-Men. The revived line pairs independent creators with Marvel’s biggest icons for exciting new kinds of stories.

 

Wolverine, Rogue and Kitty Pryde star in Marvel Knights: X-Men by Brahm Revel and Cris Peter. The first issue arrives Wednesday with mutants and murder in a small town.

 

“I can’t tell you too much because the story is somewhat of a mystery,” Revel tells Marvel.com. “Or rather each of these two young girls [is a mystery]. I knew coming in that I wanted to invent some new characters that were blank slates and didn’t have immense histories from living in the Marvel Universe for 50 years.

This week’s big news of a Daredevil series from Netflix and the first issue of Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe made me think of…Domino?

 

Hang in with me. Domino has luck power like Longshot. A new X-Force was announced without Neena on the team. All this made me think of when the luckiest mutant teamed up with the Man Without Fear.

 

In the category of “….and now for something completely different…” Continue reading DOMINO & DAREDEVIL Flashback Friday

So much for most of my theories on the one word teaser for Resurrection.

 

It is a new arc of X-Men by Brian Wood and Kris Anka. It promoted a 3-issue arc called Ghosts according to Comic Book Resources. The new arc follows Muertas which introduces a new Sisterhood of Evil Mutants led by a newly redesigned Lady Deathstrike and non-mutant villains (Enchantress, Typhoid Mary) in her squad.

 

The all-female X-Men will face an enemy blames the mutants for nearly killing her. So who could that be? Continue reading X-MEN Resurrection Reveals GHOSTS

X-Factor is over for now but the odds are in favor of Longshot fans! The luck powered hero from another dimension already had a new job: saving the Marvel Universe!?

 

Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe #1 by Christopher Hastings and Jacopo Camagni arrives this week.

 

I’ve been a huge fan of Longshot and highly recommend the original limited series by Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams. I like having Longshot in the mix with the X-Men but he’s not a mutant. I always thought Longshot would be a great addition to the Avengers or out of the shadow of other team and become a solo star. Continue reading LONGSHOT Returns!
