ALL-NEW X-MEN On The Run

Young mutants on the run and rebelling against the X-Men?

In Once and Future Mutants we pondered the fate of the most current class of mutants students (Tempus, Triage, Goldballs, Hijack and Morph) and past “new” mutants that didn’t make it to front burner fandom.

Oya and Evan is on the run with the All-New X-Men (young Iceman, Beast, Angel and X-23) in issue three.

X-MEN LADIES IN WAITING

When will more X-Women make it to the big screen?

Even Negasonic Teenage Warhead is starring in a movie and she appeared in only one X-Men issue. (Well she kinda made a brief comeback in Emma’s psychic guilt nightmare)
