Reminder that this is a genuine panel from a published comic.

Methinks that someone forgot Magneto's origins.

The X-Men are sort of at a crossroads. They're at a point where they are trying to decide, is there a future for the X-Men? And Kitty is very much of the mindset that there is a future for the X-Men and it's a bright future. That there's more work that the X-Men still have to do. Not just for mutants, but really for humanity. What Kitty's leadership does from a storytelling perspective is that it really positions the book for its mission statement, which is we really want to tell stories that get back to the idea of just the X-Men as superheroes. Not all of the stories that we're doing are based on mutants or the problems of mutants or the conflict with the Inhumans. It's very much a team superhero book.

While details on the book’s story are minimal, we know that Kitty will be returning from her adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy to help the X-Men rebound after their war with the Inhumans. The first big threat they will face will be a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with members that Guggenheim says ought to surprise readers.

So basically Kitty avoids the current stupidity and thus takes a position of leadership....I'm fine with that.

Rachel Grey will be getting a big superhero makeover with a new costume and new codename, Prestige.

“She was Marvel Girl, then she was Pheonix, she was often times less Rachel Grey and more Jean Grey. And I had this idea, wouldn't it be fun to take an X-Men and give them a new identity, kind of like the way Chris Claremont did with Carol Danvers and making her Binary many years ago? I thought that was kind of intriguing,” Guggenheim explained. “As I thought about that, I started thinking about that idea in connection with Rachel and the notion that if there was any character who needed to adopt a new identity, that was forward thinking, that wasn't about her legacy or her family, it was Rachel. And I think in many ways Rachel represents this mission statement that Kitty has given the X-Men, which is let's not look backwards, let's look forwards.”

The roster will consist of the five original, time-displaced X-Men: leader Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel. The twist? With Professor X dead, their mentor will be the greatest enemy of their time, Magneto.

This comes as no surprise to those following Bunn’s work. He wrote a Magneto solo series and is currently writing Uncanny X-Men featuring a team led by the Master of Magnetism. Bunn made it clear that Magneto is not the star of X-Men: Blue like he was in those other books, but he has an important role to play none the less.

Baby Groot is just plain awesome. So very much looking forward to this.

 

[Ordo]

Oh Miles....I can not WAIT to see how you explain this to Peter Parker....

 

[ankokudaishogun]

Better yet: how Gwen can explain it to the police. She goes to college, he's underage.

Also, we all know she's going to drop Miles for Ganke once he shows her his legos

I'd pay good money to see older heroes like Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau pull Gwen aside and explain to her why this is wrong...

 

[Prince Charon]

Does she know how old he is?

 

[gojiita]

Does Gwen know who he is?

In Ultimate, didn't Black Cat kiss Peter Parker, unmask him, realize his age, and run off on the verge of throwing up?

tell that to the police!

No.

She run away AFTER throwing up.

 

[Lord Raa]

You folks seen what they're doing with Unstoppable Wasp?

The lack of background detail is pretty bad.

And there's the dialogue. 

It's almost as if they realised people won't want to spend money on this and hired a load of Tumblr-tier writers and artists.

 

[ankokudaishogun]

Look, this is a VAST improvement from Mockingbird's own book.
Which has been referenced ONCE, in Iron Fist&Power Man, and the author got shouted by the author of Mockingbird because he was writing Bobbi the way she were in the book. Where she's no more a rape victim but villingly murdered a guy she regretted have sex with.
I'm quite sure they're going to play the whole book as "delusions caused by the illness from the first issues" if they are ever going to reference it again.


That said... this was hamfisted. I'll give the book another issue to see if the story goes anywhere.

 

[Prince Charon]

I'm guessing that the target audience is teenage tumblerites, or something like that.

They haven't really been successful with it.

That's good, maybe that will cause the editors to get a better writer and artist (or even just a better writer alone) on it.

... or cancel it altogether.  Either one works.

Personally would rather have them cancelled altogether and rebooted from scratch, using writers looking to tell a story of these magnificent heroes, and not push socio-political ideologies and propaganda disguised as stories, which seems to be more and more prevalent nowadays from Marvel.

'Marvel's Cloak and Dagger' tv series casts Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph in the title roles

 

[da_fox2279]

Well... this is happening.

Actually, I like it better than the original Scarlett Spider outfit.

 

[gojiita]

Everyone's getting hoodies. It's better than the blue torn up shirt, but I like Kane's Scarlet Spider costume. Is he gone now?

 

[da_fox2279]

I hope not. I find myself liking Kane, especially after Spider-Verse. And his costume rocked.

 

[da_fox2279]

What is Batch-H?

 

[da_fox2279]

Old Man Logan is getting a new creative team with issue #25.

Here are some upcoming covers:

 

[Prince Charon]

What is Batch-H?

It rather looks like the Hulk with Wolverine claws... as if Hulk needed to be scarier (actually, would the claws increase his effectiveness to a noticeable degree?).

Kind a smallish for a Hulk, but that's what it is apparently according to Marvel. More fun from government experiments and it's going to be an arc in the Wolverine comics for a bit.

Considering Old Man Logan's history with the Hulk, you can bet he'll be pissed.

 

[ankokudaishogun]

well, people keep forgetting that Logan is actuallu very short
