The creative teams of the new X-Men books are now known. The new Iceman series
will be from Sina Grace and Alessandro Vitti. The series will star the adult
Bobby Drake and deal with the outing of the younger, time-displaced Iceman from
All-New X-Men. More information on just how powerful Bobby is will be revealed
since Jason Aaron and Rick Remender revealed that Bobby was an Omega Level
mutant years ago. The new Weapon X series will be from the team of Greg Pak and
Greg Land. The series will create a new covert team of mutants tasked with
fighting the Weapon X program’s new mission of killing all mutants. The team
will be: Old Man Logan, Sabertooth, Lady Deathstrike, Domino, and Warpath. The
new X-Men team book X-Men: Blue will be from Cullen Bunn and Jorge Molina. The
team will be led by Magneto and consist of the younger time displaced versions
of the X-Men: Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, and Angel. Bunn will play off
the fact that the young mutants don’t really trust Magneto since he was the
first villain they fought. X-Men: Gold has the team of Marc Guggenheim and
former Superman artist Ardian Syaf. The team will be led by Kitty Pryde and
consist of: Nightcrawler, Rachel Grey, Storm, Colossus, and Old Man Logan. In
the new series Rachel Grey will have an actual superhero name-Prestige and get a
new costume. The new Jean Grey ongoing will be from Dennis Hopeless and Victor
Ibanez. Hopeless says the series will send the time-displaced Jean on the path
to understand her connection to the Phoenix Force to fight the future of her
turning evil. The new version of Generation X from Christina Strain and Amilcar
will reintroduce the X-Men’s school, called once again the Xavier Institute. The
new school will be divided into three different classes creating the Next
Generation of X-Men, the Next Generation of Ambassadors or the Next Generation
of what has been described as lovable losers. That class includes: Quentin
Quire, Bling!, Eye-Boy, Benjamin Deeds, Nature Girl and a new character named
Hindsight. That team will be under the wing of Jubilee, who will have to take
this group of misfits and figure out what to do with them. Strain says we are
likely to see Chamber, Husk, Dani Moonstar, Magik and Andre Mexer in the series.
And in a twist the school will be based in Central Park. And the final creative
team to be announced was Cable which will be from James Robinson and Carlos
Pacheco. The book seems to be called X-Cable and will have Nathan Summers on a
race against time to fix time. Just what he is trying to fix will be revealed
during the series but we should expect Nathan to travel to 15th century Japan,
WWI, the Stone Age, Victorian England and others as he faces off against a new
villain called Conquest, who is changing time to benefit himself. Marvel Editor
Sana Amant has hinted that we may see other X-Men series announced in the
future. |
