Wolverine returns? Marvel teases possible "ResurreXion" of a clawed mutant

With Old Man Logan and Laura Kinney/ All-New Wolverine running around the "All-New, All Different" Marvel Universe as the resident clawed mutants, the ORIGINAL Wolverine still remains in the afterlife.. But is he set for a return in "ResurreXion" pretty soon? That's what this pixelated image for the cover of "X-Men: Blue" is teasing - and the question is whether it's the ol' canucklehead or perhaps another clawed character? It could be his son Daken... Or another alternate reality version just pulling our leg. Either way, this comes from fan speculation that's also being tackled on by Comic Book.com following the reveal of Marvel's June 2017 solicitations (which you can see via Newsarama). We can only wait and see how this plays out when Marvel reveals more information soon.

X-Men: Blue begins this April and issue #5 hits on June.

"Dark Days: The Forge" happens on June 14, while "Dark Days: The Casting" will be released on July 12.

The cover to "The Forge" looks to be centered around The Dark Knight detective himself - Batman. While no specifics were given on what the plot is for "Dark Days" - it is according to CBR set to "reveal the dark underbelly of the DCU" and lead on to an unspecified DC Event.

Happy 20th Anniversary, Tekken 3!

It's been 20 years since Namco decided to count to 3 with Tekken, and that game has remained embedded in the hearts and minds of fans of the franchise as well as Playstation owners that got the game when it was released for the console the following year. On this day back in 1997, Tekken 3 was released in arcades - bringing the series to a whole new level and introducing protagonist Jin Kazama into the fold along with a handful of new fighters who would become staples in the series. The game is considered one of the greatest video games of all time, and is one of the best-selling Playstation Games of the original console's era as well.


For Nostalgia's Sake, here's the intro again to the PSX version of the game:

Report: Chris Evans may move on from Captain America after Avengers: Infinity War

Looks like the burden of "wielding the shield" as Captain America may be up for actor Chris Evans once Avengers: Infinity War comes around in 2018, as a feature on the American star and director via Esquire suggests that he is ready to move on from the Marvel Cinematic Universe once he fulfills his six picture deal with Marvel Studios.

"Back in 2010, Marvel presented Evans with a nine-picture deal. He insisted he'd sign on for no more than six. Some family members thought he was nuts to dial back such a secure and lucrative gig. Evans saw it differently. 

 It takes five months to shoot a Marvel movie, and when you tack on the promotional obligations for each one, well, shit, man. Evans knew that for as long as he was bound to Captain America, he would have little time to take on other projects. He wanted to direct, he wanted to play other characters—roles that were more human—like the lead in Gifted, which will hit theaters this month. The script had brought him to tears. Evans managed to squeeze the movie in between Captain America and Avengers films."

Looking at it that way, you can't really blame Chris for wanting to pursue other endeavors. Training and working to become Captain America takes a lot of time, and he has more than fulfilled his fair share of work for the MCU. Whether the mantle will be passed to Sebastian Stan's Bucky or Anthony Mackie's Falcon remains to be seen, but if Evans does leave Cap behind he will do so with conviction and a good movie gathering all the MCU key players in Avengers: Infinity War.

Avengers: Infinity War will be released on May 4, 2018 in the US.

A week in and still getting a lot of people praising and "Hurt", there's plenty to talk about in the aftermath of the release of "Logan" - Hugh Jackman's final film as Wolverine and quite the swan song of a picture directed by James Mangold that stayed true to the character and used the "R-Rating" to good effect.
