ICYMI: Marvel Reveals the First New Titles and Creative Teams for "X-Men: From The Ashes"

 

After the "Fall of X" and the events of The Krakoa Era end in a few months time, literally "From The Ashes" rises a new beginning for Marvel's Merry Mutants!

As revealed by Marvel during their Future of Marvel Comics panel held at SXSW convention, the House of Ideas will be relaunching new X-Men books under the "X-Men: From The Ashes" initiative - with "Uncanny X-Men", "X-Men", and "Exceptional X-Men" leading the charge as the first three new books coming out this Summer!

You can check out the reveal trailer below:

With Gail Simone and David Marquez handling Uncanny X-Men, Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman teaming up for X-Men, and finally Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero taking on the Exceptional X-Men, that's a pretty solid line-up of teams harkening back to the 90's era of X-Books... And that's just the tip of the iceberg as there's more titles coming that also revert back to the classic 90's style logos too.

The new era of X-Men begins this July with “X-Men” by MacKay and Stegman launching first!

X-Men Divide and Reform into Two Teams in "Regenesis" come October!

After the events of the X-Men storyline "Schism" conclude and Uncanny X-Men ends with issue #544 on September, a (predictable) reboot will ensue and we will see the birth of two new X-Men comic series come October - namely Wolverine and the X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #1!

Obviously, the split after schism is very real, with Wolverine will be leading his own team of merry mutants (with the new book taking its name after the 2008 animated series "Wolverine and the X-Men"), while Scott Summers/ Cyclops builds his own group in the relaunched "Uncanny X-Men" series. It's not known who's going to who's roster thus far, but the poster above seems to hint (or mislead) us at who will be at Wolverine's team or Cyclops' team. Safe bet is by the time Schism ends, we'll know what the full rosters of both will be.

Overall, it's very reminiscent of the Avengers split after Civil War (with New Avengers and Mighty Avengers), and we'll see a rivalry form between the two teams I bet. For more insight and info on the story, visit the source pots at Marvel.com or Newsarama!

Uncanny X-Men ends in October...

Looks like Marvel's following DC's lead (again) by ending one of their signature books and hinting at the possibility of a reboot...

As posted in Newsarama and Marvel.com, this October will see the end of Uncanny X-men, with the long running series capping off when issue #544 hits comic stores and retailers that month. Obviously it has something to do with the fallout of Schism, the new X-event and storyline that ends around that time and acts as the X-men's version of Civil War, with Cyclops and Wolverine standing on divided fronts and duking it out. The cover also shows a disappointed Cyclops walking off the distance, with a big X on the background showing the original 5 members of the X-men (including Cyke himself) in it. No other info is attached in the teaser other than stating that it's "The Final Issue". For more info on the story, visit Newsarama and Marvel.com.

Oh yeah, I smell reboot again, and numbering no longer seems to be an important factor in comics. Gone are days...
