No, we hate them because every time we see one, we think, god damn it, we wish this was a real action figure! Such is the case with the Uncanny X-Men #1 variant by John Tyler Christopher that Marvel just revealed in a press release: This November, UNCANNY X-MEN returns with a new ongoing series, bringing together[...]

After teasing fans with all the variant covers they've revealed for November's Uncanny X-Men relaunch, Marvel has finally given fans what they want and deserve with an Uncanny X-Men #1 variant by superstar artist Rob freakin' Liefeld Bask in its glory WE SAID BASK IN IT! A press release contains more details: This November, UNCANNY X-MEN returns[...]

Continuing their tradition of exploiting celebrating nostalgia to boost comics sales, Marvel has revealed the Dave Cockrum Hidden Gem variant cover for Uncanny X-Men #1, using what appears to be a 1980 house ad by the legendary artist. Whether modern coloring techniques are an improvement over the original, we'll leave to you to decide. But either way,[...]

Marvel has revealed superstar artist Jen Bartel's variant cover for November's Uncanny X-Men #1, and unlike previous Uncanny X-Men covers we've seen, this variant cover can speak with a British accent No, wait, sorry, got our signals crossed there The big difference is this variant cover actually has a background And feet! November can't come soon[...]

Since we learned that Uncanny X-Men, the greatest comic book title in the history of publishing, would return this November, we were naturally quite excited, even if didn't contain enough Chris Claremont (by which we mean it did not contain any Chris Claremont) Since then, Marvel and the book's 47-person creative team have kept very[...]

November also sees the long-awaited relaunch of Uncanny X-Men by the all-star creative team ofEd Brisson, Kelly Thompson, Matthew Rosenberg, Mahmud Asrar, R.B Silva, Yildiray Cinar, and Pere Pérez We've already seen a few pages of unlettered art from Uncanny X-Men #1 and #2, and in our zeal for this series, we even lettered a few of[...]

Everyone is excited about the upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch, starring every living X-Men and nearly every Marvel creator But the problem with the comics business is that everything starts off great with a #1 issue, but when it comes to sales, it's all downhill from there That's why Marvel relaunches all their titles roughly once[...]

Shapira makes the case that comics with low prices and/or extra value  for the regular price in their first issues show faith in the material to build and maintain an audience, while super-sized and overpriced first issues show a lack of faith because Marvel is trying to get as much money as possible up front[...]

Once an indie darling, the author of such series as 12 Reasons to Die, We Can Never Go Home, and 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank, Matthew Rosenberg, has risen to the status of superstar writer, exclusive to Marvel Comics, and alongside the 27 other people on the creative team, has the honor of rebooting[...]

We can't guarantee 100% accuracy, of course. November sees the long-awaited reboot of Uncanny X-Men from the creative team of Ed Brisson, Matthew Rosenberg, Kelly Thompson, Mahmud Asrar, R.B Silva, Yildiray Cinar, and Pere Pérez What? You think a regular-sized creative team can reboot a series this iconic?! Marvel is keeping secretive about what's going to happen[...]

All week long, the new writers of the upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch have been telling us how important it is to torture the X-Men for good stories. Said Matthew Rosenberg: I think the best X-Men stories need two things that often seem in opposition, but are entirely crucial First they need real danger The X-Men go through[...]

Yesterday, we commented on the disappointing lack of action or drama on the covers for Uncanny X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #2, released earlier this week We also reported on the shocking lack of feet, not only in both covers by Leinil Francis Yu and Edgar Delgado, but also in the massive teaser image by[...]

It's the most exciting comic book revival in the history of comics! The return to prominence for an oft-abused franchise! It's… a bunch of characters standing around doing nothing?

We'll leave it up to you decide which type of day this is. Following last week's news about the Uncanny X-Men relaunch, all three of the book's new writers — Matthew Rosenberg, Kelly Thompson, and Ed Brisson — got into a discussion on Twitter about the killing off of Honey Badger, the sister of X-23[...]

Marvel has revealed the creative team for the upcoming Uncanny X-Men relaunch, and it's… pretty much everyone. Ed Brisson, Kelly Thompson, Matthew Rosenberg, Mahmud Asrar, R.B Silva, Yildiray Cinar, and Pere Pérez will serve as the creative team, perhaps taking a little bit of inspiration from our own suggestion for the X-reboot, though with far less Chris[...]

While it's true that comics should move forward and not rely on the past, it's just plain stupid not to leverage the man who co-created many of the stories that defined the X-Men. Uncanny X-Men will return in November, and there's no creative team announced yet That means there's still time for Marvel to consider the[...]

Just announced at the X-Men panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Uncanny X-Men is returning in November No word on the creative team at this time, perhaps because, as Bleeding Cool reported, one is not yet locked down. But it will follow a series of weekly one-shots in October focusing on X-Men villains, each by a different creative[...]

Bleeding Cool Rumourmonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston has already checked off one of the X-announcements on his "2018 San Diego Comic-Con pip pip you heard it here first checklist," but we're still waiting for the big one: Uncanny X-Men #1. Of course, you've heard our hopes on what they might do with it: let Chris Claremont write something, ferchrissakes[...]

Check this out, true believers… We know that Marvel is almost certainly planning to relaunch Uncanny X-Men, probably in September When they do it, they should reboot it as a weekly series with a creative team led by the great Chris Claremont, working with the multiple creators that otherwise would be dedicated to the multiple ongoing[...]

Prior to New York Comic Con, Bleeding Cool reported on a rumor that the long-running series Uncanny X-Men would return following the resurrection of Jean Grey in Phoenix:[...]

A big announcement is coming your way later this week! — Cullen Bunn 🎃 (@cullenbunn) January 17, 2017 What exactly this is is[...]

By Joe Glass Possibly one of the most worryingly titled X-Men events is the focus of Marvel's panel, as they reveal more of Death of X.  Hosted by Rickey Purdin, with Axel Alonso, Cullen Bunn, Tom Taylor and Scott Koblish. Alonso tells us Death of X fills in the gaps between the end of Secret Wars and where[...]

And of course, who better to pull the details of his rise in popularity and success than his longtime partner in creativity, Jamie McKelvie. We start with a big cheer from a roomful of The Wicked + The Divine fans, followed by Jamie and Kieron taking their seats to be awarded by Comic-Con International for their[...]

Uncanny X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis et al and the Iceman plot-line Iceman, for years, has had hints and breadcrumbs left that there is more to this character than simple class-clown, heart of the X-Men archetype that we have most often seen him portrayed as There has often been hinted that there is something dark inside[...]

This preview page for an upcoming issue of Uncanny X-Men may have revealed another part of that teams mission statement… Te image sees Psylocke using Cerebro to search for people Three of the five are identifiably "healer" characters in the Marvel Universe – Excalibur, Elixir and Triage.
