Wizard World X-men News...
Christian Smith
panels hosted by Marvel Comics. First up was the Cup O' Joe Q&A
session, wherein Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada fielded questions
on a variety of topics.
The EIC confirmed that the publisher is working on a new Doctor
Strange series as well as a possible new monthly Ultimate title. No
further details were offered up for either project.
In other news from the panel:
Kabuki creator David Mack will be both writing and drawing an upcoming
arc on Daredevil.
The Epic launch title Trouble will be a teen romance series featuring
characters named Richard, Ben, Mary and May. Quesada likened the
series to thinking about parents having sex.
Regarding a possible return of Psylocke, Quesada said that X-Treme
X-Men writer Chris Claremont will need to speak with him first given
the EiC's policy on resurrecting dead characters.
Both the Spider-Man/Black Cat and Daredevil: Target mini-series' are
still on the schedule with writer Kevin Smith committed to finishing
them.
Writer Neil Gaiman's upcoming 1602 mini-series will likely be
collected in a hardcover edition following its completion.
Later in the afternoon, Marvel held their X-Men Panel in which it was
announced that former X-Treme X-Men artist Salvador Larroca will be
returning to Uncanny X-Men as the series' regular artist following the
completion of his six-issue stint on Namor (see 'LARROCA EXITS THE
NAMOR POOL').
In other X-Men panel news:
Following artist Phil Jimenez's work on the "Planet X" story arc in
New X-Men #147-150, former Uncanny X-Men artist Marc Silvestri will
join writer Grant Morrison on the series for a story arc beginning in
December with issue #151.
Morrison will remain onboard New X-Men for at least all of next year
according to series editor Mike Marts.
Gambit and Rogue will return in X-Treme X-Men #31, the first part of
the "Intifada" story arc, in September according to Claremont. The
writer also said that Bishop will feature more prominently in the
series in upcoming issues.
Editor Axel Alonso said that X-Statix will see the mutant celebrity
team get a new member with the resurrection of one of the world's most
recognizable figures. The series will also see the X-Statix clash with
another major Marvel team as well as the return of the original
X-Force.
Incredible Hulk artist Leandro Fernandez will join writer Greg Rucka
on Wolverine for an arc following the initial six-parter. Regular
series artist Darick Robertson will then return after completing work
on his Deathlok: Detour MAX mini.
Editor C.B. Cebulski declined to reveal the identity of the writer of
the upcoming new mutant title, NYX. Artist Josh Middleton has
reportedly completed work on the first issue.
The new Ultimate X-Men creative team of writer Brian Michael Bendis
and artist David Finch will put in a 12-issue run on the series with
no fill-ins.

GAH!!!! Why can't Sal go back to Xtreme and Kordey go to Uncanny???
No fair!!!
But.....sounds like a Psylocke resurrection is on the cards.
Excellent- we get to see what CC planned for her all along...
I've got a hunch that JMS will be the new Dr Strange writer, based on
stuiff he's said before
Trouble? Hmmm. Not quite sure we need Peter parkers family romance
story...

Shame he can't go back to XXM, but if he's going anywhere else then
Uncanny is a good choice.

Hopefully the X-Statix team will clash with Marvel's new team of

Abomination...

Yeah,

Quitely and Jiminez rotate on New
and Sal back on Xtreme but I suppose we can't get everything can we...

He was really the first X-Artist I knew, Drew the Inferno issues, and
onwards until Jim Lee took over
He's the one who decided what Jubilee, Genosha and lots of other
things we take as read were gonna look like..

Nope, confirmed that him and JRjr are staying put on there
Mainly because there was arumour that JRjr was leaving for Uncanny and
sal was taking over ASM!
Other bits just added....
Morrison will remain onboard New X-Men for at least all of next year
according to series editor Mike Marts. The writer will be exploring
what the next step of evolution might be.
Comment: OOOO!!!
Gambit and Rogue will return in X-Treme X-Men #31, the first part of
the "Intifada" story arc, in September according to Claremont. The
writer also said that Bishop will feature more prominently in the
series in upcoming issues, and will in some ways become the new team
leader. The Hellfire Club will also make a return appearance, as well
Destiny's diaries.
Comment: Hellfire Club! Excellent, hopefully it'll be the Dark Phoenix
type of HC, not the Excalibur or Shinobi Shaw version which just
sucked!
The team line-up for Chuck Austen's Uncanny X-Men will be pared down
and stabilized in the coming months. Fans of Iceman will not want to
miss the "Draco" story arc beginning in late July.
Comment: Hmm, wonder who'll go. I can actually see Chamber and
possibly Husk going. Jubilee will stay, Polaris is key in about 10
issue time so she'll stay. They better not get rid of Cain!!!
Fans of the recently-departed Blink from the alternate reality Exiles
series should "stay tuned" for news on the character's fate.
Comment: YESSSSSS!!! I BET she's in the 616 universe
Nathan Summers will still be a player in the Marvel Universe following
the cancellation of Soldier X and the completion of "The Underground"
story arc in Weapon X in which the character appears, but no details
were offered up as to what is planned for him.
Comment: Hopefully getting the name Cable back as a start!

No, no, mesa likey Psylocke. I just don't want CC getting in trouble

I could sort of live with that swap but I really like the way JRjr draws

Yeah, who names their kid after an eighties arcade game ? Shinobi, these

Chamber just doesn't grab me, really. Husk is Cannonball's sister, so
maybe she'll "defect" ?

I suppose there were still enough people buying Solider X that having
him in another X book would boost that book's sales. :-)

Nope, That's Nocturne. Blink is the pink skinned teleporter from the
Age Of apocalypse, she left Exiles to an unknown fate to make room for
Illyana Rasputin.
You should pick up Exiles, a very good read, and will be tying into
UNcanny in the next 3 issue arc in Exiles
The 616 reference is the "mainstream" Marvel Universe. 616 is the
designated number for this alternate reality based on the numbering
from the Capt Britain Corps.
Basically if anyone mentions the 616 universe, it's the Regular Marvel
Universe

Judging by the lack of super-powered heroes and alien invasions, I'm
guessing that our universe is in a different zip code. :-)

Nope. He's on ASM for the long haul. This will be after Supreme Power
is completed.
Alex Peckover
Phew. :-)
There is something unique about JMS's writing, the way he can take the
piss out of the Marvel Universe without actually insulting it (like
saying Ben Grimm is a bad taxi tipper). :-)
As far as the whole ASM team goes, I think this is definitely a case of
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
