NYCC 2011: X-Men Regenesis Panel

                          

X-Men: Legacy new creative team is writer Christos Gage and artist David Baldeon. The book will have Rogue, Gambit, Rachel Grey and Frenzy as teachers and defenders of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Wolverine & the X-Men: Alpha & Omega, written by Brian Wood, is a five-issue miniseries with art from Mark Brooks and Roland Boschi. It stars Wolverine and Kid Omega, Quentin Quire in a clash for dominance of the newly formed Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Uncanny X-Men, written by Kieron Gillen, is about the X-Men operating on a scale we've never seen them operate on before. They are trying to be the "premier superhero team." Psylocke graces the cover for Uncanny X-Men #5.

X-Factor, written by Peter David, will see Wolverine having a proposition to the team which leads to Havok and Polaris joining X-Factor.

Uncanny X-Force, written by Rick Remender, will see very big stuff coming up. In X-Force and Secret Avengers, the threats and the things that they're dealing with are intersecting in ways that they're not aware of yet. Naturally, though, things may collided together.

Age of Apocalypse by David Lapham and Roberto De La Torre is a new ongoing series and starts in May 2012. It launches directly out of the events of the Dark Angel Saga.

Generation Hope, written by James Asmus, will have the "hormones and kissing" you'd hope to see in a teen book. The team is sticking with their mission. Sebastian Shaw was mindwiped and left off the map. Once the team sees a signature that is unaccounted for, they're going to go after it thinking it's a new mutant, only to find out that it's Sebastian Shaw.

X-Men, written by Victor Gischler, will check in on the status of Jubilee.

Astonishing X-Men, written by Greg Pak, is a book where you are going to se some major emotional repercussions coming off of Schism, Cyclops and Storm in particular. Some characters who might not meet up in any other books will be interacting in interesting ways in Astonishing.

Wolverine and The X-Men, written by Jason Aaron, will have Wolverine playing the role of Professor X. There's a Danger Room, but it's not the Danger Room we've seen before. There are classes, but not like we've seen before. It's a complete mix of characters.

New Mutants, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, is not strictly a mutant team. They have an extraterrestrial member, and a former mutant human.

New Mutants #24 Spoilers

Spoilers: Cannonball asks the Force Warriors if it's too late to reform the TK walls, Lady Braddock tells him it's too late as enemy forces have arrived. Cannonball tells her and the Force Warriors they're on the battlefield, he leads them all with everything they have as they all know it's the end of their world anyway. Legion meanwhile deals with realizing one of his twisted personalities posing as Moira is responsible for recreating their world. Moira throws the box containing the universe into a burning fireplace, before it hits the flames Kitty appears through the wall to catch it just in time. As Kitty attempts to escape Moira tells her that she created this world and that it is pointless to try and stop her as she can recreate or destroy anything with her mind. Magneto and Xavier appear and protect Kitty from Moira's attacks. On the battlefield Cannonball is brutally wounded and he has Legacy take his powers/memories. Elsewhere Moira attempts to convince Legion that the 616 memories are lies planted by Xavier. Legion doesn't believe Moira and he embraces her as he does he tricks her and absorbs her back into his psyche where she screams and pleads to live. Legion flies out to the battlefield and quickly makes all the enemies disappear. Now that Legion has Moira reabsorbed he is able to warp reality back to it's true self. The ruins of Fortress X are transformed back into Utopia and everyone appears as they normally would. The X-Men all struggle to deal with the rush of their lives and memories coming back to them while still dealing with their Age of X memories. Chamber appears in his original appearance (before he was transformed by M-Day) and he says it isn't right. Revenent tells him that they are pieces that don't fit in that reality and that there are others who don't as well. Frenzy sees Cyclops and immediately embraces and kisses him in front of Emma Frost. Emma Frost assumes there is an explanation for their embrace and quickly dismisses Frenzy. We see Psylocke and Angel reunite while Storm and Namor appear to be somewhat awkward of each other. Xavier finds Blindfold alone and asks what she's doing, she says she's mourning the dead of Age of X. Xavier tells her they weren't real, but Blindfold compares them to real people saying God wanted us to live so we live, the same was said for the people Moira created. Finally we see Legion alone, holding the remains of Fortress X in the palm in his hand, Legion can hear Moira telling him if he ever wants this world to return it can and that it will be better next time. Legion makes a fist and as he opens his hand Fortress X is gone.

New Mutants #23 Spoilers (Age of X, Chapter 4)

Spoilers: Magneto catches up to Legacy (Rogue) and Gambit. Magneto is rebelling as well because he feels there is something wrong. He shows them the Fortress X plans and point to a room he didn't build. He sends them to see what's in the room while he provides the distraction. "X" loses track of Magneto, then tells Moonstar that he has also betrayed them, so now they are looking for him. Rogue borrows Gambit's powers to get to the room Magneto wants them to infiltrate. Magneto frees Kitty and Professor X - he's trying to rescue them. Whomever has created the chaos, its a woman. Xavier says he couldn't stop her. "She took it all. Turned it inside out". He says they have to find her and make her give it back. Rogue and Gambit enter the room. They find Dr. Nemesis frozen in place trying to touch a keyboard. We find out that Nemesis was looking at scans of someone's brain. They find a box, Rogue looks inside and drops the box. Moonstar and her gang catch up to Magneto, they accuse him of murder, he says he's killed no one. They come to a truce until they get all the answers. Something drops on Magnetos and knocks him out, the Force Warriors have taken over control and have relieved Magneto of his command. Gambit asks Rogue what she saw in the box. The whole universe is in the box which is why there is nothing outside the walls of Fortress X...

X-Men MMXI: New Mutants

New Mutants: MMXI - Liveblog!

• Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning will take over "New Mutants" as of issue #25.

• The artist of the book will be Leandro Fernandez who also did the initial "New Mutants" teaser which hit online last week.

• "Unfinished Business" is the first arc, where the team will track down mutants who have been off the map including Nate "X-Man" Grey and Blink. Cyclops sets the New Mutants team out to nullify potential threats born from the X-Men's past.

• New Mutants is the team that deals with loose ends. They are X-Men.

• The team's roster will see some pretty significant changes by the end of the first arc.

• Nate Grey is X-Royalty that needs to be relocated. He can't just be left hanging in the wind. Nate was last seen being taken off to be hooked up to the Dark Beast's machines.

• Blink's role in the book is different because she has less past with the proper X-Men characters, which opens up new story potential.

• Dani Moonstar's relationship with Sam Guthrie will be touched, as well as introducing a real curveball romantic liason.

• Havok, Polaris and Rachel will return before MMXI is over.

• "New Mutants" #25 ships to comic shops this May from Marvel Comics.

Age of X Assessment: Chapter 1

Marvel.com: We caught up with Carey to get sort out these happenings; also, check out some exclusive preview art by Steve Kurt from Age of X’s fourth chapter, coming up in New Mutants #23 on sale March 23.

Who are the five members of the Force Warriors? How are they viewed by the rest of the X-Men?

Mike Carey: The five are Psylocke, Legion, Hellion, Stand-Off—which is to say Carmella Unuscione—and Revenant. In light of what we've just been talking about, you could compare their role to Legacy's: they're too important to risk in the thick of the fighting, because without the force walls, Fortress X can't survive. But they're much more visible than Legacy, their role is a daily and ubiquitous one, and they're not associated with death and loss. Quite the opposite: they're the face of survival and defiance, and everyone respects and even loves them.

We spoke about Namor and Storm last time, but why did you decide to pair up Frenzy with Cyclops/Basilisk and Iceman with Psylocke romantically?

Mike Carey: Iceman and Psylocke was just a "why not?" That Dick Van Dyke dialogue came to me as I was scripting, so I stuck it in. The pairing of Basilisk and Frenzy is much less random, and I think it tells you something about both of them. First, this is a Frenzy who's much closer to the heart of things than the Frenzy in regular continuity: someone who's embraced a positive role and despite her more fierce and wayward instincts, sticks to it. But also, this is a Scott Summers who is much more reckless and self-destructive. There's an edge of violence and dysfunction in the relationship which we glimpse in this issue and see again later. Although, having said that, there's a real passion, too. They sort of work. You remember that line from [the television show] “Firefly” spoken by Wash? "A lot of people don't get me and Zoe, at first..." It's like that. Your first thought is "say, what?" but I'm hoping that people will see the way they watch each other's backs and keep each other standing.

New Mutants #22 Spoilers (Age of X Ch.2)

Spoilers: Jubilee speaks to Chamber about what exactly they're fighting for other than to simply "survive". Chamber tells her they will fight till the end and maybe one day their story will inspire others to roll their sleeves up and fight. After Rogue speaks to Magneto about Kitty and that she would like to talk to her to see what she was doing outside of the force fields. Magneto says that Kitty is Danger's prisoner and not his. (Even though specifically he gave orders to Danger that Kitty could only be seen and heard by Magneto). Rogue goes to see Madison Jeffries about the camera she recovered from Kitty. Madison mentions the camera is pretty damaged, but that all the pictures taken are just blank. Rogue then borrows Jeffries powers and she goes to see Kitty in her cell. On her way she encounters Blindfold in a cell (dressed in her Young X-Man uniform..) she pleads with Rogue telling her everyone is confused and that everyone was someone else. She tells Rogue she needs to go see Professor Xavier. Rogue finally finds Kitty and asks about the camera and what she saw outside of Fortress X, but before she can reveal any information Danger finds Rogue, and her powers borrowed from Jeffries don't affect Danger. Rogue was able to take Kitty's powers (but not her memories) and she flees as she does she runs across Xavier who is unconscious she touches him and has a surge of voices and images of everyone this same surge of information hits everyone else. Rogue continues to flee and escapes from Danger. Magneto gives orders to have Rogue hunted down and we see the New Mutants squad ready to pursue her.

Notes: AoX Lady Braddock (Psylocke) does not appear in the issue, but it's still a great read. Check it out.
