Astonishing X-Men #11 Spoilers

Spoilers: Proteus’ garden – a gestalt of confused and twisted mindscapes – grows in Fetters Hills. It soon spreads to other parts of the world. Psylocke takes command and orders the X-Men to attack. First, Archangel and Old Man Logan as metal is Proteus’ only weakness. Psylocke and X sense other reality seeds sprouting everywhere and leave the battle to save the rest of the world. Proteus is weakened and attacks the X-Men before fleeing. Warren catches up to him and shoots more metal feathers. The enraged Proteus fires back and disintegrates Archangel’s wings. Mystique poses as Moira to get close to Proteus but it’s no use. Proteus attacks both Mystique and Old Man Logan, but he is too hungry and weak now. Gambit tricks Proteus so that Rogue surprises him from behind. Proteus tries to eat Rogue, but Bishop arrives and absorbs Proteus, projecting his energy into the air, seemingly killing him. 

Meanwhile, Psylocke orders X to give his psychic strength to her as she plans to burn out the reality seeds. They try to suppress the reality seed in Tokyo but it’s not enough. X suggests Betsy tap into the network of psychics the Shadow King was trying to access earlier to escape the Astral Plane. Psylocke agrees. Their plan works and X notices that with this much power they could do anything. Psylocke knows something is off. Betsy is astonished when X’s body is torn in half and the Shadow King emerges victorious as this was his plan all along.

'Mystery in Madripoor' Sneak Peek

Marvel Teases Classified 'X-Men' Comic

X Classified #1 Classified (W) • Classified (A) Cover by: Classified Variant A Cover by: J Scott Campbell Virgin Variant A Cover by: J Scott Campbell Variant B Cover by: J Scott Campbell Virgin Variant B Cover by: J Scott Campbell Variant Cover by: Skottie Young Classified! On Sale: 07/25/18

CBR: As Marvel’s “Fresh Start” initiative rolls into the summer, the publisher is teasing a classified X-Men comic for July. There is no creative team and title attached to the project, but it does have the ominous title of X Classified #1, variant covers by J. Scott Campbell and Skottie Young, and a release date of July 25.

For Marvel to keep any and all information regarding this X-Men comic a secret must mean it will have a tremendous impact on the X-franchise. It’s also not clear if X Classified will be a new ongoing series, miniseries or event, and if this encompasses the entire X-Men line of comics or individual titles.

However, earlier this month Marvel released cover art for Extermination, a new comic debuting in August 2018 from the creative team of writer Ed Brisson and artist Pepe Larraz, with covers by Mark Brooks. While the teaser doesn’t include any story details, Brooks’ artwork shows the classic X-Men team apparently re-merging with their time-displaced X-Men Blue counterparts.

Another possibility is this comic could spin out of The Hunt for Wolverine. An infographic for the event ended with a mysterious classified image, which could be alluding to a new ongoing series for the resurrected Wolverine.

Matthew Rosenberg Talks Psylocke

Ever since the new ‘Astonishing X-Men’ lineup was announced, fans took to Twitter to ask creators about the characters left without a book such as Psylocke, Bishop and Archangel. Yesterday, Charles Soule confirmed there were plans for Psylocke.

Now Matthew Rosenberg has confirmed that Psylocke is not part of the new ‘Astonishing’ going forward. He suggested she will be busy elsewhere: “I love Betsy, but I think she has other places to be.”

Rosenberg also talked about Bishop: “He will be around. Just not Astonishing.”

'Astonishing X-Men' Debuts New Lineup & Creative Team Without Psylocke

Writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Greg Land are the new creative team on Astonishing X-Men, beginning with Issue #13 on July 4. The series will also see a new team lineup of Havok, Beast, Warpath, Colossus, Dazzler and a mystery member.

Astonishing X-Men #13 marks the return of the Reavers, who are bringing with them a secret weapon that only Havok knows about.

After the announcement, Rosenberg posted on Twitter, “For those wondering our team is Havok and Beast as co-leaders. Dazzler brings the firepower. Colossus brings the muscle. Warpath brings the knives. And *maybe* there is another team member we aren’t talking about yet? And no, I won’t spoil it.”

What about Psylocke?

Charles Soule took to Twitter to assure fans: "We have plans for Psylocke".
