Marvel’s X-Men: Regenesis
November 2011 is X-Men: Regenesis month as the entire X-line is rebranded and set on a new direction. After the events of X-Men: Schism, the X-Men have never been more divided. Cyclops and his loyalists on the island of Utopia are determined to save their species, while Wolverine has opened the Jean Grey Center for Higher Learning on the grounds of Xavier’s school back in New York to protect the mutant youth. Marvel’s mutants choose sides in comic book shops around the world and digitally this Fall.
Keep up with our reviews as each of the X-titles enter this new era by visiting this page. Also be sure to check out our notes from the X-Men: Regenesis panel at this year’s New York Comic Con and all of Marvel’s teaser images announcing this jumping on point in the links below.
REVIEW: X-Factor #230 (X-Men Regenesis)
The final series in Marvel’s X-Men line to reach the Regenesis rebranding might be the most difficult one for me to review. I’m an unapologetic fan of Peter David, X-Factor, and Havok so I had high expectations going in. I can honestly say that X-Factor #230 took me a bit by surprise with its approach and
REVIEW: Uncanny X-Force #19 (X-Men Regenesis)
It was going to be difficult to follow the events of Uncanny X-Force #18, but writer Rick Remender continues to impress as the series enters the X-Men: Regenesis era. The X-Force team has been put through the wringer and the status quo for a number of characters has dramatically shifted. Issue #19 provides a coda
REVIEW: X-Men: Legacy #259 (X-Men Regenesis)
This week’s X-Men: Legacy #259 rounds out November’s X-Men: Regenesis books. Since we’ll be waiting on Uncanny X-Force and X-Factor to catch up to this latest launch point for Marvel’s Mutants in December and January respectively, it was nice to have one more Regenesis book ship this month after the flurry of titles that were released
REVIEW: Generation Hope #13 (X-Men Regenesis)
James Asmus’ first issue of Generation Hope taking over for Kieron Gillen (who gave fans permission to buy the book since he didn’t have any of his own on the shelf this week) manages to strike a nice balance familiarizing readers with the principal characters and their mission, bringing new characters into the mix, and
REVIEW: X-Men #20 (X-Men Regenesis)
The currently “adjectiveless” X-Men series is among the newest of the X-titles and has had what many consider a dubious publication history in it’s short lifetime. The book has focused on the team facing vampires and teaming with both Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four under the pen of writer Victor Gischler, with a brief interlude for Chris
REVIEW: New Mutants #33 (X-Men Regenesis)
There are a lot of good things happening with this book both inside and out. All of the X-titles have new logos on their covers as part of X-Men: Regenesis courtesy of designer Jared Fletcher. This was the first time I’d really looked at his New Mutants logo and I like it a lot, particularly the
REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #1 (X-Men Regenesis)
Kieron Gillen and Carlos Pacheco’s introduction to the new volume of Uncanny X-Men is a solid first issue that gives a good idea of what to expect from the series: universe class threats, incredible displays of power and the X-Men striving to become Earth’s mightiest heroes. This comes along with their interpersonal struggles as Cyclops
REVIEW: Uncanny X-Men #544 – The Final Issue
Let me start by saying I’m not a fan of the cancellation and renumbering of long standing series, but I understand it from a business standpoint. I’ve had the luxury of seeing the title I’m most invested in maintain a continuous run since I began collecting, but that ended two weeks ago. Marvel Comics published
Standard Deviations vol. 1:
X-Men: Regenesis variant coversI am an unabashed fan and reader of Marvel Comics’ X-Men, but I am also a collector. As a consequence, I’ll go out of my way to track down variant covers of issues from most titles in the X-franchise. A quick disclaimer before we go on, I know the interior pages are identical, I know the
Chris Claremont and Jim Lee’s X-Men #1 20th Anniversary Redux
Last week, we spent some time talking about Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s Justice League #2. Regardless of what people think of DC Comics’ New 52 relaunch or this retelling of the first meeting of their greatest heroes, the book is gorgeous. Justice League #1 was a top seller and there’s no reason to think
REVIEW: Wolverine and the X-Men #1 (X-Men Regenesis)
Marvel’s X-Men: Regenesis began in full this week with the introduction of the new ongoing series Wolverine and the X-Men from writer Jason Aaron and artist Chris Bachalo. Aaron detailed the split within in the X-Men that serves as the foundation for this series over the Summer in the pages of X-Men: Schism and Bachalo
New York Comic Con 2011 X-Men: Regenesis panel
We’ve spent a good bit of time talking about this Fall’s X-Men: Regenesis here at MLD. Lots of changes are in store for the X-line, and the final day of this year’s New York Comic Con saw nearly all of the creators from the titles involved sitting for a panel talking with fans about what to
REVIEW: X-Men Regenesis #1
The X-Men Regenesis #1 one-shot ushers in the post-Schism status quo for Marvel’s mutant heroes that will be introduced across the X-Men line this Fall. We didn’t say much about details of the recently concluded Schism mini-series here at MLD, and much of that had to do with taking a wait-and-see approach after the Prelude to Schism series didn’t connect to it at all. I still enjoyed Prelude,
X-Men: Regenesis begins this November
For the past two weeks, Marvel Comics has been releasing a set of their trademark silhouetted teaser images, this time focusing on the X-Men line. With the promise of big changes to the X-Men’s status quo following the current Schism series by Jason Aaron, these teasers suggest a very different landscape for Marvel’s mutants beyond Cyclops simply
