Marvel’s X-Men: Age of X
The latest X-Men event, Age of X, introduces a new world and new history for Marvel’s mutants where nothing can be taken for granted. What you knew was wrong and a world without the X-Men is a very dark place.
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 6 (New Mutants #24)
Mike Carey’s Age of X crossover running through X-Men: Legacy and New Mutants wrapped up today. Most of the pieces of the X-Men’s world seem to have been put back where they belong after being warped into a dark reflection of the Marvel Universe. The action in the concluding chapter is straightforward, but there are
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 5 (X-Men: Legacy #247)
Mike Carey’s wild ride through the Age of X is coming to a close at the end of the month, and Chapter Five (also known as X-Men: Legacy #247) was firing on all cylinders. We get a lot of answers, but it’s still unclear exactly how the mutants are going to set things right. At
- REVIEW: Age of X Universe #1
I was looking forward to this book, but my level of enjoyment still took me by surprise. Writer Simon Spurrier did some great X-Men work recently on the Smoke and Blood one-shot during the Curse of the Mutants vampire event. That issue featured the X-Men’s science team (the X-Club) and as I really enjoy those
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 4 (New Mutants #23)
Age of X: Chapter 4 hit the shelves yesterday and it’s another fantastic installment of Mike Carey’s mysterious X-Men saga. Within its pages, we finally learn what happened to the world we know, but the revelation is so over the top crazy that it only raises new questions about who could have done it and how.
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 3 (X-Men: Legacy #246)
Marvel’s Age of X hit the midway point this week with the release of X-Men: Legacy #246. The mystery of this strange new world deepens and we see some heavy hitters step into the foreground. The book is a solid 4 out of 5 and writer Mike Carey’s latest X-Men masterpiece is really commanding my
- MMXI: Marvel’s Year of the X-Men begins this May
When Marvel’s May solicitations appeared earlier this month a group of books were very conspicuous by their absence. Four X-Men titles (Uncanny X-Men, X-Men: Legacy, New Mutants, and Uncanny X-Force) had no listings and it was clear that something was up. Last week Marvel released a set of teaser images for these titles and they’re
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 2 (New Mutants #22)
Age of X: Chapter 2 shipped side by side with Chapter 1 last week and while I’m confused by this publishing decision, I did enjoy the instant gratification. After what felt like a long time waiting for these books after the information blitz leading up to the series, I’m very satisfied with how things are
- REVIEW: Age of X: Chapter 1 (X-Men: Legacy #245)
I can’t understand Marvel’s publishing schedule at all sometimes. The Age of X Alpha one-shot that started this crossover shipped on January 26th and nearly a full month passed before we saw Chapters 1 and 2 last week with both shipping on February 23rd. After all the hype surrounding this event with weekly Historical Logs
- Age of X: Alpha #1 review
It’s a snow day for most here in Philadelphia, but comics still made it into readers’ hands and The X-Men’s Age of X started this week with Age of X: Alpha #1. The one-shot is an anthology book by series writer Mike Carey covering the history of five characters in this new timeline where the X-Men
- Age of X: Pregame
Marvel’s latest X-Men event, Age of X, begins this week and I really couldn’t be more excited about it. I’ve had a lot to say about it here on MLD, and all of it can be accessed, along with reviews and reactions to each installment going forward, at our Age of X hub. Despite all
- Marvel unveils Age of X: Alpha cover art
Earlier this week Marvel released the artwork for two different cover images for Age of X: Alpha, the kick off to next year’s Age of X event by Mike Carey. The cover images were drawn by Oliver Coipel and Chris Bachalo respectively and give some new glimpses into what’s to come.
- Marvel’s viral history of the Age of X
While reading this week’s Generation Hope #2 from Marvel, I came across the Age of X advertisement that has been running for the past few weeks. This time, thing’s were a little different as the image now contained the tag line “What You Know Is Wrong!” along with a QR (quick response) bar code with
- Marvel’s Age of X
Last month, Marvel started planting the seeds for an X-Men event beginning in early 2011 called Age of X. Around the time of the New York Comic Con, a teaser image featuring blacked out figures was released from the publisher to get the speculation started. During the X-Men panel at NYCC, hints that Age of
