Every Monday Senior X-Men Editor Mark Paniccia answers fans questions and shares cool new art from the X-Line. We’ll be here compiling all those hints in one place, alongside the rest of the best stuff in X-Men Social media, so you don’t have to worry about missing a single second of it. This is #XMENMONDAY Round-Up
Honey Badger Don’t Care
Mark kicked off the week with a great teaser of Honey Badger and Deadpool. ALL-NEW WOLVERINE writer Tom Taylor followed up with more.
HAPPY #XMENMONDAY! Wanted to start with this adorbs scene from #ALLNEWWOLVERINE #31 with #DEADPOOL and #HONEYBADGER pic.twitter.com/8o5uArvH3F

A sneak peek for #XMENMONDAY.
Honey Badger and her best friend Deadpool together again (with Jonathan the Actual Wolverine) in All-New Wolverine #31 – out in February.
Love this issue.

Living Weapons
We also got a look at WEAPON X #17 with some beautiful line work and what looks like Omega Red. He was dead last I checked (EDIT: Editor Chris Robinson reminded me that Omega Red survived his arc in X-MEN: GOLD and clarified that this is the classic flavor Red) but I’m also like 100% sure there are two Omega Red’s running around right now.

A fan shared some great Polaris art which prompted Mark to let everyone know what is going on with her right now.
HAPPY #XMENMONDAY!!! @MarkPaniccia @TomTaylorMade @MahmudAsrar One team member for #XMenRED is still kept as secret! So I decided to make some #fanart with #Polaris as X-Men RED team member. I hope you will like art and costume redesign?#XMEN #GIFTED #Marvel #Comics #LornaDane pic.twitter.com/78u1vbReF9

WOW!!! That’s really cool!!! There were no plans for Polaris to be on RED but maybe there’s an X-MEN GREEN in our future (kidding!). I would love to find her a permanent team home but you can find her doing kick ass stuff in @cullenbunn‘s #XMENBLUE

This doesn’t make it sound like the new team in BLUE will be a long-term thing but we will see. Speaking of which…
Venomized
X-MEN: BLUE writer Cullen Bunn had some news about shakeups in his book.
Glad you liked it. That epilogue, by the way, sets some big stuff into motion. https://t.co/TtO7964iBW

With upcoming CHAMPIONS writer Jim Zub saying this about other X-Men taking Scott’s place on that team.
Seven characters on the team right now so we’ll stick with that to start, but there is potential for future shake-ups. https://t.co/Lo3zJEpo7X

She-Shattybuns
Shatterstar creator and DEADPOOL: BADDER BLOOD writer and artist Rob Liefeld showed a sketch of the newest addition to X-Men canon. Her name is Shatterstorm. It might be a brand new character or it might be Storm in Shatterstar cosplay. We’ll find out soon enough.

Odds, Ends
The Japanese powerhouse studio Gurihuiru showed off some neat process work from their beautiful JEAN GREY variant. According to my browser translating this for me the tweets read:
【Announcement】 I was in charge of the variant cover of “Jean Gray # 11”! It is on sale on January 31 in North America. Thank you very much. I wonder how many years I have drawn X-Men characters.
The rough draft is like this. Edited by a request that I want to make the fire bird more tight and smaller
ラフ案はこんな感じ。編集さんから火の鳥はもっとギュッとタイトにして欲しいとの要望で小さくなりました? pic.twitter.com/FwNivUjYYC

I’m sure that’s like 70% wrong.
And GENERATION X artist Amilcar Pinna showed us some of the initial sketches for the book.
I was digging through some of my files here and I find some studies for Gen X <3 Some of them are from the very beginning, just to start get the mood pic.twitter.com/YGNcYjscu0
