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
Start Panicking
Mark did his usual this week and answered some fan questions. First we have a sneak peak of something from X-MEN: RED, perhaps the Annual?
Yeah, will get as many of your letters in as we can. Again, everyone, thanks for the support! And while it’s not #xmenmonday here’s a snippet of something cool that will be announced soon! @TravisCharest pic.twitter.com/ga9Gm9MHSH

Speaking of that Annual, we have some art from it.
After #PhoenixResurrection before #XMenRed.
Happy to say we’re doing an X-Men Red annual set in the moments of Jean Grey’s return.
Variant cover by the great @arthuradamsart. Interior art by Pascal Alixe.

Plus Tom Taylor took his advice and shared some RED
Because @MarkPaniccia said I should, here’s a non-spoilery image from our 2nd issue of #XMenRed for #XMenMonday.#JeanGrey, #Wolverine and #Nightcrawler in #Wakanda.

Anyway, Panic let NEW X-MEN fans know they shouldn’t get too excited for a retun of that series.
too early to say

He also let fans know that one of like 16 characters could be coming back. Way to narrow it down my dude.
The #MAGICXBALL says…………………………………..”maybe”!!!
— Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) February 19, 2018
He gave us an evocative description of the team appearing in X-MEN: BLUE.
These guys? Just Bad @$$!!! @cullenbunn @jorge_molinam pic.twitter.com/6wHU23wnzC

He let a friend of the site known where we can find Jubilee (besides BISH & JUBEZ every Monday right here)
She’s going to be one of the cast members in HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: MYSTERY IN MADRIPOOR written by @JimZub and illustrated by @ShadeX6 but don’t fret…we’ve got plans for her after that!!! Keep your eyes open for clues.

Got an answer about the relationship potential between Jean & Gambit (thank God for this answer)
Eeeeeeew! Jean has only ONE true love, ya know!!! But…maybe she WOULD be attracted to those red eyes. Hmmmmm
— Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) February 19, 2018
Jean and Capt is both more and less pallettable for different reasons.
Jean has only ONE true love! But…hmmmmmmmm Cap and Jean? They WOULD make a good couple, I need to–WAIT!!! She has only ONE true love!!! But apparently y’all have some ideas. Sigh…go ahead…let ’em fly. Who would YOU like to see Jean date?

Panic showed SOMEONE awesome art from ASTONISHING X-MEN #9. This question asker seems very cool and attractive.
1) Yes!
2) Hmmmm
3) Color art from #ASTONISHINGXMEN #9 by @CharlesSoule #matteobuffagni and @LGiadaMarchisio This issue is f**king creepy. Seriously. Charles, you have one dark mind lol pic.twitter.com/tWL3Yq5hVE— Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) February 19, 2018
We got confirmation that plans are in the works for two fan-favorite mutants.
I’m a big fan of #BISHOP. There are definitely some plans in the works for both him and Dani

This one guy apparently missed the memo about Jamie coming back but can’t accept that the X-Offices are giving Cyclops a break.
#MAGICXBALL says “a sign comes soon that will give you an answer…but not to all your questions”
— Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) February 19, 2018
And for fans who have been missing the art for the last few weeks, Panic has something coming.
I’ll see what I can do

The Hunt for Redd’s Weird Stalker
Wolverine is coming back (insert joke about how Laura didn’t go anywhere) and he is already back to being in a ton of books. The HUNT FOR WOLVERINE writers shared some details about their upcoming series and hint that more could be on its way.
Each mini has its own genre feel and vibe – and while each stands on its own and is a great story in its own right, they also provide major clues for what’s actually going on with Logan.
— Charles Soule (@CharlesSoule) February 13, 2018
I structured this as a huge mystery, with reveals, red herrings, clues major and minor, misdirects… it’s designed to keep you guessing, but slowly pull the curtain back on what I think is a pretty fantastic adventure.
— Charles Soule (@CharlesSoule) February 13, 2018
So… that’s the story – or, part of it, anyway. I mean, if this is Phase Two, I wonder if there’s a Phase Three?
— Charles Soule (@CharlesSoule) February 13, 2018
As you can see on the cover, this mini-series is jam-packed with wonderful characters: Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Jubilee, Domino (and more) in a city of mystery and murder. Surprises and revelations aplenty.

Shhh. Super-sneaky peek of #SpiderMan completely overreacting to something with #JessicaJones and #LukeCage, in a panel from our just announced ‘Hunt for Wolverine: Adamantium Agenda’ miniseries.
