Reminding people that no one really cares about The Eternals, Marvel Editor-In-Cheif CB Cebulski announced that Jonathan Hickman will relaunch the X-Line this July. There will be two bi-weekly 6 issue minis called HOUSE OF X with art by Pepe Laraz & Marte Garcia and POWERS OF X (“ten”) with art by RB Silva & Marte Garcia. There is a very good promo piece by Mark Brooks. I have a 1/200 print of it for dunking on X-Fans at the panel. It was good.
Anyway, Magik is a Colossus and Bill the Lobster is back so I am here for it. Here is the press release they sent out.
Press Release
New York, NY — March 23, 2019 — After weeks of speculation from comic book fans around the world, Marvel revealed the next monumental chapter for the X-Men during this year’s Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. During Marvel’s Next Big Thing Panel, critically-acclaimed creator Jonathan Hickman (Fantastic Four, The Avengers, Infinity, Secret Wars) announced two new series:HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X, beginning this July!
Ever since Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced the X-Men, fans everywhere have followed the extraordinary stories of the X-Men through seminal moments like Giant-Size X-Men, 1991’s X-Men #1, Age of Apocalypse, and New X-Men. Each of these moments introduced a new era for mutantkind – and starting this summer, the world will experience the next seminal moment in the history of the X-Men with HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X.
“We are excited to have Jon back with the Marvel family, and we could not have asked for a better creative team to help usher the X-Men into a whole new era,” said Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski. “While we can’t reveal too much about the story just yet, these new stories will redefine the X-Men and their place in the Marvel Universe. This is a historic moment both new and passionate fans won’t want to miss.”
These two new series – written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Young Gun Pepe Larraz, R.B. Silva, and colorist Marte Garcia – will build from every major X-Men milestone since 1963 up through the current X-Men series and storylines fans know and love, including some of Marvel’s most iconic characters from over the decades. Each series will be released on an alternate weekly schedule, starting with HOUSE OF X, followed by POWERS OF X. Fans will be able to follow along each week this summer and witness history unfold.
HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X will go on sale this July!
