As announced on Polygon (by former HoxPoxTox editor Susana Polo), there is a new X-Factor book coming from Leah Williams and David BaldeĆ³n. Here’s the pretty cover from Ivan Shavrin. As you can tell, the X-Men portion of Twitter is losing their dang minds. As are we here at Xavier Files. It’s Leah, she is…
Look, there isn’t much to write up here. We all know Mike Del Mundo is one of the best cover artists in the business right now. His dreamlike, flowery compositions are perfect for Krakoa. Now, thanks to Marvel’s Gwen Stacy Variant promotion, we get to see him take a swing at that beautiful mutant island….
The good people at Marvel sent me a .gif showing what God Loves, Man Kills might look like is Marcos Martin drew it instead of Brent Anderson. As I suspected, it continues to be beautiful. These are some variant covers in March if you want them. Otherwise, enjoy the pretty pictures. Press Release New York,…
Here are some of the things Krakoa’s newest resident aren’t: Gwen Stacy Deadpool The Batman Character Spoiler A character with any right to be as good as she is I am, of course, talking about Gwenpool, the alter-ego of Gwendolyn Poole, a comics fan from the real world who accidentally got brought into Marvel’s 616…
Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto are incredibly talented creators. That is without question. What is in question is the fascination with taking a grizzled war vet and making him young and hot. Marvel did it with X-Man in the 90s and they continue to do it will teen Cable. Old Man Cable, of course, was…
All week Marvel has been releasing teasers for a new, secret X-Team. Unfortunately, the teasers have not been needed as some sites got everything right from the start and have no need to dragging things out. We got the final additions to this dysfunctional team today and they are Wild Child and Empath. We, of…
Marvel has been releasing teasers about a dysfunctional X-Men team over the last few days. So far we have Psylocke, Havok, Nanny, and Orphan Maker. I have not be wrong on any of my guesses. Marvel has. Today we got two more Mister Sinister & Scalphunter. We have yet to be wrong, unlike Marvel who…
The Xavier Institute has a long history of, questionable educational accreditation. Regardless of that, Magik is apparently qualified to teach in STRANGE ACADEMY #1. Or maybe not, frankly we have one, out of context image. Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos, no strangers to teams of teens with abilities have created a new cast of kids…
Marvel has been releasing teasers about a dysfunctional X-Men team over the last few days. What we know is this, I guessed all of them right from the start and any deviation from my guesses is a sign that we are in one of the X-Men’s dark futures and we need to find the M’Kraan…
Yesterday, Marvel released a teaser about a dysfunctional X-Men team. It was a move that implies the existence of a functional X-Men team, something scientists have long since agreed was an impossibility. Regardless, we now have a new piece to the puzzle. Psylock and Havok have just be revealed. We previously bet our reputation on…
The X-Men thrive on dysfunction, they live on it. Much like Krakoa eats mutants (which we’ve all kinda just ignored, right?), the X-Men eat a lack of actual teamwork and cohesiveness. Regardless, Marvel thinks they have put together the most dysfunctional team I could possibly imagine. Marvel, try me. The file read “Classified X”, which…
You all know Magneto. He is arguably the most well known X-Men character outside of Wolverine. He requires no preamble. He’s getting a spotlight issue by Ben Oliver & Jonathan Hickman. Oliver has been away from comics for a while but jumped at the chance to work with Johnny Hix saying “I’ve long been a…
The most talked about moment in New Mutants #1 [Ed. Note: Which we talked about here] was the promise of more Murd Blurdock. Murd was a character who appeared on two beautiful pages of Al Ewing and Adam Gorham’s Rocket series. He’s a Daredevil joke and a very funny one. Anyway, Jonathan Hickman & Rod…
For the last few years, Marvel’s podcast Marvel’s Voices has been highlighting the diverse viewpoints of the organizations creators. Now, that project is expanding into a new one-shot lead by X-Office Editor Chris Robinson. Marvel’s Voices #1 is a one-shot anthology celebrating the diverse creators and characters in the Marvel Universe. For readers of this…
In what has turned into a jam packed Friday morning, Marvel has announced three new X-Related titles. First off is the return of GIANT-SIZE X-MEN, the classic titled that kicked off the all-new, all-different, and commercially successful era of the X-Books back in 1975. This will be an ongoing series written by Jonathan Hickman with…
