Look, it’s the end of the day and I’m 90% writing this just so I can Tweet the headline and spite all the folks calling the X-Men evil now. There’s a neat trailer with cool art for X-MEN #1. I read it, it rules, you should buy it tomorrow. But don’t believe me, watch this…

This is spinning out of the current ABSOLUTE CARNAGE event and will be a one-shot. This book deals with Ravencroft’s past, which explains…

On October 16th, 2019 Marvel Comics will release X-MEN #1. This will be the 5th comic to be called X-Men #1 (not counting things like the Taco Bell or Stridex promo comics which also bore that name).

Note: This essay, published in 2019, has been updated to reflect that Grant Morrison is commonly referred to by they/them pronouns.
