I’ve been wanting to keep track of the conspiracy news about Marvel maybe doing away with the X-Men due to the FOX Movie Rights issue. I’ve been looking for a website that had all of these in one spot but I didn’t see any, so once again – I have to make the Internet have what I’m looking for.
ComicBook.com – Licensing

Bleeding Cool – who will be dominating this post – No X-Men in Marvel Mighty Heroes
Bleeding Cool – Marvel 2015 doesn’t include any X-Men nor Fantastic Four (FOX has their movie rights too)

Forbes – Breaking that XM Studios Premium Collectables can no longer make X-Men nor Fantastic Four statues
Bleeding Cool – X-Men and Fantastic Four no longer part of Secret Wars, according to t-shirts
Which does link to the CompleX thread over at Comic Book Resources’ forum, which actually keeps track of all of this. With a slew of posts in-between the evidence so I guess I’m attempting to have a cleaner version.

Bleeding Cool News – Second Marvel Secret Wars Shirt to remove X-Men and Fantastic Four

Beezzi, a poster of Comic Book Resources, has this awesome document that has essentially what I was attempting to do
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qiQAw0-bPz1nPH-xsuEf5G24_-wa8Yeb7C5-iu6fdYY/edit
But now I’m compiled my own list so I guess I will keep track of what I come across. Beezzi’s document takes the pressure off.
Even once I post this, I will keep track of stories that are released. I’m not sure where it ends, as even if the X-Men get 20 titles Post-Secret Wars 2015, people will still not be convinced. I guess it will end once FOX loses the movie rights but I doubt that will ever happen. Why would it?
Though why Marvel doesn’t just release merchandise with the comic book versions of the characters – as that is what I want to throw money down for – is beyond me. I just want to decorate Walker Dennis’ room with X-Men items but Disney / Marvel doesn’t want me to do that.
