http://www.newsarama.com/22395-nycc-2014-marvel-s-x-men-death-of-wolverine-the-logan-legacy-panel-live.html

Bendis confirmed that Ultimate Kitty Pryde will have a big impact in the All New X-Men Ultimate Visit. I wonder if that is a reference to her growing powers, if she still has that James Howlett will fight X23.  More hints that one of the team will stay behind.

Uncanny X-Men, sounds like Cyclops recruits Matthew Malloy but may lose some of his other recruits.

The Annuals dealing with what happened to Tempus, sounds like she is going to do some time traveling.  She will meet Killraven, who Bendis used for a bit when he relaunched Avengers properly.  She will also meet X-Men 2099, who I have no real experience with.

I can’t believe Wolverine dies on Wednesday, after months of build up.  Logan Legacy, I’m only scheduled to get the first X23 issue as Kitty was seen in the Preview art.

A weekly Wolverines weekly series is set to launch in January.  Seems silly to me as Marvel couldn’t even keep Death of Wolverine as a weekly series.  Does sound cool with the guest stars.  This couldn’t be one of those 52 issue weekly series that DC successfully produces?  If Kitty shows up, I will pick it up.

A slew of Post-Death of Wolverine one shots and miniseries, makes me suspect that I am not really much of a Wolverine fan.

If the Storm Death of Wolverine issues are as good as Nightcrawler’s one issue, I might be tempted to get those.  Not sure if one of them will be flashback heavy, but that would be preferred to me.

I wonder if we are going to see Magik at all during this Juggernaut arc of Amazing X-Men, at least in the flashbacks.  I’m going to have to keep an eye out for that.

The Cup of Joe Panel had the news I crave!  I’ve been mentioning that Marvel has enough cosmic titles, that they could do a fast crossover.  I even joked to go old-school and do bookend one shots.  Now, we are getting Black Vortex.  Which is currently being set up in Legendary Star Lord.  I stated I wasn’t that interested before and it would take something to get me hyped for it.  Now, here is that something.

They are billing it as a Guardians of the Galaxy / X-Men crossover.  The titles involved are – Legendary Star Lord / Guardians of the Galaxy / Captain Marvel / Nova / All New X-Men, plus two one shots makes seven issues.  I thought Cyclops would get involved and that could lead to him rejoining All New X-Men, especially as they are leaving someone behind in the Ultimate Universe visit.

Bendis hints that we might get Cosmic Kitty Pryde.  He also hinted at, over in a Comic Book Resources article, that Kitty will be undergoing a change in the upcoming Demon Hunters arc of Uncanny X-Men.  2015 should be a banner year for Ms. Pryde.

Quill and Pryde’s relationship is going to be tested.  Also, the Brood are returning in Black Vortex.  Hopefully Lockheed is involved in this crossover.

Once the New / Avengers Time Running Out leads straight to Secret Wars.

Some decent Questions for once.

The Ultimate Universe is going to be involved with Secret Wars, which we knew as Miles Morales was shown in the Secret Wars image.  Further hints that the final Incursion will involved the Ultimate Earth and the Proper Marvel Earth.

The Netflix series all take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Great quote from Dan Buckley – Every story in every book is leading to Secret Wars.

Entertainment Weekly had a great interview with Sam Humphries, where he goes into great detail about Black Vortex.  It does seem to be his brainchild.

The official order is – Alpha / Guardians of the Galaxy / All New X-Men / Nova / Captain Marvel / Legendary Star Lord / Omega.  I only haven’t read Captain Marvel in this current era of titles.

Black Vortex starts in February 2015, can’t wait!

Is it just me, or does the Black Vortex logo seem like it is ripped from Ninja Turtles?

Daredevil panel sounds like it had some cool footage.  Still no release date, so we stand still on sometime May 2015.  Won’t be the first, as that is Avengers 2.

Rosario Dawson will be a Night Nurse, and not Elektra.

Sounds like Jeph Loeb has the order of shows – Daredevil / Jessica Jones / Iron Fist / Luke Cage / Defenders, so exciting!

My only problem is that the costume they show is straight from

Trial of the Incredible Hulk

1989 Daredevil Trial of Incredible Hulkjpg

Netflix

2015 Daredevil Netflix

Must be on purpose, right?  Probably just an homage and his first trial suit, then he will don the red suit.  I’m hoping

http://www.newsarama.com/22372-nycc-2014-marvel-75th-crafting-the-marvel-event-w-brian-bendis-kurt-busiek-jim-starlin-and-more-live.html

Nice Bendis rundown of all of his events he has a role in.  Hadn’t thought about it before but he has headline the most events of any creator, pretty impressive.  Also nice that Kurk Busiek and JM DeMatteis were on the panel!

Bendis references 22 Ways to End the Clone Saga, which I totally bought and adored!  A bunch of inside baseball but I feel like I recognized most names and positions and was able to follow it.

http://www.newsarama.com/22371-nycc-2014-marvel-75th-x-men-w-len-wein-chris-claremont-many-more-live.html

This is a panel I wish I could see with all of these legends!  Rick Leonardi, Fabian Nicieza, Walt Simonson, Louise Simonson, Chris Claremont, Len Wein!

Nice that Walt got to tell the story of why he did Uncanny X-Men 171.  Probably so Paul Smith could catch up with the rest of the run.

It was mostly a retread of things people have said already but if they released this on DVD, I would buy a copy.  Or at least, plan on buying it eventually!

The Saturday Wolverine panel is where all of the news will come from or the Cup of Joe panel

http://www.newsarama.com/22373-marvel-comics-teases-no-more-mutants-to-retailers.html

There will be an Avengers story called, No More Mutants.  I like the idea of Marvel having fun with the idea that people are under the impress that the X-Men (as a concept) is going to be shelved due to FOX having the movie rights.  I don’t like the idea of them actually doing it, so I’m cautious and skeptical.

We got confirmation that the X-Men will be heavily involved in Secret Wars 2015 (not sure if its III or IV – as there was a Deadpool story that billed itself as Secret Wars III), so that’s a good thing.

Looks like I’ll be buying whatever that image is eventually used as it is an homage of Uncanny X-Men 141.

X-Men No More Mutants January 2015

http://www.newsarama.com/22382-nycc-2014-marvel-animation-presents-live.html

Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon test footage within the link!  It looks pretty good.  Now that we cancelled our Cable and went Hulu Plus, we no longer have the Disney channels, which I forgot I was getting hyped for Spider-Verse in animated form.  How awesome would it be if Guardians could continue Kitty Pryde and Peter Quill’s relationship in animated form?  That would be incredible!  I also just want to get Walker Dennis a plush Groot and Rocket!

Still no announcement about Pet Avengers the Animated Series.  One of these years, we’ll get it!

http://www.newsarama.com/22367-more-2015-marvel-secret-wars-details-image.html

At first, I wasn’t going to write about this as I didn’t think it was going to be X-Men related.  Which is silly as the X-Men played important roles in the previous two series.  Marvel has announced that in 2015, we are getting a new Secret Wars!

The creative team will be Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic.  Which tells me this wasn’t going to be fun like the first Secret Wars.  I bet it will be philosophy heavy like the second one tries to be.

There was also the thought that this would be like Brian Michael Bendis / Gabriele Dell’otto 2004’s Secret War, that just shared a similar title.  Especially as both artists are painters.

Then the second article came out.  Now it just seems like Spider-verse, but with the Avengers.  I like seeing MC2’s American Dream but like how Newsarama pointed out, no X-Men are present.

I do wonder if this is going to tie into the movies fourth wave, Avengers IV : Secret Wars.  With the recent announcement of Sony and Marvel working on a deal so that Spider-Man can be in the Marvel films, this would be a worthy enough name for such an event.  Maybe even try to work with FOX to get Hugh Jackman as Wolverine like how he wanted to do it last year.

The lack of X-Men is disappointing but it is only one image and two stories within a few hours but these are my initial thoughts.

If the Sinister Six film bombs, then that gives Marvel more leverage in the deal, which is an odd head space for two companies to have.  Just pull the trigger on the deal.  But I’m a guy who still hasn’t seen Amazing Spider-Man 2, so I may be part of the problem.

There are two X-Men panels at NYCC this year, so I am excited about those.

NYCC 2013 : X-Men Panel

M is joining the X-Men title.  I like whenever a member of the junior team joins the big leagues.

X23 is joining All New X-Men, and going to start making out with Young Cyclops.  That should prove something for those slash writers.

Uncanny is dealing with Inhumanity, hopefully we find out if Kitty is staying with this title.

Wolverine’s Killable arc ends in December.  Hopefully his healing factor stays gone or at least limited to 80s levels.  Hopefully, Kitty sticks around for the rest of the arc.

X-Men Legacy has big things coming.

Both X-Forces are meeting up, and I have no interest.

All New X-Men crossing over with Guardians of the Galaxy, almost like they both have movies coming out next year.  All the Original Five are sticking around too, which takes the sails out of Battle of the Atom.  If Kitty is still not with the cast, then I am done with that title.  The Original Five all get new uniforms, and they look super padded.  Which is good as we don’t want any time hiccups.

All New X-Factor, poor Peter David can’t escape that title.  Decent cast, Gambit with both Quicksilver and Polaris.  Which those two haven’t been on a team since Polaris has been full on officially Magneto’s daughter.  That should be interesting.  Plus three more unnamed characters, one red hooded, one blonde and a third person.
