Marvel’s X-Men Panel at SXSW 2024

Thanks to Marvel Entertainment for hosting their own video.

Huge THANKS to LaughingPlace.com for being at the panel. Their coverage made it possible for me to follow along.

I said earlier in the day, whoever has content from the panel, will get a follow from me, and that’s what I did.

So the big BIG announcement was that the Post-Krakoan Era is going to be called “From the Ashes” – which I still don’t love, as that’s a sacred title associated with my all time favorite fun of X-Men, the Paul Smith/Bob Wiacek era, but here we are.

We are getting three main teams –

Gail Simone & David Marquez on Uncanny X-Men, the clear main team

The Roster is going to be – Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Logan, and Jubilee.

So a pretty classic lineup, and if any fans of the new X-Men 97 cartoon, want a comic, this is the comic for them.

This team’s adventures will be set in Louisiana, so we can expect some Thieves Guild, but what I’m really excited about is the family dynamics of Rogue and Nightcrawler together.

plus, Gail Simone is clearly the head writer of this new era, and I love fun in my comics, so I’m hoping this is a fun new era. I’m sure there will be dark and dreary moments, but I’m hoping there’s at least an element of fun.

Marquez is quite the artist as well, so we’re in good hands.

The only problem is that . . . besides Nightcrawler and the creative team, its a team I don’t have any stakes in.

Also, how great that Uncanny is back! Especially now that we have issue 700.

. . .

The second team is my second favorite.

X-Men, written by Jed MacKay and drawn by Ryan Stegman.

The roster is Cyclops, Magik, NuOld Beast, Psylocke, Magneto, Juggernaut, Oya, and Kid Omega.

I really wish we got Magik on the third title, but then this title would be missable for me as well, but I do love it when Cyclops and Magik are together, those two are great together.

MacKay is on a career high with his Avengers run, a beloved Black Cat run, and an upcoming giant vampire theme company wide crossover, Blood Hunt. Which Magik has a one shot involved, but that is being brought to us by Ashley Allen and Jesús Hervás. But I had the thought it would be a good place to see MacKay handle Magik, but we’ll get there.

I find it interesting that Magneto is in a chair, we’re to make the connection to Xavier in a chair. Cyclops and Magneto are also a great pair, we are only missing Emma or this would be a reunion of the Bendis’ Uncanny X-Men team.

Juggernaut with a giant X on his helmet, I guess so you know where he’s hitting you when he’s charging at you?

Oya being on a main team feels like this is long overdue. Changing her name to, Temper, seems like a horrible back step, for multiple reasons. One obvious one, is that she went from a very unique name to a very copyright unfriendly name, but there’s plenty Marvel’s Temper like characters, so that’s an easy fix.

Quentin Quire is my least favorite character in all of these lineups, but I do like him when paired with Oya, so I guess they already figured that out.

This team will take place in Alaska, so that’s great for Scott, maybe he’ll visit his grandparents more often now?

. . .

Then we finally get to my absolute favorite title of the relaunch :

Exceptional X-Men!

Written by Eve L. Ewing, who I’m not familiar with, but have been recommended her Champions run, and Black Panther runs. As well as her poetry is supposed to very good.

Drawn by Carmen Carnero, who I’m also not familiar with, but from what I’ve seen, is very talented.

I also adore that this is a female creative team writing a mostly female lead roster, so that feels great too.

The Roster is – Shadowkate, Emma Frost, and three new mutants, but not New Mutants – Bronze, Axo, and Melee.

two of those names the copyright office must have really loved – but its hard to come up with original names.

took a new twitter friend to point out that this new design for Kate Pryde is very X-Men Evolution coded.

I kept saying its her original basic yellow suit, but blue, as a homage to her Excalibur coloring . . . but just writing X-Men Evolution is so much faster. That, and I never thought about her Evolution costume being her trainee uniform, but blue.

but it totally is, and just being blue, makes me not even think of it as a trainee uniform, but instead, her own unique uniform.

We’ve seen it before in the Women of Marvel V5 1 comic as well :

and it looks great every time I see it.

When Emma Frost comes to Fortnite, I hope they use that hoverboard of hers as her glider. Seems so silly to include, that there’s only one explanation for it, she’s coming to Fortnite.

There was a fan survey sent out recently that asked which X-Men people would be interested in, and the options were Cyclops, Magneto, and Colossus. Two of those makes sense to me, and I’ll probably play Fortnite again for a season if they even brought one new mutant to the game, or even one New Mutant. I love this joke.

If I had to get Colossus, I’ll probably make a series of videos, using each one of my emotes, and have him land somewhere, and emote until he was eliminated. Maybe that’ll make for a better live stream?

Issue starts with Kate becoming a barista (really putting that Mekanix bartending skills to good use), trying to get away from the mutant nonsense (that will only last for the first few pages of the title), then has to protect these three new mutants, and then gets assistance from Emma Frost.

So it is nature’s best friends, Kate and Emma, teaching, which I’m already sold on.

I really wish Lockheed had made it to the promo art, or any of the promo art. It is the only thing giving me pause, but also, I’m fully committed to Exceptional X-Men.

Also, a very fun new adjective for the X-Men to have.

Their stories will take place in Chicago, so I love how the X-Men are scattered, and I imagine that is because the X-Office wants to make it so you don’t feel compelled to get every single title, you can get what you want, and there’s no pressure to get everything.

. . .

Which is great, as we’re not just getting three titles, we’re getting all of the titles!

Phoenix, Storm, and Wolverine are all getting solos. From the Women in Marvel oneshot, it appears Storm will be going on a press tour, so no more Queen of Arakko – which really, anything would be a step down from Queen of Mars so a press tour is at least something.

I really love the return of those classic logos.

NYX is a confusing title to bring back, as I only remember it as Joe Quesada’s comic he wrote himself, that was Laura Kinney’s first official comic book appearance, and he made the ‘brilliant’ choice to make her a sex worker who cut herself.

So instead of bringing those memories back, a more friendly District X title could have been nice, but maybe it is a copyright issue? That’s why we got so many New Mutants miniseries and such, as Marvel has to keep that title published x amount of years or lose the rights to it.

I’m going to guess that this is going to be the New York team of X-Men, with maybe Laura as the lead, and maybe Ms. Marvel too? Or is her time with the X-Office over?

I made the comparison to the Avengers Initiative, where they have an official Avengers team in every state, and this launch is like that, but with the X-Men, they could actually make 50 titles (most of them one shots), and I wonder which X-Men will be on the Arizona and Montana teams.

Arizona – Rachel Summers and Betsy

Montana – Outlaw

were the first ones to come to mind

I had to look it up :

Avengers Initiative Arizona was the Desert Stars – Two-Gun Kid, Komodo, Blacksmith, Johnny Cool, and Supermax.

Avengers Initiative Montana was Freedom Force (heck yeah!) – Challenger, Cloud 9, Equinox, Think Tank, and Spinner.

Then we have X-Factor and X-Force, and a slew of all star X-Men that are still unaccounted for, so at least 16 to 20 mutants will make up those two rosters.

July 2024 is when the three flagship titles come out, then maybe the rest in August?

Free Comic Book Day 2024 is May 4, 2024, and will be the second look at this new era, after the epilogue in X-Men V6 35, which is also Uncanny X-Men 700 (for some reason – should have just called it Uncanny X-Men 700)

So I’ll be taking the family up to Kelly’s Comics in Great Falls, ideally early, and devouring the comic.

which of course, ends the Krakoan Age, and hopefully, not the last we see of Lockheed.

. . .

From the trailer, Jubilee starts a hand gesture with what looks like Mercury, who does a response gesture :

I cannot get my middle fingers to want to do the Jubilee M, and I can barely do the response one, so I have to get better at that as I want to be a mutant ally.

I also like how we have co-opted the Spider-Man web fingers. He’s had it uncontested for too long.

Also from the trailer, the Xavier Mansion is rebuilt, and this time, is a prison for someone in the basement, Inmate X. Who has to be Xavier, right?

. . .

What are you, dear reader, most excited about?

I’ll be curious to see how long we get these titles before there is a crossover, issue six? issue twelve?

The first run of Krakoan Age comics all had great lengths, so I’m hoping we get to at least issue 25 before we get new number ones.

Rogue Logan Part Four of Four

Then.  The Danger Room of the Jean Grey School.

Beast is supervising a session with Wolverine.  Wolverine is keeping the creator of his armor a secret.  Beast thinks it is excellent. Wolverine is fighting robots, angrily.  Beast shuts the session off, he is concerned.  Jubilee and Storm enter the room, making Logan that much madder.

Later on, Logan is packing a bag.  Storm confronts him, she doesn’t want him to leave.  He doesn’t feel safe there, with a kiss, he is done with the school and the X-Men.

On his way out the door, Beast makes an announcement that everyone should get to the driveway and say their goodbyes to one of the best.  Beast really is the worst.

Only eight people make it outside, out of the hundreds of students at the school.  That seems about right.

Now.  We see a room filled with the armors.  Wolverine makes a comment about how easy the armor is to recreate.  Offer comes in as Logan is putting on the armor.  I like how he has to put it on in bulky pieces, like it really is armor and not cloth.

Offer has a plan to slightly annoy Sabretooth.  Once they know what Sabretooth is after, Offer wants to get in his way, a little.  Wolverine is down with that idea.

Then.  The New Charles Xavier School for Mutants.

Logan is outside, shouting for Kitty to come out.  The students hope they don’t let him in, he seems crazed.  Nice that Stegman and Baldeon get to draw most if the known student body of both schools in one issue.  Not sure which artist draws which sections.

Wolverine V5 4 Kitty 1

Kitty finally comes out.  They go to her office, or at least, an office.  Why can’t it be hers?

Kitty wants Logan to apologize for his actions from the last volume.  He is shock, why should he apologize?

Oh, I don’t know, for going after Sabretooth with no support besides Kitty.  Falling for such an obvious trap.  For getting twelve bystanders killed.  Kitty makes some great points.

Kitty is also disappointed that Logan is running away instead of taking any responsibility.

Wolverine pops his claws and has the ever-loving nerve to threaten Kitty.  She isn’t scared, almost goading him to attack her.  He is crazed!  Also, there appears to be a pearl necklace, and I had to go back to the previous page to figure out it is his dog tags.  Slightly distracting.

There is an ad for Agents of SHIELD, meet the Cellist.  Who will be played by Amy Acker, who I just love from Persons of Interest.  I really need more Amy Acker in my life.

Kitty practicality dares Wolverine to kill her.  He is sweating so much over her, that sweat starts falling on her face.  Friendship is over.

He rides his motorcycle away, embarrassed.  She feels sorry for the animal in man’s clothing.

Then we get the scene that explains away the shocking end of the first issue.  Wolverine didn’t kill a real person, just a LMD, Life Model Decoy.

As lame of a reveal as it is, I do like the two pages that show the organization chart and how the red line border becomes a heart beat monitor line.  That is a very well done graphic.

Wolverine sleeps on a bench for two days.  Offer makes him a deal.

Issue ends in present as Wolverine is with his gang, ready for their next move.

Not a bad opening arc.  I wonder if Kitty will keep either appearing or being mentioned.  If so, I will still be buying it.

Rogue Logan Part One of Four

I own this issue as Kitty is mentioned in it.  Before that, this stuff happened :

Now.  Wolverine is on a mission to rescue one of Sabretooth’s Hand ninja.  Accompanying Wolverine are the members of Offer’s gang.

Lost Boy has a sentence tattooed on his chest – I fight evil with evil.

They get to a door. Fuel supercharges one of Wolverine’s claws as Pinch makes out with Logan, at the same time.

They fight off a load of guards once Wolverine breaks the door open.

Wolverine throws Lost Boy, fastball special style.  I like, as Lost Boy blasts dudes, he says – Pew! Pew!  He is a fun character.

New York City.  We get some background on Offer.  Monkton discusses Offer’s name, and how it isn’t the best name.  Also, Monkton is an agent of Sabretooth’s, brokering the deal.

Wolverine and the gang get to the cell that holds the Hand ninja.  Wolverine opens the door and takes a laser blast to the chest, knocking him out.

Five Weeks Ago.  The Guernica Bar, NYC.  Storm wants Logan to open up about being mortal.  She calls him broken, to which he takes offense.

After the last volume’s end, wherein Sabretooth had beaten Wolverine and scarred him – Beast healed Wolverine.

Victoria Frankenstein shows up, I don’t know her.  She makes it known that Logan being mortal is the talk of the town.  This does not thrill him, having his weakness being known.

Wolverine V5 1 Kitty mention

Outside of the bar, Logan tells Storm that Kitty never visited him.

From there, Black Widow gives Wolverine a gun.

Wolverine and his gang escape the space station that the Hand ninja was jailed.  Wolverine thanks his gang for saving him.

Offer gets Monkton to confess that he doesn’t work for Sabretooth, he really is a reporter for the Daily Bugle.

The gang shows up to the base.  Offer tells Logan, that due to their deal, Logan needs to leave.  I guess Logan has a no killing policy.

Issue ends with Logan being the man who kills Monkton, with a bullet to the head from a gun.

The bullet going through the sound effect, BLAM!, is a nice touch.

Rogue Logan Part Three of Four

Kitty only gets mention in this issue, just like she got mentioned in the first issue of this series.  Which I’m trying to find a copy of so I can verify it for myself but at this point, if the Marvel Database website states she is mentioned, I believe it.  I made a point of checking some series and discovered that I missed a couple issues, including X-Men 10, so I’m trying to locate a copy of that too!

Then.  So last issue, the Superior Spider-Man shoved Wolverine off a ledge.  It was awesome.  Before Wolverine can land on his head, SpOck webs his foot.  Then just leaves him there.  If it wasn’t for the recap page and the red and black glove, there would be no official appearance.

Wolverine gets to his feet.  Jubilee is waiting there in a car.   Wolverine asks how she is outside in the daylight.

I like how every appearance of Jubilee outside of X-MEN requires the writer of the title to explain how she is outside.

Now.  Wolverine wakes up next to Pinch.  That’s her name, that’s the name he calls her in bed.  He had a nightmare.  Once again, I don’t believe they have sheets on her bed, just a big blanket.  Or at least, they don’t tuck the sheet under the bed like normal people do.

Then.  Jubilee’s team are fighting some robots – Storm, Rachel, Psychole and M.

Jubilee explains that Beast made some modifications to her car.  She is wearing one billion sun screen.  The car itself has review mirror colors in a radar image of her plus other protections.  Beast likes the challenge of vampirism.

The fight with the robots is not important, so unimportant that the description of the man is just billionaire with a mad on mutants.

Jubilee wants to know what the official status with Wolverine and Storm is, as he has pulled away from the X-Men.  Wolverine tells her that he and Storm never really put a label on it.  Clearly, they never saw that episode of How I Met Your Mother, Definitions.

Wolverine asks how she found him.  Beast put a tracker inside of his belt.  Wolverine is so tired of his teammates worrying about him and his lack of a healing factor.  They are being insensitive to his disability and not treating him like a person.

Wolverine gets a call from Maria Hill, to meet her around the corner but not to tell Jubilee where he is going or why.  So he just gets up and leaves.

Maria Hill offers him a job, which he is excited about as she wants to use his lack of a healing factor as an asset.  He likes this.  She tells him that the task is to go after Sabretooth.

Wolverine V5 3 Kitty mentioned

Wolverine tells Hill that – Pryde said a lot of tough words to me about that, an’ she was down-the-line right.”  Hence, I own this issue.

I like Kitty having to get real with Wolverine.  He can’t just keep going after Sabretooth and taking huge loses just to go up against him in a fight and win that fight.  Winning a fight isn’t the same as what it cost him in order to go after Victor.

Hill tells him that he isn’t going to fight him one on one.  This isn’t a sanctioned grudge match.

Now.  Wolverine makes a point to hanging out with fellow gang member, Lost BOy.  They bond, sort of, over a video game.  Lost Boy makes a joke about how Wolverine was around when they were play testing chess.  Which is actually pretty funny.  Wolverine thinks his code name comes from Peter Pan when it actually comes from vampire movie from the 80s, The Lost Boys.

Then.  Wolverine comes charging at the robots.  He pops his claws, like a fool.  Honestly, he should know by now that he can’t be popping his claws.

The robots merge into a giant robot.  Storm wants the team to work together.  Wolverine freezes in place, as the giant robot is about to stomp on him.

When did Rachel lose her trench coat?  She isn’t wearing it here and it is the first time I’m seeing it for myself.  Her uniform looks a little superhero-y without the jacket.

Everyone is shouting at Wolverine to move but he just can’t.  Jubilee dives and shoves him out of the way.  The X-Men fight the giant robot as Wolverine runs off to cry and probably put on a diaper.

Later at the Jean Grey School.  Wolverine comes home.  Quentin Quire tries to give him a hard time but Wolverine walks right pass him.  He’s having a day.  He opens his door and sees web to the wall, his new armor uniform with a note.  The note reads – From a ‘friend’ as if the webbing to the wall didn’t explain that.  So that’s what Spider-Man was measuring.

Now.  n Undisclosed Location.  So Mystique is having a board meeting.  Around the table is – Silver Samurai, A Kabuki mask person (from the last volume – he’s an elite guard of the hand) and three other Hand ninjas.

Mystique is asking everyone what they think of Sabretooth now.  Silver Samurai believes Creed is changed, now that he doesn’t have his conflict with Wolverine, he has nothing to stop him from just going through the motions.

Mystique states that the new object Sabretooth is after is just a distraction.

Then the door opens, everyone does that thing where you quit talking as the person enters the room.  It is a fun panel.

Issue ends with a splash page of Sabretooth, still in a nice business suit, telling the room that the object he is after will make him a god!

I’m hoping to get a copy of issue four from Hastings as I know Kitty is already going to make an appearance.  I’m okay if Cornell wants to have Kitty appear every even issue and be mentioned in every odd issue.  That works for me and it will for sure get me to keep buying the comic.

Rogue Logan Part Two of Four

Last issue, Wolverine join a gang as he no longer has his healing factor.  Also, he killed a regular guy, to ensure his place in the gang.  Their leader is a man named, Offer.  The members of the gang are – Pinch, Fuel and Lost Boy.

This issue opens weeks ago.  He doesn’t have his fancy armor yet.  Wolverine is in the sewer, trying to talk to the Superior Spider-Man.

Has SpOck’s back spider always have that red button design?  Looks like if you press it, you would activate his kung fu grip.

Superior Spider-Man is fighting a Green Goblin gang, as Norman is taking over all the gangs of New York City.

Wolverine joins the fight, even though SpOck doesn’t want nor need his help.

At one point, a gang member puts a gun to Wolverine’s temple and Wolverine freezes in place – out of fear.  Superior Spider-Man comes in for the save, knocking the thug out.

Wolverine wants to ask a question.  Spider-Man thinks he is there on Avengers business.  Both ‘heroes’ are currently not with the Avengers.

Now.  Offer takes Wolverine to his office, he wants to make sure Logan is doing okay.  Logan tells him he doesn’t have to do that, his line has always been to not kill by-standers, everyone else is on the field.  I like how the scar Wolverine has over his right eye is still there.  That should be how he looks during this No-Healing-Factor-Era.  Not sure if it was the coloring or the light in the room, but I like Logan’s hair being a little grey, that’s a nice detail.  Good job, Curiel!

Offer explains what his big plan is.  Green Goblin has most of the gangs in town.  Sabretooth is trying to take over the gangs Goblin doesn’t have.  Offer got his gang to save one of Sabretooth’s ninjas, which will work as an olive branch.  He is also employing Wolverine, so that should get his attention as well.

If Sabretooth absorbs Offer’s gang, then Offer can start making changes and slowly start taking over Sabretooth’s business.

Cut to weeks ago.  Wolverine comes out of the sewer and Spider-Man is having to fight off more henchmen.  Spider-Man gets a gun pointed to his head and Wolverine tackles that thug with a one liner.  They are even now.

Spider-Man comments on how Wolverine sounds like the old him, he was using jokes out of fear as well.  Now he is better.  Speaking of which, now we are given a shot of the Superior Spider-Man costume and the back spider still looks like a button to me.  Like, you are meant to thumb swipe down on it and it opens the compartment.  I also like how black the costume is!  I thought it was mostly a black instead of blue change but it really is mostly black with some red aspects to it.  Even the mask eyes are black.  It is a very cool design.

Superior-spider-man-marvel-heroes

That’s from the Marvel Heroes online game, that I wish I could be playing.  I sort of love that costume.  Up there with the Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider and the Spider-Carnage costume.  I wish you can see the back of it more but apparently I’m the only one trying to discuss the back of his costume.  Google is really letting me down on this!

Spider-Man still believes Wolverine is there on Avengers business.  Wolverine finally convinces him that he isn’t – Wolverine isn’t into teams at the moment.  Good, Spider-Man says, as teams really hold one back.

Wolverine tells Spider-Man that Green Goblin is taking over the gangs of New York City.  Spider-Man quips that he is glad someone else finally noticed.  Which is an awesome comment about how so many ‘big events’ happen in hero’s titles but no one ever talks about them in other titles.  That’s how I read it, anyways.

Wolverine finally gets to ask his question.  If Spider-Man knows where Sabretooth is.  Spider-Man’s reaction is so wonderful.  He tells him that he tires of that question.  Wolverine’s “tired?” response is also great.

I really could get into Doctor Octopus as Spider-Man, every time he shows up in a comic I’m reading, he is so fantastic.  I might even go as far as to say, Superior.

Spider-Man mockingly explains why he finds the question irksome.  Of course, Wolverine wants to know where Sabretooth is, that’s all Wolverine is about.  Where is Sabretooth so I can fight him once again, just like I did last month and just like I will do next month.  It is a boring cycle.

Once Cornell is done with Wolverine, he should write Spider-Man but by the time he gets to, Spider-Man will be Peter Parker again – so that’s a shame as I doubt Marvel will allow a Superior Spider-Man miniseries just so a creator can write the character.  Superior Spider-Man Unlimited, would work as a format though.

I really do miss the Unlimited format, a quarterly title that cost a dollar more and we got three or four stories in each issue.  It was a great way to catch up on characters that we haven’t seen in forever.

Wolverine Vol 6 2 Kitty Lockheed Letter

Meanwhile in Alberta, Canada.  Kitty Pryde is reading a book with Lockheed perched next to her.  In my comic I’m writing with Kitty, that’s how I start the issue.  Of course, I’m working on a silly script starring Kitty.  I would have liked to see what book she is reading.  She notices a piece of paper that is floating with a purpose towards her.  She grabs the letter, it is from Storm.  “If you don’t want to talk to us, at least talk to Logan.  He needs you.”  She crinkles the letter, she doesn’t have time for that nonsense after the last time she saw Wolverine in his last ongoing series.

I really like how Stegman draws Lockheed.  I really miss seeing Lockheed!  Glad he made it into this issue.

Cyclops asks what that was about and Kitty tells him it was nothing.  Good for Kitty, not getting wrapped up in Wolverine’s nonsense.

Spider-Man and Wolverine get into a bit of a conversation about their opinions on the hero business, which I like.  Spider-Man comments on how maddening it is that they put on a costume, fight the same people in a constant cycle.  Nothing changes until you choose to make a chance.

Wolverine asks if that is what Spider-Man did, have a breakdown of values.  Wolverine wants to know if he is the same person Spider-Man has always been.  Spider-Man counters with a, your senses tell you that I am.

In a weird panel, Spider-Man puts his palm down to the ground, right at Wolverine’s head level.  He shoots a strand of webbing.  Wolverine wants to know what he is doing.

Now.  Logan is in bed with Pinch, his fellow gang member.  Oh Logan, how you must have a special lady friend in every new adventure you have.  The weird thing is, and I’m not sure if Stegman meant to do this but her bed, all it has is the blanket.  We get to see them in bed in two different segments and both times, I don’t see any sheets, not by their heads or at their feet when the blanket slides down.  Who sleeps with a blanket but not sheets?  Weird.

Back with the heroes.  Spider-Man didn’t answer the question.  Spider-Man tells Wolverine that if he finds a connection to Green Goblin and Sabretooth, he’ll keep the information to himself.  He then pushes Wolverine over the ledge of the building.  Now, that’s a cliffhanger!
