X-Men - Part 8

[Weather Witch]

Wow... there's so much **** going on right now. I thought they'd be reflecting something.

Feels like the books are in a holding pattern for the sake of corporate synergy tbh. Editorial was saying to the writers that they had to hold out until the upcoming Age of Revelation event, so maybe it'll get more interesting now.

That's nice to know.

Any of them trans?

Not in Uncanny, though there is some other queer representation there. A new character in the Storm solo has recently been revealed to be trans. The only other prominent trans character from the Krakoan era (Escapade) has been moved to Avengers Academy. That's one of the mobile-only infinity comics.

Officially confirmed now that Age of Revelation will last three months. Seems like we're losing a few books afterwards, but others are continuing. Exceptional X-Men and Hellverine have finished their runs. Magik also ends at #10, I think. The new Eve Ewing book isn't listed as a flagship title for AoR, unlike Jed MacKay and Gail Simone's books. Storm is safe, though, and we already have a tease for where that book is heading after AoR.

Small correction (and bit of a surprise tbh), but it seems Magik isn't actually ending yet. Phoenix is though.

Curious, because I thought Phonenix wasn't ending, but getting a new writer.

Might be that they relaunch as a volume 2. The issue said "the end" at least.

Just because it hasn't been posted here yet. The next era is Shadows of Tomorrow.

New series:

• Cyclops
• Wade Wilson: Deadpool

Continuing:

• X-Men
• Uncanny X-Men
• Wolverine
• Storm: Earth's Mightiest Mutant (Edit: continuing the story, but confirmed as a new #1. Must be a recent change because Ayodele previously referred to it as #16.)
• Magik returning in some form (?)

The X-Men has so many immigrants, and seeing what's happening (among other things)... the X-Men looks so urgent.

 

[Sithborg]

There is also a rumor of a Psylocke: Ninja book.

So yay, my solos survived.

Think they don't want to rock the boat. At least with most of these titles. Hopefully, at least the future timeline do a bit more of this since it's not a permanent status quo. Krakoa was definitely a lot more bold.

The solo books are something I'm really happy with as well. A highlight of this era IMO.

Its so strange that, forever, the team books sold well and only Wolverine could carry a solo

but now we're in an era where the Solo books are beloved and people are meh on the teams

if only we could achieve balance, and get both good solos and team books

NYCC 2025: The X-Men Enter the 'Shadows of Tomorrow'

Learn about 'Shadows of Tomorrow,' the next era of X-Men storytelling announced at New York Comic Con, including returning ongoing series, new launches, limited series, and more!

The announcement is here. The solos remain the interesting part. It's great that Marvel is continuing to build up the individual characters.

 

[Sithborg]

Magik is a mini. Combined with pairing her wit the worst choice. sigh

And no word on Psylocke and Phoenix.

Hadn't initially spotted that a lot of these were minis. There were also quite a few websites that mentioned Psylocke: Ninja for January 2026, so that might've been delayed (or canceled). Happy that Storm: EMM is an ongoing, but I suspect that'll be 10 (or if we're incredibly lucky 15) issues as well.

Granted, I'm already quite happy to see Ayodele get 20-25 issues. Even if it's across three books. That's a lot more than Storm has ever gotten.

 

[Sithborg]

Its going to get 10, then retitled.

Probably, yeah

Oh, it's real...

'Psylocke: Ninja' Unlocks A Secret Chapter Of The X-Man's Life | Comic Book Club

But it's a mini that flashes back to when Betsy was in Kwannon's body. That's certainly a choice.

Slated for Jan 21. Even weirder that it wasn't included in the announcement then. They included other books that come out later.

 

[Sithborg]

****ing Brevoort.

****ing Brevoort.

There was one part in Rogue Storm #1 that confused me and Ayodele confirmed it came from editorial.

Spoiler

The final time jump says "X Years Later. Age of Revelation," which apparently editorial wanted there. It seems to suggest we're now ten years later than the rest of the comic, right? Nah, it's ten years after the "Welcome to the Age of Revelation" introduction flashback text. Very dumb.

Ayodele also mentioned the following weekly sales stats on Amazon.

• Fourth-best-selling comic of the week
• Third-best-selling Marvel comic of the week
• Second-best-selling AOR comic of the week
