This week Marvel Comics is announcing several ResurrXion-branded comics featuring the X-Men. With Death of X currently being published and Inhumans vs. X-Men hitting later this year, ResurrXion looks to be the next chapter for the X-Men after the dust of war has settled.
Bookmark this page and check back all week for the latest updates.
Marvel has released two more teasers, this time for X-Men: Gold and X-Men: Blue comic book series.
Gold and Blue were the team names of two different X-Men squads during the '90s. With the X-Men franchise ballooning to massive popularity during that time, two X-Men comics were launched with the different teams, each sporting unique member rosters.
Gold consisted of Cyclops, Wolverine, Jubliee, Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, and Rogue.
Blue had Storm, Bishop, Archangel, Jean Grey, Colossus, and Iceman.
As has been the ResurrXion teaser trend, both teasers show images clipped from the long history of the X-Men all the way up to the present. The images seem to reflect the classic lineups, more or less, but we'll have to wait until Spring 2017 to see how it all pans out.
Cable joins Marvel's ResurrXion lineup for Spring 2017 with a new comic series.
The son of Scott Summers and Madelyn Pryor, baby Cable was sent to the future to be cured of the deadly techno-organic virus and grew up to be a cyborg warrior with big guns and bigger pouches. He returned to the present as an adult and has since become a mainstay on X-Force.
Cable last appeared in Uncanny Avengers on yet another time-travel adventure.
In the upper right-hand corner of the teaser you'll notice an image of Cable from Messiah War sporting a baby carrier holding young Hope Summers. Adult Hope was last seen in 2014's X-Force, which also starred Cable and focused on their father/daughter-esque relationship.
It's worth pointing out that at the end of the Deadpool movie, Cable was teased to be in the sequel, and we are expecting Deadpool 2 to hit sometime in 2017 or 2018, so Marvel will have a new Cable series on the shelf when the character attains his highest level of public awareness ever.
Marvel's Generation X will be making a return as part of their ResurrXion lineup in Spring 2017.
Generation X originally launched in the '90s, featuring a new class of mutants taught by Banshee and Emma Frost. Founding members include Jubilee, Husk, Mondo, Skin, M, Chamber, Penance, and Synch.
While the "X" part of the title links the book to the X-Men (obviously), the series explored the attitude and cynicism of the younger generation for which the series was named. The teaser shows numerous teen mutants, so it looks like this new series will take a similar approach. Admittedly, Generation Millennial just isn't as catchy.
A new Jean Grey comic book series joins Marvel's ResurrXion lineup hitting in Spring 2017. As with the other announced books, Iceman and Weapon X, no creative team is attached yet.
Jean Grey proper is currently dead, but a younger version of the character has been running around the Marvel Universe the past couple years after Beast brought the original five X-Men to the present. The teaser shows images of Jean from throughout her long history, so it's anyone's guess which version of Jean will be featured in the series.
Of course it's worth pointing out that the Phoenix is featured in this teaser, a cosmic force of death and rebirth, and these titles are all branded "resurrection," so perhaps the Phoenix -- and the original Jean Grey -- have something to do with the X-Men's rebirth.
Jean Grey is currently a member of the Extraordinary X-Men team led by Storm.
The latest teaser is for a new series titled Weapon X.
The image features Wolverine (the original, not the Old Man Logan version currently running around the MU), Sauron, X-23/All-New Wolverine Laura Kinney, Wildchild, Sabretooth (the current "inverted" version with a good conscience), and Deadpool. It's unclear whether these characters will be featured in the series or if the teaser is just meant to spotlight the most famous (and infamous) characters produced by the evil organization.
The new series is listed for a Spring 2017 release. No creative team was listed.
A new comic book series for founding X-Men member Iceman was revealed via a teaser image from Marvel Comics.
The teaser shows fractured images from throughout Iceman’s history and a release date of Spring 2017. No creative team was listed.
Iceman made headlines last year when he came out as gay after Jean Grey read his mind in an issue of All-New X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis and Kris Anka. This was a younger version of Iceman who time-traveled to the present, and after confronting his older self about it, he was able to come to grips with his sexuality, too. It’s unclear if this new comic series will star the past version currently featured in All-New X-Men, the present version in Extraordinary X-Men, or both. We’ll sadly admit there’s probably no chance it will feature his future self known as Ice Wizard.
This teaser is one of several RessurXion-branded comic announcements we’re expecting after an initial teaser hit last week bearing the logos of both the X-Men and the Inhumans.
The X-Men are currently in the middle of a war with the Inhumans, with the current Death of X mini-series showing the untold story of how their conflict began and Inhumans vs. X-Men out later this year.
Also of note on the teaser is the giant gold X. Iceman was on X-Men’s Gold Team back in the ‘90s.
If this new comic is an ongoing series, then it will be Iceman’s first. He’s had two self-titled mini-series, one in 1984 and another in the 2000s.
