The X-Men Comics Line-Up Is Relaunching Next Year!
I have largely forgotten about the X-Men comics in recent years. There are myriad reasons: my own personal proclivity for reading non-Big Two comics, my own confusion about the current mythos, and them just being…okay? But Marvel seems to be angling to draw people like me back next year, with a serious, serious line-up relaunch.

Marvel is developing a ‘New Warriors’ TV series featuring Squirrel Girl
I don’t really know Squirrel Girl. Or New Warriors. But I hope this news makes some people really happy.
Marvel co-producing an ‘X-Men’ TV series on FOX
Marvel is getting into bed with FOX, at least in some manner. It isn’t exactly Wolverine in Infinity War (dammit!), but the two companies are teaming up to bring an X-Men series to the TV channel.
Leaked: Full Marvel NOW! 2.0 Line-Up, including Promo Art
I’m, I’m pretty much done with superhero comic books. I say pretty much because if anything comes out of the box and is generally regarded as “must read” by folks I respect, I’m going to buy it. Ain’t gonna cut my fanboy nose to spite my fat fanboy face. But as far as the monthly procurement policy? Passing. This isn’t a moral stand, or even a condemnation of the titles, just a general apathy from me. This is a long way of saying that I’m not really feeling the Marvel NOW! 2.0 line-up in either way, but I hope it fucking rocks, and gets me to buy me some superhero funny books.
Marvel’s next Iron Man is Riri Williams, a 15 Year-Old Black Girl who attends MIT
Marvel has announced that the next Iron Man is going to be Riri Williams. I’m not familiar with. But apparently she’s a Stark-level genius African American girl who attends MIT. I can dig it.
Joe Quesada: Marvel Studios has the rights to Namor
Add Namor to the multitude of potential characters showing up in Infinity War. One of Marvel’s own Czars of Content has confirmed the character’s rights are under the control of Marvel Studios.
Carrie-Anne Moss joining ‘Iron Fist’, reprising her ‘Jessica Jones’ role
I haven’t watched all of Jessica Jones. I know Carrie-Anne Moss is in it, though. I also know Carrie-Anne Moss is in the second season of Daredevil, cause I did watch that shit. Now Moss is joining Iron Fist, becoming another integral thread weaving together all of the Netflix-Marvel-Verse.
Marvel pulls ‘Inhumans’ movie from its release schedule
Remember last year when there were rumors abound at NYCC that Marvel had killed the Inhumans movie? Well, it is looking more and more likely that there was some substance to those rumors. If the movie is ever going to come, and I’m doubtful, at the very least we have no idea when it shall.
Marvel’s ‘The Defenders’ series for Netflix shooting later this year
Man, I ain’t even finished Daredevil S2 or Jessica Jones S1, and already that Defenders‘ release date is breathing down my neck.
