Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of X-Men: A Girl Named Hope by Christopher Yost and Duane Swierczynski. According to the company, it kicks off the most shocking change to the X-Men you can imagine. AGAIN!
Bryan Singer came out and said he’s still interested in making another X-Men movie for 20th Century Fox.
“I’m still looking to possibly returning to the ‘X-Men’ franchise. I’ve been talking to Fox about it,” Singer said at a talk at South Korea’s Pusan International Film Festival.
“I love Hugh Jackman. I love the cast,” he said, referring to the Australian actor who plays Wolverine.
After X2: X-Men United, and his subsequent jump over to Warner Bros. for Superman Returns, it might be hard for Singer to get back in the X-Men universe’s good graces.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Marvel has once again announced one of their titles has sold out at the distributor level. This time is it Dark Reign: The List – X-Men that will feature a variant cover by Alan Davis. The reprint will arrive on November 11, 2009 with a cover price of $3.99.
Or – “Most People Don’t Know That His Full Name Is Manuel Labór.”
So, I have completed my daily labors, overseeing the dozen fellers and gals what make up the current workgroup to call themselves Team RamRod (”See, you’re Arkot Ramathorn… Ram. And I’m Rodney Farva… Rod. Team RamRod!”) and I am preparing to have some spaghetti and hang out with friends, but first I wanted to catch up with some of the many titles that I’ve neglected over the busy last days of August…
RAPID-FIRE REVIEW TIME!

We all know everyone is special – a unique snow flake that has no companion (except for the twins). The DC Universe has a bunch of teenagers from the future who use their unique talents to save the universe, while Marvel 616 has a bunch of mutants who band together to save the universe. They are in no way alike – really. Trust us, we’ve got an uber-nerd working on this site, and he’ll tell you.
But even if they were remotely alike, and we could shape the universe to put the Legion of Super-Heroes and the X-Men on a deserted island and let them fight it out in a Battle Royale reality television series, who would come out on top? Would the X-Men win because they have Wolverine, or would it be the Legion because they have a 12th Level Intellect that can figure out the endgame before it happens?
FIGHT!

Going to try an experiment this week and see where it leads us. Today’s artist is Jennyson Allan Borlongan Rosero, with this pretty cool X-Men piece. As the week progresses, I’m going to find an image in his favorites folder and use that for tomorrow’s installment. Then a favorite from that artist and so on until we reach some strange dead end or it circles back around.
Ah Deviant Art, you rascal.
Here’s another Rapid-Fire Roundup of news coming out of the various Marvel panels on day two of the San Diego Comic Con.
Marvel will be sending Dark X-Men: The Beginning #1 back to press after the issue sold out at the distributor level. The reprint will feature interior art by Leonard Kirk on the cover.
Or – “Fishmen and Mimics and Beasts, OH MY!”
Is it just me, or are Calvin’s wings on backward?
Are you stumped for what you want your next D&D 4e character to be? Wish you could somehow adapt one of your favorite characters to a medieval, high fantasy setting? Look no further, in this article I’ll be taking everyone’s favorite teleporting fuzzy elf and giving him the D&D treatment.

Or – “The Return Of The Greatest X-Man Of Them All!”
It has been many years since the original five X-Men teamed up to battle various fat, bald, ugly pro-wrestler types. In the ensuing years, seemingly hundreds of mutants have joined various incarnations of the X-Franchise, but everybody seems to forget the FIRST mutant recruit to join the then-handful of X-Kids… The man called The Mimic. In a world gone mad, where no one’s loyalties can be easily discerned, this legendary lost hero has returned, to once again spearhead the team he once led.
(Oh, there’s some other guys in this book, too…)
Marvel has announced that X-Men Forever #1 has sold out and is going back to print for those that didn’t get it the first time. The issue is written by Chris Claremont and will feature Tom Grummett’s artwork on the cover.
Word is spreading through the blogosphere that Phil Jimenez is stepping in to replace artist Simone Bianchi on the Astonishing X-Men series written by Warren Ellis. It’s interesting if it is true, as Simone is a really dedicated artist who does some pretty “astonishing” art.
But what the hell do I know if this is true, the story first appeared on Superpouvoir.com, which is a French website, and I don’t speak French, plus the story has been removed from the site. We’ll find out more on Tuesday at 12:00 EDT, right here on this site, but you’ll have to do some math and pay careful attention to “the post” to see if this is the real deal or not.
