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.

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.

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.
