Media, News, Official Images

I have to imagine that if not for the holiday Marvel would have released this yesterday, but hey, new teaser! And you know the best part about Marvel teasers? You know that there’s never just one!

An all-new direction for the New Mutants begins this May as MMXI – the year of the X-Men – kicks into high gear!

The teaser features Nate “X-Man” Grey and Clarice “Blink” Ferguson as they fight who appears to be Sunspot, Warlock, Magik, and Moonstar. Blink was last seen during Necrosha, when Selene raised her from the dead (though she was not among though who were dead come the end of the series). Nate, on the other hand, was last seen during Paul Cornell’s Dark X-Men miniseries facing off against Norman Osborn and his team of X-Men, he was also used in teasers for Victor Gischler’s X-Men series.

Also worth noting is that along with Morph, they were the most popular characters in the Age of Apocalypse, X-Man even saw his series survive for 71 issues after the AoA ended.

My question is who is this new writer, as that’s really going to be my deciding factor on this title.

A lifelong reader and self proclaimed continuity guru, Grey is the Editor in Chief of Comics Nexus. Known for his love of Booster Gold, Spider-Girl (the real one), Stephanie Brown, and The Boys. Don't miss The Gold Standard.
