News, Top Story

Marvel Comics Universe and January 2019 Solicitations Spoilers follows.

X-Men Red Cancelled Due To Uncanny X-Men Disassembled and New Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Series? Solicitations and covers below.

(1) X-MEN RED The last X-Men Red issue was solicited for December 2018 with a figure end-of-series team-standing-tall cover. That was X-Men Red #11. Marvel has a tendency of stealth cancelling series. Considering Marvel cancelled their other color-based X-Men series, X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold, this was expected, I think.

(2) SPIDER-MANFear not X-Men Red writer Tom Taylor has a new series out in January 2019 called the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and it ships with two issues in that month.

      Spider-Man is the worst neighbor EVER! There are always crazy villains and property damage and drama and…and he CATCHES the villains. And he tries to fix the damage and he helps carry your groceries and actually that property damage keeps the rents down. You know what? Spider-Man is the best neighbor ever and this book will give you a closer look at Spider-Man’s (and Peter Parker’s) neighborhood than any book ever. Also, it wouldn’t be a Spider-Man adventure without a threat that could destroy not only Spider-Man, but all his neighbors. Superstar writer TOM TAYLOR (X-MEN RED, ALL-NEW WOLVERINE, Injustice) and rising art star JUANN CABAL (ALL-NEW WOLVERINE, X-23) give you the most local Spider-Man ever!
