The next X (Women) Men comic... X-Men #1

The X-Women will headline the reboot of X-Men.

Storm, Rogue, Rachel, Kitty Pryde, Jubilee and Psylocke will star in the title and guess what?

NO WOLVERINE!

USA Today reports

Since their first appearance 50 years ago, the X-Men have had a history of strong female characters, even before it was cool. Wood has had many of them in his books, too, going back to Generation X in 2000 — his first paid gig in comics — and his recent X-Men.

However, with this new X-Men he gets all the A-list X-women: The book's main star is Jubilee, but it also includes Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey and Psylocke.

"I feel like as far as the X-Men go, the women are the X-Men," Wood explains. "Cyclops and Wolverine are big names, but taken as a whole, the women kind of rule the franchise.

"If you look at the entire world as a whole, it's the females that really dominate and are the most interesting and cool to look at. When you have a great artist drawing them, they look so amazing and always have."

This should be an interesting book! I'm excited!

A New X-Men Comic Coming?

Yesterday, there was this teaser about the next Marvel Comic Book. But it's interesting to look at what this teaser means.

At first, it looks like a X-Men title... Actually, I'm saying it's probably a X-Men comic and the XX... Well, it means female.

So is this a X-Men comic about the X-Women?

We'll see.

More on Storm's new look in Uncanny X-Force

For many of us comic book fans, seeing the Mohawk Storm was pure excitement! But why has this version of the 'Goddess' come back into the scene? Uncanny X-Force writer Sam Humphries tells why:

Yes! THE MOHAWK IS BACK! Look, I love the mohawk and I lobbied hard for it, but I wouldn't have done so if it didn't reflect a change in Ororo's inner life. As excited as I am for the mohawk, I'm more excited about what it means for her as a character. I mean, she has been through some rocky times lately, but this is a character, like Psylocke, who is a survivor. As for the how or why, all I can say is...stay tuned.

The artist Kris Anka also explains Storm's look:

With Storm, I've always felt that she must be treated like she is a woman. She has to stand like she is proud and confident, she has to act like she is proud and confident, she has to seem like she thinks she is proud and confident, and she must dress like she is proud and confident. Yes, she is going through some turmoil in her personal life that she is trying to work through, but it's hard to imagine Storm being the type of woman to let that completely dominate her life. I felt that she needed a costume that both highlighted the change in temperament, but also her regality, and her womanhood. I'm not one that agrees with the notion that every female character has to be "sexy." It needs to serve a purpose. With characters like Emma frost, or Mystique, or in this case Storm, these are women who are completely sure of their sexuality and their status, so they should be the ones that will flaunt it proudly and not give much mind about it.

So excited!

ALL NEW X-MEN: Brian Bendis takes on the most eccenctric and controversy-baiting Marvel NOW! book. The pitch: The original five teenage X-Men time-travel to the present day. “Here’s the big question that the original X-Men are gonna be faced with: ‘We’re gonna grow up and this is what we’re going to to get? That is not acceptable.” NOV. 2012

So she does return, but how? And why? More to come comic fans.
