“Next month, Marvel will launch X-Men ‘92: House of XCII, a five-issue miniseries that serves as an alternate history of the founding of Krakoa, with a distinctly '90s look and feel. Written by Steve Foxe with art by Salva Espin, the new book begins in more-or-less the same place the House of X miniseries event did back in 2019, as the X-Men set out to secure their sovereignty as a new mutant nation, with a distinctly 1990s twist. […] X-Men '92: House of XCII arrives, little Krakoa monsters and all, on April 6.”
If they introduce Jean Grey to the MCU and Wanda Stans start saying the character is mid…I will literally riot. If I ever see or hear the phrase that Jean Grey is a “Wanda Wannabe” I will bust some heads.
I was convinced when first saw this cover that it was done by Alex Ross, but apparently it was actually done by Felipe Massafera. I am impressed.
I’m also super excited to see this new roster of X-men continuing to get a spotlight. The whole election process, and public-heroic role of this new team, on behalf of Krakoa, is a fantastic direction for the X-men as a whole. I cannot wait to see how this roster shifts and changes over the years.
It’s that time of the month! Time to try and catch up on as much tumblr as I can.
I know these are a bit old, but I had to share because I frickin love the X-Women, I frickin love this Hellfire Gala event, and I frickin love David Nakayama artist style. If I could have my way, he would have done variant covers for everyone lady. I love these so much.
RIP Stan Lee. A fan once told me that they took a couple of my prints to get signed by him at a con and he was like “These are great!” – And that is basically the highpoint of my career.
Stan created the X-Men (along with Jack Kirby, of course). I consider that to be his most important creation.
Stan Lee understood that readers could look at a group comprised entirely of minority characters and see heroes.
In creating the X-Men, Stan made a space to tell the exploits of minority characters. In their own story. Forever.
They weren’t just Very Special Guests used to help Cap & Iron Man explore themes of minority oppresssion and ostracism.
The X-Men were their own institution from issue #1. As if they were there all along. Stan used his amazing gift for characters to humanize The Other, and gave them all a place in his Marvel Universe to be their authentic, uncanny selves…
