Tomorrow is New Comic
Book day and the main comic you should have your eyes on is Wolverines #1.
Now that Logan is dead, his adamantium remains are in high demand, and the
battle for his body has begun. Wolverines will be an ongoing
weekly series, featuring characters such as Mystique, X-23, Sabretooth, Lady
Deathstrike, Daken, and a rumored mystery character. I'm definitely looking
forward to reading this series that is co-written by Charles Soule and Ray
Fawkes. The first issue will include a number of variant covers, including one
by fan favorite artist Skottie Young. So make sure to put Wolverines on
your list of comics to pick up tomorrow January 7, 2015!
Marvel released a new teaser poster for next years relaunch of the Uncanny Avengers earlier today. The teaser poster singles out Quicksilver indicating he might have been living a lie. What does that mean? Well let me give you a brief summary of who Quicksilver is.
In 1964 Quicksilver debuted on the issue of The X-Men #4. Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) is a mutant with superhuman speed. His father is Magneto and has a twin sister Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. Quicksilver has been part of a few affiliations, the Botherhood of Evil Mutants, Inhumans, X-Factor and now with the Avengers.
If you're not a comic book reader but a fan of the movies you may recognize Quicksilver in this years X-Men: Days of Future Past. Where he is portrayed as a juvenile delinquent that helps Xavier and Logan breakout Magneto from the Pentagon. He also appeared on the end credits along with his sister on Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will be coming out on next years Avengers: Age of Ultron. Since 20th Century Fox owns X-Men and Marvel Studios has the rights to Avengers, due to contract agreement Quicksilver isn't referred to as the son of Magneto. Although 20th Century Fox found a funny way of sneaking that into Days of Future Past.
So what is the poster hinting too? Its hinting that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch may not have been mutants all along but in fact Inhumans, a Superhuman Race created by the Kree.
Uncanny Avengers by Rick Remender and Daniel Acuna will be hitting comic shops January 28,2015!
Spider-Man and the X-Men #1 hit comic shops last week, and curiosity had me grabbing it off the shelves.
Before Wolverine died he reached out to Spider-Man and told him he believe there was a spy at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.So he asked Peter Parker to go undercover as Logan's replacement and try to figure out who it is. Spider-Man and Logan are the only two that know about this secret.
Now keep in mind that this is an all mutant school so the fact that Spider-Man will now be roaming the campus doesn't settle well with many there, including big time X-Men like Storm and Beast. Even though they don't like it, now that Wolverine is dead they are respecting his wishes of having Spider-Man take his place at the school. Logan had given Peter a list of the students that could be the potential mole so he could gather them in one class and keep an eye on them. Hellion (who I see being a big character in this series) is the most vocal one about not being happy being placed in a "Breakfast Club" style class.
I think this will be a great series moving forward. Spider-Man is going to have plenty of new challenges he must have to overcome. Not only will Spidey have to look for the mole, but he must overcome the ironic racism of him being there at the school. "Mr. Spider-Man" must also reach out to his Breakfast Club of misfits and teach them what being real heroes is all about. Not being to big on Spider-Man and X-Men comics I actually have high hopes for this series. If you're a comic lover like I am I strongly suggest picking up this #1 issue and see for yourself!
