Now I'm hungry...

A reminder to everyone that despite showing up in Iron Fist season 2. Typhoid Mary is a mutant. I will definitely pick this series up. I was getting tired of the New Mutants series. But I loved Dani and Illyana.

Yeah, the fact that Typhoid is a mutant was the reason no-one suspected her of being Mutant Zero during the Initiative

A reminder to everyone that despite showing up in Iron Fist season 2. Typhoid Mary is a mutant. I will definitely pick this series up. I was getting tired of the New Mutants series. But I loved Dani and Illyana.

It's more funny when the Dark X-men already existed back in Dark Reign and weren't a success back then. So they aren't even rehashing a good idea

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of, but at least those Dark X-Men started off with a fairly decent plotline with Dark Reign, something I haven't seen in a long time from Marvel.

Since 2019s revolutionary HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X series, mutantkind has experienced unparalleled growth and prosperity on the island nation Krakoa but can it really last forever? Following Julys X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA #1, mutantkind will enter a thrilling new era of uncertainty, danger, and mystery known as FALL OF X! This new age wont be limited to Earth as a small band of mutantkinds fiercest warriors are sent on a mystical mission across the Ten Realms in REALM OF X!Written by Torunn Grnbekk (Thor, The Mighty Valkries) and drawn by Digenes Neves (The Darkhold: Spider-Man), REALM OF X will continue the Krakoan Eras fascinating exploration of mutant magic as a ragtag group of mutants become players in a mystical war orchestrated by a familiar adversary. This mysterious mastermind wants to manipulate mutantkind just as theyre at their lowestbut theyve messed with the wrong ones! Can Magik, former Valkyrie Dani Moonstar, Marrow, Dust, Curse, and Typhoid Mary overcome their differences and rise as legendary heroes of the Ten Realms? Or will their mere presence escalate the conflict and warp mutantkinds destiny forever?Leaping straight from the astonishing events of this year's Hellfire Gala, an unlikely group of mutants find themselves stranded in...Vanaheim? And whats even more confusing, the locals seem to believe that they hold the key to fulfilling a prophecy that can either raise the realm to riches or cause it to fall to ruin. With Magik's powers malfunctioning and a mysterious figure amassing power on the outskirts of the realm, these X-Men are going to going to have to band together if they want to stay alive long enough to find their way home!Writing REALM OF X is an unparalleled joy, Grnbekk said. We are bringing together an amazing cast of incredibly powerful but exceptionally different characters and throwing them into a situation for which they are wholly unprepared. Vanaheim is deceptively familiar but far from everything, and the only thing our cast has in common is that this realm is not in anyone's comfort zone. Not only will our mutants have to deal with civil war, ancient prophecies, lost powers, and inconvenient love (arguably the best kind!), but they'll also have to contend with each other, Mary's temper, and one lost teenager.See the team embark on their new mission on Stephanie Hans REALM OF X #1 cover below, and stay tuned next week for more FALL OF X news!REALM OF X #1Written by TORUNN GRNBEKKArt by DIGENES NEVESCover by STEPHANIE HANSOn Sale 8/23

Dayam! If there's one thing Marvel knows how to do is take a successful property and ride it till the wheels fall the hell off. Dark X-Men, huh? While I like the characters and I love Maddy I just get the feeling everything X-Men are getting so redundant and repetitive. The build up for every new X-Team is exactly the same "Something Never Seen Before", "Explosive and Mindblowing", "New and Groundbreaking", etc., etc.. I am an X-Men fan over everything else and I love many characters but it just too overwhelming at this point. Every writer wants to create their own team. Everyone wants to make their own characters. Everyone has their own take on established characters actions and behaviors. It's like everything in starting over from scratch. Almost no character is recognizable from one canceled book to another. Gone are the days when credible writers take a character, stay true to itxs origins and build onto it. Almost everyone gets broke down and rebuilt from ground up, so much so that they're even allowed to alter their origins even. I dunno, not saying it isn't gonna be a good book right out the box, but how many more New X-Books are they gonna milk out of this stone?
