Marvel Comics Cancels X-Men Blue & X-Men Gold
by Stephen Gerding
Marvel Comics' solicitations for September 2018 reveals that the publisher is bringing two of its main X-Men titles to a close. Both X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold are coming to a conclusion.
Both series launched in early 2017, with titles that were designed to play on the X-Men's history, specifically the '90s Jim Lee-fueled era where the team was spilt into two strike forces, one Blue, one Gold.
X-Men Gold has spent much of its time exploring a number of classic X-Men plots from Chris Claremont's era, as well as the recently pending nuptials between Kitty Pryde and Colossus, while Blue has focused mainly on the time-displaced team of original teenage X-Men. Earlier today, Marvel spoiled the end of Gold's wedding issue, which is leading to the launch of an all-new series Mr. and Mrs. X. Meanwhile, X-Men Blue has been building toward a resolution for the young mutants' time-travel storyline, one which will be explored further in the upcoming Extermination event miniseries.
X-Men Red, which features the recently resurrected Jean Grey in a leadership role, will continue.

Cassandra Nova Recruits a Major X-Man to Fight Their Friends
The latest issue of X-Men: Red #8 saw an epic confrontation between Jean Grey’s new X-Men team and the twisted villainy of Cassandra Nova. The demented twin sister of Charles Xavier has been spreading bigotry and hatred across the globe in a campaign targeting mutants, using Sentinel nanobots to accomplish her scheme. And as we see at the end of this issue, she has more weapons in her arsenal just in case things go wrong.
Ever since X-men: Red began, Nova has been working behind the scenes to destroy the lives of mutants everywhere. It started with the assassination of an ambassador at the UN, something that was initially blamed on Jean Grey. This tarnishing of the X-Men leader’s reputation was only the start of their problems, as soon it was revealed that not only was Nova behind the murder, she's been developing millions of Sentinel nanobots she was now ready to unleash upon the world.
These Sentinites are specifically designed to infect the brains of their victims, manipulating emotions into inciting more hatred and violence against mutants. Nova had been using her considerable telepathic powers to coerce Forge -- the mutant and former X-Man whose superpower is an affinity for machines -- into building a Sentinite swarm large enough to infect the brains of everyone on the planet. After initially choosing her victims from the highest ranks of power, her plans to turn the world against the X-men was almost complete.
Operating from their new headquarters in Atlantis, Jean Grey and her X-Men devised a plan to defeat Nova’s Sentinites. Using their undersea version of Cerebro -- ingeniously named Searebro -- the mutant technopath Trinary would channel her powers through the machine and reach out to every one of the millions of nanobots now spreading across the globe. Due to the overwhelming strain this would put on her brain, she uses Honey Badger -- the young clone of Laura Kinney with a mutant healing factor -- as a buffer between her and Searebro’s full strength.
Trinary had spent her life absorbing decades of internet hate, and in a final cathartic push, unleashed all of this negative energy upon the Sentinite swarm, not only deactivating but destroying every last evil nanobot. While no one was under the impression that Cassandra Nova would stay down for long, the devious X-Men villain didn’t miss a beat in unveiling her plan B: taking over the mind of Rachel Grey and sending her after the X-Men.

Extermination #3
Nonstop suspense and gorgeous visuals make this an X-Men event you’re hooked to from beginning to end. By Chris Hassanon
You know, a comic named Extermination, designed to do away with my beloved original X-Men, shouldn’t be so much fun to read. And yet, I couldn’t help but finish Extermination #3 thinking about what a great time I had reading it! For me, the surprises didn’t end there, which is a credit to writer Ed Brisson and artist Pepe Larraz for crafting a comic more than worth its price tag.
While Extermination has been pretty action-packed from the get-go, its third installment, especially, goes heavy on the fight scenes. No complaints here, because Larraz is back penciling the hell out of it all. I said it in my review of Extermination #1, I said it in my review of Extermination #2 and you better believe I’m going to say it again–this artist is a star! There’s just so much to love about the visuals, which are only elevated by colorist Marte Gracia. The details on Old Hound Logan’s set of bone claws (yes, Ed Brisson, I give you permission to use Old Hound Logan) to breathtaking battles on land, sea and air, every single page in this comic is a feast for the eyes.
Extermination may also be the first time I’ve ever thought Ahab looked cool.
Speaking of Ahab, he’s pretty much the driving force behind this issue’s action. The mad mutant from the future wants those original five X-Men, and he’s got a few secret Hounds to lend a hand. How he got the upper hand on Marvel’s mutants is pretty inventive and it helps solidify Ahab as a force to be reckoned with so long as Brisson’s writing him.
Kid Cable, the mini-series’ other antagonist, continues to be a real a-----e… and a lot of fun to follow. Just wait until you see what he needed Mimic for. Teenage Nate Summers is going to some pretty extreme lengths to #SetItRight and, though pretty twisted, it’s also crazy fun to watch.
But without a doubt, the most fun in this issue comes from the team-up between the original X-Force and teenage Jean Grey (no wonder it landed on the cover!). I’ll be honest, I read a lot of the classic X-Force series when I was younger, and pretty much just read it because it had an “X” on the cover. I don’t remember much about the stories and, as a result, I’ve never cared much about that iteration of the team. However, after reading Brisson’s take on Domino, Warpath, Shatterstar, Cannonball and Boom-Boom, I’d be lying if I wasn’t a lot more interested in reading Marvel’s upcoming relaunch spinning out of this title.
This crew is full of badasses, but they may have met their match in teen Jean. Clearly, they haven’t been following her modern adventures the past few years. This issue’s final page has me very excited to see what happens next.
Three issues in, Extermination has far exceeded my expectations for a mini-series that could have been nothing more than an uninspired, by-the-numbers clearing of the board ahead of November’s Uncanny X-Men #1. Every issue features surprises that guarantee this event will keep me guessing until its very last page.

Jean Grey's Newest Enemy Is Also Her Most Powerful - And Personal by Renaldo Matadeen – in CBR Exclusives
X-Men Red has been pivotal in detailing Jean Grey's adjustment to being alive once again following her return in the Phoenix Resurrection miniseries. Her main task as the new mutant messiah is to safeguard her species while achieving peace with mankind; a dream identical to that of her former mentor, Charles Xavier.
However, she meets resistance (as expected) in the form of another powerful psychic, Cassandra Nova -- who happens to be Professor Xavier's evil twin sister. Cassandra's intent is to commit mutant genocide and thus ruin her brother's legacy, with the added goal of making sure Jean feels responsible for the extinction of her people along the way.
As Cassandra gathers her arsenal, X-Men Red Annual #1 reveals she's lined up an extremely powerful rival to be Jean's enemy in the form of the X-Men leader's daughter from an alternate timeline, Rachel Grey.

An X-Men Reunion in EXTERMINATION #2
By Aaron Berkowitz
EXTERMINATION #2 backs away from the, admittedly successful, shock tactics in the first issue. Brisson slows it down just a bit in order to let the entire X-family, including former members of X-Force, know about the shocking events of last issue. Ed Brisson continues making this series feel, in spirit, like the many X-events of the ‘80s and ‘90s. It feels like a return to form for the X-Men, and I still greatly enjoy it. This issue fleshes out the internal conflict between young Scott Summers and the X-Men, as well as the ruthlessness of the younger version of Cable. Artist Pepe Larraz and, especially, colorist Marte Gracia add in moments that look downright beautiful.
Cable Gets Desperate
In the last issue, Ahab, a time-traveling mutant hunter from an alternate future, killed Bloodstorm and attempted to kill young Cyclops. Shortly after, a younger version of Cable killed his older counterpart and kidnapped the younger Iceman. EXTERMINATION #2 deals with the fallout of these events. Scott feels utterly hopeless after Bloodstorm’s death and questions if the Original Five ever really accomplished anything in their long trip to the future.
Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde calls a meeting of all currently living X-Men in order to discuss the many-sided threats they’re facing. Rachel Grey lets them know that Ahab means business and that the X-Men must stop him before he kills the Original Five. Kitty suggests that each member of the five splits up with a team of X-Men. They’ll take each member to a safe house until the danger subsides.
Scott, angered that he won’t be able to fight his own battle, storms off. Outside the mansion, Cable ambushes the younger versions of Cyclops, Beast, and Angel. He manages to tranquilize both Warren and Hank, but Hank pulls his tranq out before the full dosage could inject. Jean fights Cable off, and he takes Warren with him. Older Hank surmises that Cable wasn’t being bold by fighting the X-Men on their home turf; he was desperate. Is this the only danger the X-Men will face this issue? Read EXTERMINATION #2 and find out!

What to know about Extermination, the end of X-Men’s time-traveling odyssey
What you need to know about X-teams new and old before this grand finale
By Kieran Shiach
Over 50 years ago, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced us to these five teenagers with amazing powers gifted to them by a quirk of genetics. Dubbed “mutants” by the general public, but molded into the X-Men by their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier, they dedicated their lives to protecting a world that hated and feared them; then, they grew up and grew apart. In the pages of X-Men comics, readers got to see these heroes grow from teenagers to adults and students to teachers. They fell in love and were married. They died and were reborn. Decades after their introduction, each character was significantly different from their original incarnation.
Five years ago, Marvel Comics brought the original five teenage X-Men to the present through time-travel hijinks, and there have been two sets of founding X-Men running around the Marvel Universe ever since. This week’s Extermination #1, by Ed Brisson, Pepe Larraz, Marte Gracia and Joe Sabino. is billed as the end of their story, but as is often the case with X-Men comics, the continuity and the history of the stories that got us to this point can be daunting to say the least. Before you check out Extermination, we’ve put together a crash course on the time-displaced mutants so you know who they are, why they came to the present, how they’ve changed while there, and why it’s such a big deal that they’re going away.

X-Men Gold #32 Review: The Tragedy of the Phoenix
Posted by Joshua Davison
Rachel Summers, aka Prestige and formerly known as the Phoenix, has been driven into a frenzy by Mesmero. She has already downed Colossus and Kitty Pryde, and Magik and Storm follow soon after. Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Iceman, and Pyro are the only ones left to calm Rachel down, but, after Prestige so easily incapacitated the other X-Men, can these four X-Men save the day?
After the Days of Future Past retread that was X-Men Gold #31, X-Men Gold #32 shows that this could have really been wrapped up in a single issue. That said, this was still a solid read, and it would have been nice for it to not have been proceeded by a truly pointless read.
But we’re here to talk about #32, not #31. It’s not a brilliant installment, but it has many nice moments that keep it engaging enough to carry through to the end. Magik lamenting what she feels she has done to Kitty and Piotr’s relationship is a nice character moment. Nightcrawler and young Cyclops putting everything on the line to get through to Rachel reminds the reader what sets the X-Men apart from other superhero teams.

X-Men: Gold #30 is a clear example of how the endgame will dictate whether a story will succeed or fail. Unfortunately for X-Men: Gold #30 it turns out to be the latter as the end result with Colossus and Kitty Pryde’s marriage damages everything that came before and after failed ceremony. It’s to the point that you wonder what the point of all the hype and time spent in this series with how things ended up in X-Men: Gold #30.Now before I get into the problems with X-Men: Gold #30 there was one positive thing about the story itself. And that positive thing was the short involvement of Jean Grey in this issue. From having an conversation with her older self that made Rachel Grey feel awkward to Jean and Cyclops talking about where their future selves had their wedding, it worked as Guggenheim desired. It was so well done that it makes you wish we got more than the short two panels that were written involving the two Jean Grey’s, Cyclops and Rachel Grey.

REVIEW: X-MEN GOLD #25 (THE SWORD IS DRAWN….ONCE MORE)
What You Need to Know:
The X-Men have been incarcerated after a misunderstanding with law enforcement, due to the machinations of Mesmero and Lydia Nance. While behind bars it falls to a reserve team to pull a late rescue of the city after an attack by Ivan Guerrero, AKA the Shredded Man. Led by Iceman and Rogue and including the new recruit Pyro, they in part succeed thanks to Pyro, who manages to earn their trust and his place on the team.
What You’ll Find Out:
After a brief opening shot of Scythian in France repeating his Godzilla impersonation from the attack on Dartayus, a quick location change has the B team facing off against Rhino in Times Square as Armor draws the attention of Magik to what is happening on the news. As Illyana introduces Aleksei to the joys of Limbo we see two of the imprisoned X-Men are also watching the unfolding drama in Paris and Peter and Kurt discuss not only the fact Colossus should be planning a wedding right now, but how all this could even be happening, not to mention the ramifications of this new development. One person noticeably absent from the scene is Ororo, who is currently struggling with the resurfacing of her claustrophobia. In true Storm style though, she digs deep to not only bury the fear but also short out her control collar, as a bolt of lightning heralds her returned powers. In short order she takes out the prison roof, alerting the guards to her change in condition and she simply looks up at the sky, ignoring them as they vainly attempt to make her surrender.

In short order she takes out the prison roof, alerting the guards to her change in condition and she simply looks up at the sky, ignoring them as they vainly attempt to make her surrender.

REVIEW: X-MEN GOLD #22 (BROTHERHOOD PART 2)
What You Need to Know:
Without Logan tagging along, the new line-up which now includes a revived Prestige and longtime ally Magma, have fallen whilst going up against the New Brotherhood for the second time. On the lookout for payback for being previously used by Mesmero, Magma went in against the plan and earned the team a resounding thrashing. Only Pryde still stands and is held fast by the new Pyro and Avalanche.
What You’ll Find Out:
Before returning to the action we are treated to a glimpse into the past and a young girl runs and cowers behind the sofa of her fathers Long Island home, who screams after her that he intends to inflict a world of hurt for running away from him. As he grabs her and throws her to the floor we discover two things. Firstly the father is a mutant, his face clearly covered in scales. Secondly, who the child is…a petrified Lydia Nance.
X-Men Gold #22
The X-MEN face their deadliest foes…or do they?
The X-MEN face their deadliest foes…or do they? The new…PRESTIGE? And…the GOLD team faces its most devastating loss.

That New Name for Rachel Summers/Grey/Prestige Can’t Come Soon Enough (X-Men Gold #21 Spoilers).
Posted by Rich Johnston.
Last year, Bleeding Cool pointed out that upcoming Amazon solicitations were suggesting that Rachel Summers/Rachel Grey (depending which comic book you are reading) was going to get a new superhero name to replace the current “Prestige”.
Which was the terrible name she gained at the beginning of ResurrXion.
Well, the comics have been heading in that direction… with dreams of her former mutant-hunting Hound self…
And when in a coma, her Hound facial markings seemed to return…
Could it be… Hound? Wardog? Spike?
No, that’s taken…. shame, they do rock a similar look.

The pair of soon-to-be-newlyweds have a ways to go before their wedding day (which doesn't arrive until June), so before they and the rest of the X-Men can celebrate their nuptials, they'll have to deal with the Brotherhood's latest scheme, and solve the mystery of whatever is going on with Rachel Summers.

... Jean Grey #11 scan ...
viernes, 2 de febrero de 2018
After a brief fight with the prehistoric Phoenix, Jean is transported to another era, and another, each with its own resident Phoenix host – from Rachel Grey’s dystopian future, to the Shi’Ar warrior Rook’Shir in the Shi’Ar Civil War. As Jean and Rook’Shir fight, their telekinetic clash leads to the very planet they’re on being destroyed.
Finally Jean ends up in Xavier’s school in the earliest days of the team. One by one she confronts her former teammates – and Xavier himself – until she finds the Phoenix Force. The Phoenix explains she’s in the White Hot Room – but that it didn’t bring her there. She arrived through her own force of will, giving her some power over both the White Hot Room and the Phoenix.
With the strength of this realization, Jean convinces Phoenix to expel her by fully resurrecting her in the real world. As she is returned to life, she stumbles to her quarters – where she’s confronted by the adult Jean, who tells her they need to talk.
The older Jean’s story continues in February 7’s X-Men Red #1, while the younger Jean appears monthly in X-Men: Blue.
