COMICS: Marvel Announces, Uncanny X-Men #1 And Wolverine & The X-Men #1!

Following the cancellation of Uncanny X-Men following issue #544, Marvel have now revealed plans for "Regenesis" featuring two separate X-Men books with two very different teams! Check it out...

In what Marvel are calling, "X-Men Regenesis," October and November will see the launch of two new teams of X-Men, with Wolverine & The X-Men #1 due in October and Uncanny X-Men #1 following soon after in November. Both books will feature a wide variety of the mutant superheroes, with former friends on different sides and chasing different goals.



Editor Nick Lowe said, "The best thing about this split is that the two books hit two very different chords. One is hardcore super hero action and the other is something else entirely that I can't go too deep into without spoiling 'Schism.' The best way I can describe it is a return to a structure that made the X-Men what it was."

"''The events in 'Schism' will cause a huge rift in the X-Men, the ripple effects of which will be felt in Marvel Universe," Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso added. "In the course of this story, Cyclops and Logan will realize that there is no way for them to continue on the course they've been going — or, indeed, to even co-exist."

He finished by concluding that after "Schism" the two new teams, "will stare at each other across a philosophical chasm the size of the Grand Canyon. This is a war for the heart of the X-Men."

I...I can't even read mainstream comics anymore. Event after event after event...all of them "CHANGING TEH STATUS QUO!"

I miss the days when you could read a self-contained story in a 2-3 issue arc without having to pick up a dozen other books just to get the whole story.

With all the constant changes what status quo do we have to change? Not to say I mind changes, I'm more open to them than most fanboys, but Chrissakes...can't we have like 1 year without events or insane cross-overs or gimmick deaths/resurrections?

I don't think either DC or Marvel could do it. Every little precious title I enjoy gets canceled or gets a new "creative" team that ruins what I loved about the book (Exiles, Daredevil, Agents of Atlas).

I'm gonna go read some more Scalped and Walking Dead.

the artwork it looks like chris bachalo which i think is awesome.

definetly one of marvel's best artists.

i predicted cyclops would die but from that image he looks like his gonna live.

i still don't see why cancel the uncanny x-men just to relaunch it with a issue 1.

marvel could of kept uncanny x-men going & just launched another wolverine book.

neither one will die..both cyke and wolvie are too valuable. plus ultimate line had their versions killed just a little bit ago..they wont pull the same stunt twice. i do like how xavier is split between the two sides..veeeery interesting.

@Stubbz ease up on @theAstonishingCyclops, comic book pubs general put out teasers that can lead into certain ideas. this may not be the end result but its interesting to see emma away from cyke, and psylock and storm away from wolvie. and magneto is thrown into is pretty dope as well.

Yeah, that's Chris Bachalo. I agree that he's one of Marvel's best artists (and Vertigo when he did Death:THCOL). One of the best storytellers in the business (amazing panel work). Some don't like stylized comics, but it doesn't mean it's shit...just means you don't like it.
You can tell that many people have not been reading the comics. Thinking that Cyclops will get the sheep hows that people have not experienced Scott's leadership in the last 7 years. He kicked out Professor X for mind-wiping the X-Men when they were young, he put together a task-(X)Force of assasins for goodness sakes. People complain about this and that and have not even gotten into the story, they just remember aspects of what they like from the 80s or 90s. Trust me, it wasn't all gold back then...

It was bound to happen that they'd restart at number 1 with Uncanny...it was the last Marvel book standing. In the end, its about the bottom line of selling comics. Number ones sell. And really well at that. Yeah, I'm unhappy that my collection won't be super-awesome numbered, but I care more for a good story anyways..so I hope it's good.

Cyclops all the way!

@Endersum Agree with you, Mr. Bachalo is one of the greatest and, though Scott has always been my favorite comic book character, many didn't like some aspects of him, mainly because of his treatment through the late 80's-early 90's. Nowdays, Cyclops is one of the most complex and interesting characters out there. People should check Whedon's run, IMO he received the best treatment in ages there.

@AlcoholicA Too much of the overrated Wolverine indeed, Marvel should give him a "Wolverineverse" or something and keep him out of all other titles.

Gee. What a shock. Uncanny X-Men isn't being "ended". It's merely being rebooted with a new #1. Exactly what I figured they were doing. Sigh. Again with the gimmicks. I miss the old days when the X-Men sold books by telling intelligent stories about complex and fascinating characters. That's the one thing neither Marvel nor DC want to try to reverse their declining sales, and it's the one thing that would work.

Puyguy: I don't know about WORSE than Liefeld, but that anatomy of Wolverine is at least as bad as his art. This has to be among the worst X-Men art I've ever seen The worst was a guy maybe eight to ten years ago that drew all his characters with these big noses that made them all look like Geddy Lee from Rush. Every one of them had the same face, too. Can't think of his name. When you need to read the word balloons to try to identify characters you've read for like twenty years, that is clue #1 the book has a really sucky artist. Thankfully, he didn't last long.

Stupid. It's not really the last issue of Uncanny X-Men if they are, with not pause whatsoever, starting over with #1 of the exact same title. And what? "Wolverine and the X-Men"??????? That's already a book, it's called Uncanny X-Force. Too much damn Wolverine.

All I know is, if for some reason Emma takes Wolverine's side, I GUARANTEE you they will bring back Jean Grey. Remember when the Phoenix force randomly left everyone who had a piece of it a while back, and NO ONE"S MENTIONED it since then?.....mark my words.

@comicb00kguy i agree...way too many gimmicks, not enough good stories that can carry themselves. i guess is just a sign of a struggling industry. the only artists i can think of from that far back would of been kia asamiya with the dominant species run, or ron garney who was the artist at the time. but i've always dug chris bachalo. great storyteller and his pencils are full of energy. sometimes i will say its too much and you don't really know whats going on in the panel. but that's neither here nor there. besides there not that many people who are worse than liefeld.

ZombieOverEasy: I couldn't agree more. I know more people, myself included, that have quit buying comics, or have cut way back, because they are so disgusted with the nonstop 'events'.

I don't mind 'changes' in books or characters when they flow naturally from the stories, as opposed to when it's forced to fit into some big marketing push.

comicb00kguy
comicb00kguy - 6/16/2011, 6:57 AM
I think Asamiya was the one. All the characters looked alike, and they all had these big Geddy Lee noses. It was awful. I liked Bachalo's early stuff, especially his run on Generation X. I can't describe it- something changed in his art when he came back on X-Men that I just didn't like. I will grant that Bachalo does know how to lay out a page well and tell the story with his pictures, there's just something in his people I don't like.

ellispart3 - 6/16/2011, 6:59 AM
@comicb00kguy makes sense..wasnt a huge fan of asamiya or his costume redesign (honestly i loved frank quitely's costume for the x-crew). bachalo's style change over the years mos def. i think he is at a point where he is experimenting and trying to grow. so its really hit or miss now.

@ZombieOverEasy Right the f**k on dude!

tired of these cross over, big event, game changing stories that don't do anything besides get reset later on down the line by writers who are bombarded by fans who want the books to go back to how they were. i'm not saying i'm not open to change (i loved that peter parker was able to grow through the years, marry mary jane, get a job as a teacher, ect and hated that they reset everything to have the same feel of the early silver age spidey..f**kin' one more day) but i would like change to occur at it's natural points, not just when sales are slumping. that looks desperate. bring back good stories.

This is a big example of one of the flaws of information technology and advertising. Overhyping. With immediate access to information about these things it's too easy to slap on a buzzword like 'event' and oversell it to extinction. Not necessarily bad ideas, but we're so burned out by the time they actually COME OUT that we don't care and sales go down for those titles because they seem like gimmicks rather than writing. Rebooting a title has always been a bit extreme to me, but I kind of miss the days when you had to find out in a month what was going to happen and I could make that decision after the concept has settled in my brain. Now all someone has to do is post an article online with a buzzword like 'event' or send you and email.
