X-Men: Gold and X-Men: Blue
Marvel has released two more teasers, this time for X-Men: Gold and X-Men: Blue comic book series.

Image
Image

Gold and Blue were the team names of two different X-Men squads during the '90s. With the X-Men franchise ballooning to massive popularity during that time, two X-Men comics were launched with the different teams, each sporting unique member rosters.

Gold consisted of Storm, Bishop, Archangel, Jean Grey, Colossus, and Iceman.

Blue had Cyclops, Wolverine, Jubliee, Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, and Rogue.

As has been the ResurrXion teaser trend, both teasers show images clipped from the long history of the X-Men all the way up to the present. The images seem to reflect the classic lineups, more or less, but we'll have to wait until Spring 2017 to see how it all pans out.

Can someone give me the Cliff's Notes version of what happens in Preacher TPB book 1? I started with book 2 and I think I get most of it. But would love to fill in some blanks.

I've read the Volume 2 trade paperback. I skipped volume 1. But I'm enjoying volume 3 right now.

The third volume of the Preacher books is way better than the second volume. But I like how the mythology builds. I wouldn't like 3 as much without 2. Which leads me to believe I would have liked 2 more if I'd read 1.
