The full title, writer, and team roster have been revealed. This is a new run on Astonishing X-Men by Charles Soule and a yet-to-be-named artist (the cover is by Jim Cheung, but he's not the series artist). The lineup features Archangel, Bishop, Fantomex, Mystique, Rogue, Psylocke, Gambit and Old Man Logan.

Astonishing X-Men #1 will release in July.

Which happens almost every time Cheung does a cover.

June solicitations are out for Marvel. Looks to be dominated by a huge event called SECRET EMPIRE. Hydra Captain America vs Marvel basically. Think I'll be skipping that stuff.

ya knew that would happen eventually... I'm just shocked they were using Old Man Logan at the same time the movie was out.


Marvel really needs to stop with the non stop crossovers / mega events. Ive given up trying to make sense of it all.

I guess I can see your point there, the death was just so well written. And it really did seem final to me anyway, that they wouldn't just pop him back in a year later.

The Wolverine Origins vol 4 "Our War" was great. Wolverine having one last beer inside the Smithsonian with Caps statue.
