X-MEN Will Have Surprise 'New World/Shared Universe' Post-SECRET WARS, 'Extraordinary' New Team

http://www.newsarama.com/23947-axel-alonso-says-x-men-will-have-new-world-post-secret-wars.html

What will the Marvel comics line look like after Secret Wars? For the X-Men, it'll be a whole new world - literally.

Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso told CBR that the company is building "an entire new world for the characters" after Secret Wars.

"The X-Men office is taking the opportunity of Secret Wars to build an entire new world for the characters - to create a shared universe within the X-books that's set off by a huge event/incident/surprise," says Alonso. "At that point, they're going to introduce a new team that feels unlike anything you've seen before. It'll be... 'extraordinary.'"


It's possible that Alonso is being metaphorical, but taking his words at face value it would seem Marvel is planning on splitting the X-Men titles into their own universe, separate from the primary Marvel universe. Although it might sound odd, Marvel did something similiar in 1996 wherein the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man and The Hulk were removed from the primary universe and into a seperate universe and seperate line.

To me it almost seems like they are literally going to move the X-Men to a different world so they are no longer part of the Marvel Universe. Which really shouldn't surprise anyone. If there gonna do it though I say they should bring back all the dead characters including Jean and the recently deceased Wolverine. Launch with a fresh start. No Gimmicks.

 

[Sandfox]

He's more than likely being metaphorical, but if he's not than the X-Men work better standalone so I would want it to happen.

 

[shadyspace]

Fine by me. I've been a devoted Marvel reader for the last 15 years and have never bought a single X-title.

 

[Palette Swap]

So, is this a reboot too?

 

[adj_noun]

They're gonna exile Wolverine to Dagobah.

 

[mreddie]

So, is this a reboot too?

We knew some things were getting rebooted but I think everyone knew the Mutants would get boned.

 

[Sandfox]

They're gonna exile Wolverine to Dagobah.

What color would his lightsaber claws be?

 

[Gambit 1138]

So, is this a reboot too?

We don't know but the cover to Avengers #1 shows a bunch of legacy characters that are around right now like Ms.Marvel and girl Thor so its going to be more like new 52 where editors decide what stories continue and what stuff gets full reboot. What a mess.

I want a return to the 90s X-Men where they do their own thing and its a full team. No Schisms and unity squads and magneto being a good guy crap:

It's just Thor, bro.

 

[mreddie]

Said it in the COMICS thread but I'll say it here too.

What will this mean for certain Mutants that have their movie/TV rights in the MCU?

That's a pretty big assumption on your part.

That would depend on what actually happens.

 

[Gambit 1138]

It's just Thor, bro.

Nay Sister this be Thor:

Nope they wills till be part of the MU. Hell even more so

Not a damn thing

 

[kirblar]

X-Men being in their own universe in the movies is definitely an accident that turned out to be a great thing. Trying it in the comics definitely isn't the worst idea.

Real talk: it won't mean shit as it's just Newsarama being their usual posterchild for illiteracy in comics. The fact we have to tolerate that site's sensationalistic tripe just speaks volumes about the quality of news reporting in comics.

 

[Mengetsu]

They will change history and they will change mutants into Inhumans somehow in this.

 

[Slayven]

It will probably mean that the X-men are back as a single unit. No more Team Goldballs and Team Wolverine. It will probably be just Team Goldballs.

You really won't let this shit go. LOL

But the Inhumans are the Marvel Earth X-Men now:

He will reboot the MU through sheer force of will

Becomes the best selling X men comic in years.

Gold balls, Rockslide, Pixie, Ruby Summers and so forth.

 

[mreddie]

That would depend on what actually happens.

Hopefully it doesn't result in 13 X Men books, I get solo titles but 4 X Teams? Why?

 

[Palette Swap]

But the Inhumans are the Marvel Earth X-Men now:

Yeah. And Secret Wars is a reboot.

And Whiz Kid.


Never forget Whiz Kid

 

[Supermanisdead]

Secret Wars sounding more and more like my official ending point with Marvel comics...

 

[graffix13]

I am a huge X-Fan. Not sure I feel about this.

Just don't regress/kill Cyclops and I'll buy.

 

[Slayven]

But the Inhumans are the Marvel Earth X-Men now:

The old is New

 

[Supermanisdead]

and stop trying to make fetch happen with the inhumans

 

[Weiss]

I hope this ends up with X-Men on their own verse. Even if it's just petty office politics, they work better alone and now have the chance to tell more meaningful stories.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Cyclops better end up the hero that saves everyone in Secret Wars.

 

[Sandfox]

The Inhumans are nowhere close to be Marvel's new version of the X-Men.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Why is Johnny with the Inhumans now?

 

[mreddie]

The Inhumans are nowhere close to be Marvel's new version of the X-Men.

Aside from Medusa, Crystal and Kamala, I give no fucks about the Inhumans.

 

[J10]

Cyclops better end up the hero that saves everyone in Secret Wars.

My money is on Captain America or Doom.

 

[Gambit 1138]

Why is Johnny with the Inhumans now?

because the fantastic four are gone because Marvel doesn't own the film & merchandise rights to them. They do own the rights to a "human torch" though

 

[Sandfox]

Why is Johnny with the Inhumans now?

He has always had a somewhat close relationship with the Inhumans. The real issue is that Marvel wants to forget that Crystal exists.

 

[Slayven]

Why is Johnny with the Inhumans now?

Can't get over his Ex.

Oh my god marvel is tying inhumans to the FF in an attempt to screw Fox

 

[Sandfox]

That makes no sense when you consider that the movies and merch get people interested in the comics and not the other way around.

Someone better tell Hickman because the FF been pretty major in his Avengers

"a result of Disney’s highest single shareholder and Marvel CEO Isaac Perlmutter’s anger with Fox Studios over negotiations regarding the film-and-related rights to The Fantastic Four, that Marvel would cancel the Fantastic Four comic rather than provide any promotion, however small it might be, towards the Fox Studios film. Merchandise and licenses were scrapped and even Fantastic Four posters in the offices were pulled down lest Perlmutter see one and have his ire raised."

Which is ending in like 2 weeks

 

[TheKaeptain]

Easy bet. It's always Cap.

If they're going to change the X-Men dynamic Cyke needs to either do some heroic and then disappear for awhile or die.

naw, i cant go for that

It would be amazing to see Cycle come in as the big hero and be a leader again and Wolverine, Jean, Beast, Gambit, Rogue, Jubilee, and the other core X-Men rallying behind him to save the day. Shit would be amazing but I dunno if Marvel corporate would go for it.

 

[The Silver]

Everyone will finally admit #Cyclopswasright

They couldn't have canceled it because sales? Nah taht would be crazy. I mean if Marvel was that petty they would cancel X-Men as well.

 

[Gintamen]

Heh, I did actually forget that she does, hasn't appeared in a single issue in a whole now. Where has Marvel kept her captive?

 

[Parallax]

on x-factor before it ended. cameo appearances though. her daughter appeared more than she has

 

[J10]

Cyclops was wrong though.

 

[Slayven]

Heh, I did actually forget that she does, hasn't appeared in a single issue in a whole now. Where has Marvel kept her captive?

In space, she is married to Ronan
