Marvel's Next Event Book will Focus on Apocalypse and Archangel

Bleedingcool reports that what's coming next year for Marvel Comics for their event book will revolve around the Celestials, Archangel, Apocalypse and more importantly, Magneto.

Obviously the writers for this project will be Jason Aaron (Wolverine and the X-Men) and Rick Remender (who did a lot for these characters back in the first volume of Uncanny X-Force; including "The Dark Angel Saga").

So it's probably time to start re-reading Remender's Uncanny run as well as the earlier issues of WATXM (you know, the one where Warren's gone off his rocker and believes that he's a real angel). Oh and the rumor site cited current Captain America and Kick-Ass artist John Romita Jr. as the book's main art guy.

AvX Vs # 5 - Hawkeye Emulates Wolverine

Leinil Yu does this week's AvX VS # 5 and he gets to go crazy on marquee characters Hawkeye and Archangel.

Oh and the dialogue is written by Matt Fraction who also does the ongoing Hawkeye book (which was an entertaining read last month).

This issue [Uncanny X-Force # 29] shows us that love can spring and blossom even for clandestine black ops mutant killers...

Kid Apocalypse aka Genesis and his Superman Allusions

Wolverine and the X-Men # 10 had a lot of book changing moments [do check out my Wolverine and the X-Men # 10 Spoilers] but there was certainly something on that comic book that I felt needed to be discussed on a separate blog post.

This has got to do with Kid Apocalypse aka Genesis who is now a student at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

In issue # 10 we get to see the burgeonign relationship of Evan and Archangel who is still convinced that he is an angel and not a mutant. This issue also yet again showed allusions to Superman thanks to the Evan's rescue of Warren.

Oh Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo must have had a good time doing this particular page. Rick Remender might have been even laughing at this segment. Still, its a particularly great looking imagery. Hopefully Marvel doesn't misuse or abuse this character. He'll make a lot of interesting stories in the future if the House of Ideas plays their cards right.

The Final Fate of Archangel in the Dark Angel Saga Conclusion in Uncanny X-Force # 18
