Amazing Moments from Amazing X-Men # 2

I'm definitely good with Jason Aaron's current "Amazing X-Men" book and with issue # 2 shipping out last week, I just had to focus on this in a blog post. So here folks, are some of the best moments (IMHO) from Amazing X-Men # 2 by Jason Aaron and Ed McGuiness.

1. Storm goes Ballistic on the demons

Left with no powers in hell, a very fierce Storm goes ballistic on the demons they are facing. You have to remember that Storm is no pushover. She once defeated Cyclops in a very serious fight without her powers.

2. A Peter Pan Reference

Resident semi-speedster Northstar also joins the fight somewhere in issue # 2 and he actually goes and give off this "Peter Pan" ish feel in his panel. Heck he's even asking if the demon pirates have a captain with a hook for his hand.

3. The Demon Pirate captains...

... are pretty cool. Hey was that Billy the Kid now having six arms manhandling Storm? Check out the knives on the other captain...

4. Iceman Freezes Hell

With nothing to loss, Bobby Drake cuts lose with his powers freezing the demonic horde and, he'll definitely make the Eagles proud what with "Hell freezes over" and stuff.

5. Professor X is in Heaven



One of the really weird things about AXM is the fact that the X-Men are totally oblivious to where they were teleported. Sure you can say that they were not expecting it but doesn't it seem to be a bit off-character to not be able to determine whatsoever where the blue imp-like bamfs have teleported them to. Firestar, Storm and Iceman even took a couple of pages to realize that they were in hell and all that. A bit of a suck that's all.

Oh and yeah, Professor X is making a cameo here in heaven as he's the voice of reason and logic Wolverine is hearing while clinging to dear life on a plank. (Yeah... don't ask)

Overall, I liked Amazing X-Men # 2 and I'm still at the edge of my seat waiting for how they'll overcome this new challege.

And eventually figure out a way to bring back Nightcrawler from the dead.

More Jean Grey and Wolverine in New The Wolverine Trailer

The new trailer for 20th Century Fox's "The Wolverine" now has a segment focusing on the tragic love story between Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman).

 
This new trailer from the film directed by James Mangold also features the same stuff from past trailers including Yukio finding Logan; Logan heading to Japan and meeting who I assume is Shingen; the fight with ninjas; Jackman getting shot plus all that. The ending is different however. 

James McAvoy Looks Grizzled in Days of Future Past Photo

Why does James McAvoy resemble Gary Sinise's Lt.Dan in this new photo from the set of Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past?

He's reprising his role as Professor X from 'X-Men: First Class" by the way. And also why the eff is he looking so grizzled??? And why is he in a wheelchair while Patrick Stewart is walking about; particularly in this juicy rumor... Another new mystery that's waiting to be solved when X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters 2014.

The Wolverine Post-Credit Scene Rumors Begin

X-Men Origins: Wolverine had a weird post-credit scene but it looks like for 20th Century Fox's "The Wolverine" it's only going to be a single post-credit scene which has ties to Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. 

Find out what it is after the cut...

Patrick Stewart Wearing James McAvoy's Professor X Uniform?

Am I seeing things or is the older Professor X played by Sir Patrick Stewart wearing the James McAvoy's X-Men uniform from 'First Class'?

How can I tell? Notice the shoulder straps? It's very similar to the one in the Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men: First Class. Oh and there's also the collar. That collar looked great on Michael Fassbender's Magneto but not so much for James McAvoy's Charles Xavier.

Professor X Will Join the War in Avengers vs X-Men

Based on Comicbookresources' sneak peek we should definitely see Professor X join the war between the Avengers and the X-Men in AvX.

It's pretty interesting to note that we last saw Professor X in the pages of Wolverine and the X-Men where he was seen giving his blessings to Wolverine who was opening the new school.

Based on the images on this page drawn by Olivier Coipel it would seem that Charles Xavier will be joining the battle. It's also safe to assume that joining Xavier would be his son former evil mutant Legion. Also its also nice to know that its Magneto that waits for Xavier as he reaches the shores of Utopia.
