Doop and Iron Fist Gets Their Own Ongoing for All New Marvel Now

Fan-favorites Doop and Iron Fist will be getting their own ongoing comic books within the year! 

Doop's ongoing will be written by Peter Milligan with art by David Lafuente with the first story arc centered on the events that transpired in X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM.

As an X-Fanboy, I'm happy that they'll be doing this but sad because Peter Milligan and Mike Allred passed on the chance to re-invent and kickstart a new X-STATIX series.

Oh the Avengers side of things, another artist whom I adore is back on doing IRON FIST, ladies and gents, Kaare Andrews... Oh and check out the previews for Iron Fist # 1...

“The defining aspect of Danny Rand is the loss of a father and a quest for honor and vengeance. Yet, these are themes that haven’t been explored again since his origin story back in the 70s. We need to bring Danny back to this state of blind rage and self-destruction. Remember – this is a man who traded immortality for vengeance. And the consequences of that are what I’m most interested in.”

Seriously, the only thing missing here is Orson Rand. :(

SPOILERS - Who Defects After X-Men: Battle of the Atom

Just like that X-Men: Battle of the Atom is done, we got a lot of good moments from this book but for me I still feel it's lacking. Still, the best treats are the ones at the end, the sweet payoff here for X-Men: Battle of the Atom # 2 comes in a defector.

So what happens is the two X-Men teams band together as they protect themselves from SHIELD, including SHIELD sentinels.

Old Future Xorn Jean tries to fight but goes 'boom'. The evil Xavier and the rest of the Brotherhood have scattered. Back in the Jean Grey School, we get two prologues. One written by Jason Aaron and the other done by Brian Michael Bendis. 

NOOOOOO! Don't leave us!!!



Double NOOOOOOOOO! Even the O5 X-Men!!! What's going to happen to All New X-Men now???

Let's scratch that as a big win for Team Summers. Although, this particular page gave X-Men fans a glimmer of hope.

Well, at least it really did shake the status quo...

Also, I wonder what's going to happen to the time displaced Brotherhood of Evil Mutants members like Beast and Xavier's grandson??

X-MEN # 6 SPOILER - Who is SENTINEL X?

SPOILER ALERT

So who is the person inside that Iron Man/ Sentinel hybrid armor running around with the second X-Men team in the future? Well Brian Wood's X-MEN # 6 provides the answers and it's pretty heartwarming.

So what happens is the Uncanny team led by Cyclops and joined by the second X-Men from the future arrive at the Jean Grey School only to see it in shambles. The mysterious Sentinel X does recon for the team.

When Sentinel X arrives at the ruined JGSHL he finds this:

and he's none other than:

Yep. Him

Grab your copies of X-Men # 6 as it's also part of the ongoing X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM X-Over.

All New X-Men # 17 Spoilers

Check out the major spoilers for All New X-Men # 17; still part of the X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM

Oh by the way this was written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Stuart Immonen.

1. Alison Blaire aka Dazzler becomes the President of the United States in the future

2. She was even backed by the future X-Men

Which is very cool and very un-X-Men like especially since they're NOT into that kind of politics.

3. Meet the Future X-Men

So who do we have:

• a Nick Fury-esque Daisy Johnson (or Maria Hill)
• Vision
• a wheelchaired Captain America
• a woman who looks like Storm
• moustachio Colossus
• Kate Pryde
• Charles Xavier's grandson
• IceMan (or is it IceMage)
• Xorn Jean
• Beast
• A guy who looks like Daimon Helstrom
• Molly Hayes
• Quintin Quire as the Phoenix
• someone who looks like Peter Wisdom
• A new Sorcerer Supreme who also looks like Cloak
• an old Tempus
• Iron Man/ Iron lad
• Jubilee who now goes by Wolverine
• Kubark aka Kid Gladiator

4. President Dazzler dies



I can't help but remember "X-Men: The End" where Kitty Pryde wins the elections and becomes the POTUS or was that a U.S. Senator??? Anyway at least Kitty didn't bite the bullet in that story. Still there was a massive bodycount in the first act. And there was no hellfire involved.

5. after the assassination, there's also a demonic invasion in front of the White House...

That does not look pretty

6. Then we meet the surviving X-Men

Or rather Magik, O5 Beast and O5 Iceman meet the future X-Men.

7. Why is Moustachio Colossus carrying Magik's soulsword?

Apparently before Magik "disappeared" she gave her older brother that badass soulsword. Oh and it's pretty nice to see the brother and sister actually look happy to see each other. They haven't been friendly with each other ever since AVX and AVX Consequences.

8. Hank McCoy 'snaps'



After years of death and hatred, future Hank McCoy finally calls it quits with Xavier's dream and decides that it's time to take matters into his own hands (again). There's also a poignant and quiet moment in this part of the issue where Colossus and Iceman just look at a very depressed Beast at ground zero...



9. I love the new Jean Grey School in the future



Can I enroll? Because I really want to enroll in a school with a building that looks like a Shiar battleship docked in the school grounds.

10. The future X-Men vote either to stay in the future or fight McCoy's wayward X-Men?

Guess it looks like 'Wolverine' got outvoted.

Remarks:

I love that they managed to squeeze in this much backstory in a single issue. I keep saying that X-Men: Battle of the Atom is a very underrated story and this issue proves my point. The pacing is still good and though people might be confused, the loyal X-Fan would just appreciate everything that's been poured into this issue.

Even better is the fact that it whet's our appetite for all things coming from this future. What confuses me however is how far in the future this is. And where is Marvel's mutant poster boy Wolverine in all this. In fact, where the hell is baby Shogo, you know, Jubilee's 'son'.

Argh. So many questions, too little pages. Please churn out more stuff for BotA. Oh and I know it's too late Marvel but could you exclude Brian Wood's X-Men from all this? Thanks.

Wolverine and the X-Men # 36 Spoilers

Following up on the events of Marvel's "Battle of the Atom" with the help of Jason Aaron and Guiseppi Camuncoli which transpire in WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN # 36.

1. Cyclops Teams up with Old Cyclops

Really cool moment when O5 Cyclops finds himself with his back against his older Phoenix Force corrupted self while fighting the X-Men from the future.

2. Jean Grey vs Emma Frost, O5 Jean Grey and the Stepford Cuckoos

Another cool yet poorly executed moment. The Cuckoos team up with the younger Jean and Emma to fight off the psychic attacks of the Xorn-ized future Jean Grey.

3. O5 Jean is stronger than Xorn Jean

In a surprising turn of events the younger Jean Grey beats her "older" self and makes the ultimate mistake of peering into Xorn Jean's mind. These two panels might just be the ultimate turning point for X-Men: Battle of the Atom. In fact this panel's effect might be carried over to the upcoming All New X-Men/ Guardians of the Galaxy crossover.

4. What Jean saw

Whatever the hell Jean Grey saw in Xorn Jean's head screwed her up badly as she immediately reliquinshes her first decision to stay in the present Marvel Universe.Again whatever she chose to do or not to do automatically leads to some interesting storyline in the near future.

5. Deadpool is hiding something

Prior to this Deadpool threatened the whole team with suicide if they did not stop fighting. He goes on a verbal tirade about how they mean well for the team and how it is important that the Original Five "do the right thing". We later find out that things are not what they seem. In fact, it looks like Wade Wilson lied about everything.

6. O5 Beast and Iceman team up with Magik and visit the Future

Magik takes Iceman and Beast to the future where we see that things are very, very different; particularly in the Jean Grey School where it looks so beautiful. And then they also have Sentinels patrolling the area.

7. A Second team of future X-Men

Sure we got spoiled with the cover for the next chapter of X-Men: Battle of the Atom but it's still a shock to see the actual team that will join the fight in the next few chapters. Whp are these guys? Since when did the X-Men have an Iron Man/ Sentinel member on their roster? Who's the new Cloak and why is Colossus rocking a metallic moustache.

New Marvel Now Teasers Point to the TRIAL OF JEAN GREY

Two new Marvel Now 2 teasers seems to point out that the rumored Guardians of the Galaxy / X-Men crossover is good to go. 

The aforementioned crossover will be entitled "Trial of Jean Grey" and will most likely rely on whatever the heck happens in "X-Men: Battle of the Atom". 

Personally I don't think that this is going to be just a two-issue thing. Knowing how Bendis wants to drag stuff around and fill issues with "talkies" this could go for around two issues of All New X-Men and two issues for GOTG with Stuart Immonen and Sara Picheli respectively.

ALL NEW X-MEN # 16 Spoilers

Part 2 for X-MEN: BATTLE OF THE ATOM by Bendis and Immonen. 

This post has a doozie of a spoiler. Thread carefully. Oh and here's the link to Part 1 (LINK) 

One of the biggest shockers here in this issue comes in the form of WHO'S UNDER THE XORN MASK.

And then BOOM!



This part of the issue made me want to go all Wolverine and shout "JEANNNNNNNN!"

So yeah, it looks like the whole weirdness happened due to that brief moment in the field where Cyclops died. In their future, with Cyclops dead, mutants did not stand a chance because they didn't have an able leader who made all the tough choices. Basically, the merry mutants world got royally screwed.
