I cicli fumetti, soprattutto i Marvel, ogni due anni circa arrivano a quel punto che puó essere definito "caciara". Si intenda per caciara quel punto ideale di sviluppo trama che caratterizza una roba tipo Beautiful, la soap. Dove tutti quelli che sembravano morti sono vivi, tutti quelli che sembravano buoni sono cattivi e soprattutto tutto quello che credevate, per stringere, é falso. Sono dieci anni, con questo undici, che seguo la serie Ultimates, l'universo attualizzato dei supereroi Marvel ed ero al punto di considerare la cosa giunta a un punto morto, dopo l'Armageddon scatenato da Magneto (milioni di [...]

A few months back I found myself in a rather interesting conversation about the film X-Men: First Class . I was at one of our local Toronto Blogger pub nights and conversation was flowing about numerous film related topics. Somehow I ended up defending the latest X-Men film. Now while I enjoyed X-Men: First Class , it is not necessarily a film I would usually go out of my way to defend. However, I found myself championing the film nonetheless. Like all good discussions about film, the conversation evolved into an [...]
X-Men has continually been the one super hero franchise that has had solid titles made for it, through the course of the last twenty years. While many of these titles now are focused on the fighting aspect of the X-Men, X-Men Destiny keeps things interesting by building an action-RPG title from scratch. What results is [...]
I was fairly sure that the X-Men franchise was gradually going to come to an end after the X-Men Origins: Wolverine title did a little worse than movie executives thought. X-Men: First Class was the way in which the X-Men franchise was able to properly gain steam, and I believe that Fox's work with this [...]

Fox Home Entertainment has released the DVD and Blu-ray of X-Men: First Class today. Marvel really had a great summer with three fantastic superhero films: X-Men: First Class, Thor and Captain America; all are worth owning. The X-Men prequel film is no exception and has a cool 602s vibe with great action sequences and eye-popping special effects. Extras on the Blu-ray release includes 10 Marvel "X-Men" Digital Comics with exclusive "X-Men: First Class" Backstory Comic, a Cerebro Mutant Tracker: The complete interactive Mutant Database with interactive videos, a Children of the Atom eight-part behind-the-scenes featurette, an "X" Marks [...]

X-Men: First Class As the old saying goes, if at first you do not succeed, try and try again. In many ways this perfectly encapsulates the X-men film franchise. Of the three previous X-men films, and the Wolverine spinoff, only X2 truly captured the essence of the comics on screen. The original X-men played it too safe while the third film, X-Men: Last Stand , cared more about its special effects that of its plot. [...]
Remember in X-Men: First Class when Charles Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr go to the strip club to recruit Angel and they want to get her to reveal how her dragonfly tattoos actually emerge from her body to form real wings? It was a great scene built on the chemistry of actors James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. In that scene, Magneto shows Angel how he can levitate things, but we never see Charles demonstrate his power. Well, E W got their hands on the deleted scene. Unfortunately, the clip isn't embeddable. [...]
Anyone that knows me in real life, knows I'm a MASSIVE geek. So when I stumbled across this Addictive TV video earlier ' Supers' - a five minute video featuring some the most famous characters from the Marvel and DC universe commited to film, edited together with every CRASH, BANG, THWAP, SNIKT, SMASH and KABOOM cut perfectly in time with the soundtrack, I knew I had to repost. Addictive TV is made up of UK based DJ/producers and audiovisual artists: Francoise Lamy, Graham Daniels, Mark Vidler and Nick Clarke. Having previously been voted DJ magazines [...]

Dopo varie vicissitudini, cambi di regia e sceneggiature modificate, finalmente il primo film del progetto di una trilogia legato al prequel della saga degli eroi mutanti creati da Stan Lee e Jack Kirby vede la luce. Bryan Singer , vero factotum della serie, regista dei primi due capitoli ed indicato inizialmente come autore anche di questo capitolo, è qui nelle vesti di produttore mentre il timone della regia viene affidato a Matthew Vaughn , dopo gli ottimi risultati con il suo adattamento cinematografico della graphic novel "Kick Ass". Torniamo alle origini per [...]

The Uncanny X-Men, soon to end in just a few more issues, won't be gone for long. Two new titles will replace Marvel Comics' longest-running current series in November as it draws a 48-year run to a close with issue No. 544. In what the publisher is calling "X-Men Regenesis," two separate teams calling themselves the X-Men will take root this fall with the respective series — "Wolverine & The X-Men" due in October and "Uncanny X-Men" starting in November. They will feature a divided roster of former friends and colleagues under decidedly different leadership and boasting competing goals. Nick Lowe, who has edited the current series and Marvel's X-Men [...]

Thoughts on Film Movie Review by Max Bowen Over the last several years, it seems Marvel is bound and determined to take every one of its 3,267 titles and bring it to the silver screen. From Ant-Man to X-Men, we've seen plenty of films come out, and they've been pretty hit or miss. Some, like Spider-Man 2, are among the [...]

The X-Men comic book franchise started in 1964 as a daring parable: gifted individuals (more engaging/descriptive word?) persecuted for being born "differently" than the rest of the world. These "mutants" had two divergent leaders in Professor X, the MLK stand-in who believed humans and mutants could live together in harmony and Magneto, the Malcolm X radical who wanted mutants to rule over their inferior human counterparts. This has always been the crux of the X-Men storyline and compelling enough to maintain comic book's most popular franchise for 50 years. [...]
