X-News on 3/14: 'The Future of Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Digital Comics' Panel

[Kingdom X]

Exceptional X-Men is set in Chicago, following Kate Pride as she tries to leave her mutant past behind. Written by Eve L. Ewing, inked by Carmen Carnero.

- Kate Pride will try to be a barista, but meeting a group of fledgling mutants without guidance pulls her back in as a teacher to new mutants.

- Emma Frost shows up to help lead these three young mutants - Bronze, Axo, and Melee.

Damn they took the “queer blue haired barista” trope a lil too seriously.

Love the new mutants’ designs but I’m disappointed that they’re creating yet another group they’ll forget while Windrider and Surge continue to do absolutely nothing.

And this also confirms that they’re gonna give Ororo that ugly ass mohawk in the comics again after all. Someone has to have a grudge out for her this is INSANE! They JUST gave Kitty a pixie and she’s already back to square one but they have to constantly mess with my queen in every medium. After they started giving her that beautiful Dauterman cloud-like hair.

I'll give Gail Simone writing Nightcrawler a shot; sounds like two great tastes that go great together. Keeping far away from the new kid team - I've been burned too many times there.

I kind of love it.

So the future of digital comics will involve NFTS?

Dan Crothers, CEO and co-founder of @veve_official, took the stage to talk about the future of @Marvel digital comics.

C.B. Talked about how beautiful the art looks on @veve_official. Dan shared that NFT upgrades include randomized rare variant blind options.

#SXSW attendees will get a digital version of X-Men #11 that can be upgraded to a NFT.

The art from the main promo is just so bad that I'm just shell shocked and can't process the rest. It looks like art from that Chuck Austen arc with Havok, Polaris, and the Annie(?) person?

But so far I don't see ANYTHING likeable at all. Yikes to Jubilee's costume in particular.

I hope all you anti-Krakoan era folks are happy lmao

WOT ?
I thought we were over that.

Okies.

My initial thoughts...

X-Men: Like Jed MacKay but Ryan Stegman is...not my favourite artist. Even with Kid Omega there the team is actually pretty solid.
UX-Men: Gail Simone is okies David Marquez's art is stellar. Not excited by the team members shown...and Rogue is still in a version of her ugly 90's rags.
EX-Men: Was not at all impressed with Eve's Photon mini and her BP is just okies...a bit slow and dry. And I'm absolutely not a fan of Carnero's art. Are those all new young characters?I hate what Emma is wearing...but that could be just the promo art, I hope. My least interesting of the three reveals.

Somebody should tell Marvel the NFT craze is completely dead by now.

I knew this was going to be boring as ****. I hate to see my fears confirmed. There is definitely a fall from x and this is it.

At this point I would prefer the school setting…

Very boring. Feels like we have been there a 100 times before…

[Malachi]

Love this Jubilee design. It just clicks for me.

Is she Kitty or Kate? Also...a barista!?

Also I hope this means Emma will be cycling through costumes unless C is just the permanent one they decided on.

[Astroman]

I was worried when Brevoort was announced... and unfortunately, for me and my tastes, I was right to be worried.

Oh well, more money to keep in my pocket I guess.

[Devaishwarya]

No mention of Jean, Storm, Bobby, "Professor" Magneto (even though he's in the promo art) can I dare to hope that they're all part of a fourth book "The Omega Levels" overlooking all of mutants and humanity from a secret place while the X-Teams integrate into and live among human society?

Not completely sold yet on any team as it certainly looks, feels and sounds very back to basics but...I remain open. Waiting to see covers and interior previews.

And Emma's B costume is absolutely the best of the set and what she decided on isn't that great.
