New MU Teaser changes artist.

[Harpsikord]

sorry, my bad wording, I meant x-men as a franchising, not only from a story point of view.
This events don´t have the x-men sucess in mind but only the promotion of the inhumans, while having tons of evidences that the inhumans books will not reach the sales of the x-men.

I don't see how this could be the case with a title like 'RessurXion,' honestly, and I also don't think that either the Inhumans or X-Men are going to end up as "villains" during IvX because they seem to be working together again during this.

well, we just have to wait and see, I supose, suffering from antecipation over small things is a very anoying flaw of mine.

[Mike_Murdock]

Ew I didn’t even notice it didn’t have the “e”. Why, Marvel?

That's how it always worked:
X-Tinction Agenda
X-Cutioner's Song
X-Termination

There's also the X-Treme X-Men.

I guess the one exception is Messiah CompleX, which I honestly didn't know had a capital X until I checked wikipedia.

[Anduinel]

Huh. Cullen Bunn doing horror is no-brainer, so no big shock there. I am honestly surprised that Marvel's stacking that much artistic talent on what looks to be a creature project, especially given how Blade's new series has stalled and Howling Commandos flopped. But I guess Marvel's honestly giving it the best shot they can.

Also, PhoeniX Endsong.

[Mike_Murdock]

Well, that doesn't end in an Ex sound, so it couldn't just be an X.

I always thought it was cool how Marvel always had those "X" puns in the X-men titles.

Yeah but I liked those because there wasn't a random X in the middle of the word.

It's like they haven't learned anything from their efforts to make the Inhumans happen...

[Chrysalis_Changling]

hopefully this means More Morbius

We can only assume they are seeking to cash in on the upcoming trend, with the Universal Monster movies in the pipeline. However even Universal seem to have backed off a bit from that, probably due to the public at large just not caring about such an obviously artificial approach to creating a multi-character franchise.

On the other hand Marvel have not really gone all-in on horror comics for years. It is hardly worth comparing the Howling Commandos outing to the early monster comics. We also don't know how far back this will look. The assumption is they would hark back to the Tomb of Dracula / Werewolf by Night / Frankenstein days of the early seventies, and of course the original Monsters Unleashed magazine, but they could be reaching back to the Kirby monster comics, which were also anthologies.

I guess it is no coincidence that MU mirrors UM for "Universal Monsters".

The prospect of the return of horror pin-ups could suggest Land will be on covers.

The new Monsters Unleashed logo does look very inspired by the original 1973 Curtis volume, which had its focus on Frankenstein's Monster circa 1970s, Warewolf By Night, Man-Thing and Wendigo, along with 1950s reprints. I somehow doubt they would go black and white or full magazine like the original.

hopefully this means More Morbius

And hopefully less crybaby Morbius.

[Chrysalis_Changling]

Morbius came to grips with being a vampire in his last series

[Leach]

Those work for me because the X is at the beginning. the word isn't thrown off midway through pronouncing it.
