I used the full extent of my X-Men knowledge and deductive prowess to identify the shadows in the X-Men: Regenesis teasers. Now that all the shadows have been eliminated, let’s break down who’s on whose side of the fence after X-Men: Schism. Let’s also see which of my educated guesses were right and which of them were absolutely wrong. Let’s start with Team Cyclops.
When I was trying to figure out who the shadows are in the Uncanny X-Men #1 teaser, I said I saw Magneto, Namor and possibly Magik and Colossus. Also, I hoped that the pair of feet behind Emma Frost was Cyclops. Now, thanks to a leak, I know that Magneto, Magik and Colossus are indeed in that image. Most importantly, that pair of feet really is Cyclops. YES! I got Namor wrong, though. What I thought was Namor’s silhouette is actually Danger’s. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this group which I assume is not the complete Uncanny X-Men roster.

While everybody else is freaking out about the thought of the DC universe (as we know it) ending this week, I’m meticulously poring over the X-Men: Regenesis teasers. It looks like we’re getting 8 X-Men team books after Schism with Team Cyclops and Team Wolverine getting 4 books each.
You say “WTF, that’s a lot of mutant books!” but I say “YES!” Also, I’m having way too much fun identifying the shadows in these teasers. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
San Diego Comic-Con 2011 has wrapped up and I can’t really say that it gave me a lot to get excited about. There wasn’t really an announcement or discussion that blew my mind. However, there are a few things that give me an undeniable geek boner. And of course, there’s this one little thing from Comic-Con that I absolutely love.
It’s NOT the announcement that Avengers Academy will be setting up shop on the west coast, but that’s cool too. Because you know who else is on the west coast? The Runaways. Yes, in my mind, the Runaways will inevitably be involved with — or they might even join — Hank Pym’s Avengers-in-training.
I’ve been defying my limit of comic book purchases per week for the last 3 weeks, and it feels so good. I do expect to cut down on some of the titles after Secret Invasion and Final Crisis. I’m starting to really despise big “events”. Bah. Now, onto the reviews!
X-Factor Special: Layla Miller – This one-shot made me regret not picking up the Quicksilver special, thinking that it was just as awesome as this one. Peter David gives us a depressing but oftentimes funny peek into one possible future where Layla has been trapped since Messiah Complex, and it’s a very good read.
