Thoughts on X-Men ReGenesis
As announced today over the AP wire, X-MEN REGENESIS is the tagline for the new core group of X-books spinning out of SCHISM.
Kieron Gillen will be shepherding UNCANNY X-MEN with Carlos Pacheco and Greg Land.
And I'll be writing WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN. My collaborator? The amazing Chris Bachalo.
More interviews with both Kieron and I will be hitting in the coming days. There's not much we can reveal at this point though, as everything hings on events that will be soon be unfolding in the pages of SCHISM.
I can't say who's going to be on my team, other than Wolverine of course. I can't say where they'll be or what they'll be doing. I will say, don't assume you know the full roster for either team based off this one promo image. Both sides will feature their share of surprises.
I can also say, with profound certainty, that I am having the time of my life working on this series.
The AP story
Interview with Kieron and I at Marvel.com
"WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN will have everything I love about the X-Men," explains series writer Jason Aaron, who will be joined by artist Chris Bachalo. "Big crazy plots, intense character drama, love, sex, anti-mutant hysteria, man-eating aliens, all-new characters, old favorite characters, bizarre space tech, strange transformations, property damage, telepathic shenanigans, Wolverine drinking whiskey, mutants playing baseball. Except perhaps for that last part."

There was a big conference call the other day with me, editor Nick Lowe and Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso all talking SCHISM for the various comic book news sites. CBR's summary is here, along with loads of new preview art.
Look for another big announcement coming early next week involving some more of my future work.

SITREP: May 2011
Been a busy month. Jesus. X-MEN SCHISM is officially wrapped, as of today. Now I only have two other Super Secret New Marvel Projects on which to work.
I've added a new stop on my convention schedule for the year. I'll be making my first trip to the homeland of Wolverine himself when I head to FanExpo Canada in August. Can't wait to meet ya, Canucklehead comic book fans.
Been catching up on my comic reading. Scott Snyder is killing it on DETECTIVE COMICS. As is Remender on X-FORCE. Gotta be my two favorite current books, along with Grant Morrison's ever amazing Batman work.
Making my way through the Harry Potter movies with my son. Just watched #5, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, which I thought was by far the best one yet. Love the big wizarding battle at the end. Makes Gandalf vs. Saruman in FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING look like a bit of awkward fumbling.
I recently deleted my old Facebook page and created a couple new ones. The old one had gotten rather unwieldy and useless. The new fan page I made is here. I have a personal page as well, but that's only for folks I actually know, so I can keep up with out-of-town friends and such.
Go Mavs. God, I hate the Lakers.
See, I do sometimes smile. Sorta.
