The big news to come out of the X-Men panel on the final day of SDCC was the incoming X-Title in November 'Amazing X-Men' which teases the return of Nightcrawler to the Marvel Universe but also a new home for Northstar and the arrival of Sunfire to the ranks of the X-Men. The team will consist of Storm, Wolverine, Beast and Ice Man plus the two mentioned earlier.
The title will be written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Ed McGuinness. McGuinness recently finished his arc on Nova with frequent collaborator Jeph Loeb, and I really enjoyed his art on this and look forward to his work for this new X-Men title. Aaron is currently writing Thor: God of Thunder and also has an X-Book to his name already with Wolverine and the X-Men. Its safe to say with the team announced, both creative and in the book, I will be picking this up.
Other X-Related news that came up was a little more on Battle of the Atom, but obviously not much was said as they don't want to give much away, but the battle between 3 X-Teams from 3 different time streams gives me good reason to think this book should be exciting if nothing else. Bendis thanked the fans for his warm welcome to the X-Universe, I for one think he has done a great job and he is half the reason I have finally been given the chance to step into the X-Books, especially with the talent on the artwork on his titles from Stuart Immonen, Chris Bachalo, David Marquez and Frazer Irving.
