Where are the Fantastic Four?

Walt

The Fantastic Four #1 (cover dated Nov. 1961), helped to usher in a new level of realism in the comic medium.

This title would set the pace for the Marvel universe for years to come. It formed a cornerstone of the company’s 1960s rise from a small division of a publishing company to a pop culture giant.

X-Men ResurrXion Coming From Marvel

Media Release

The X-Men were originally second stringer characters when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created them back in 1963. It was canceled after a few years.

Marvel’s Inhumans Vs. X-Men Gets A New Trailer

Media Release

Usually, Marvel’s comic book super-mega-crossover events end up plagued with massive delays that screw up the timeline of their corresponding line-wide relaunch events, with books set in the aftermath of Secret Wars or Civil War 2 hitting stores month before those stories conclude. That isn’t the case with Inhumans vs. X-Men, or, at least, it isn’t the case so far. There’s still time for Marvel to screw it up before the X-books are relaunched with ResurrXion. But so far, so good. All three issues of the main book, as well…

What Is X-Men timeline For Logan

Walt

Even for our resident comic book nerds, Fox’s X-Men movie timeline is extremely confusing. There’s the rubbish post-apocalyptic world that they managed to prevent in X-Men: Days of Future Past, and the happy final scene where Wolverine was reunited with his old friends. Then you get X-Men: The Final Stand, in which Professor X (among many other characters) was killed, which puts it outside of both those timelines. And then there’s a separate one where X-Men: Apocalypse and the future films are now set, right? Well, we can’t offer a…
