After spending years as a respected leader of the sovereign mutant nation Krakoa, Cyclops is back on the run. With Krakoa destroyed and humanity ready to oppress mutants again, Cyclops has gone back home to Alaska to refresh and regroup.
And yet, things have never been better for Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops. The upcoming From the Ashes relaunch will force the X-Men back into the world after the end of Krakoa in the Fall of X storyline, with a new X-Men book with Cyclops in the lead.
“We wanted to start with Cyclops and wanted to bring him back to Alaska,” X-Men writer Jed MacKay tells Den of Geek during an exclusive interview at SXSW. “And from there we started thinking what his mission would be moving forward because he’s Cyclops, he always has the mission.”

The animated X-Men are about to make their return to TV in "X-Men '97." This Disney+ series is basically a thirty-year-late sixth season of 1992's "X-Men," the first cartoon about the Marvel Comics superhero team.
The "X-Men" comics kept chugging along through highs and lows while their animated counterparts were in limbo, though. At SXSW 2024, Marvel previewed the comics' future. A relaunch is coming to "X-Men" in Summer 2024 under the banner "From The Ashes," the follow-up to the ongoing "Fall of X." There'll be three primary series at first:
"X-Men" by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman. Cyclops and Magneto will lead a traditional X-Men superhero team based in Alaska.
"Uncanny X-Men" by Gail Simone and David Marquez. "Outlaw" lovebirds Gambit and Rogue head to New Orleans with Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee in tow.
"Extraordinary X-Men" by Eve Ewing and Carmen Carnero. Set in Chicago, Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost...

With so much going on in the comic book world it’s impossible to keep your eye on everything. Like most people I tend to follow my favourite creators and characters mostly, but I do like to dip my toe in other waters just to see what’s out there. This Champions book is one of those toe-dips. As the first page makes clear, this book comes on the back of an existing storyline, which I’ll recap in a minute, but for me the hook was two things. Firstly, the name. The Champions is a name with a lot of history in the Marvel Universe, and I say that as someone with a full run of the original 70’s book. This incarnation first came along with Mark Waid and Humberto Ramos back in 2016, essentially to give Marvel a ‘youth’ book.

Juneteenth Book Fest organizers Saraciea Fennell (left) and L.L. McKinney (right).
As the self-appointed gatekeeper of literature - and therefore culture - the publishing industry's overwhelming whiteness is a major problem. Publicist and founder of The Bronx Is Reading book festival Saraciea Fennell says she estimates that traditional book festivals, a cornerstone of marketing and promotion for new titles, are 80-90 percent white. That means the books and authors audiences hear about are chosen by the same (mostly white) people over and over again. Ahead of the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth, Fennell and acclaimed fantasy author L.L. McKinney are teaming up to change that dynamic, launching the Juneteenth Book Fest.
"It's going to be 10 percent [about] Black Lives Matter and 90 percent Black joy, Black love, Black everything else. Racism isn't all that encompasses who we are."
Featuring a dozen panels and highlighting more than 30 Black authors, including Angie Thomas,...

Tony Stark only met his noble end last spring, but there are already plans afoot at Marvel to bring Robert Downey Jr. back as Iron Man. We Got This Covered has been bringing you updates on the situation for the best part of a year now, and over the past week we were able to deliver the news that the studio and the star are close to coming to a deal to get Downey Jr. to return to the McU. Specifically, in an Ironheart TV series.
We’ve been told that his previous hefty demands have been lowered since the box office failure of Dolittle, meaning Marvel is now confident that negotiations can go smoothly. And if they do get him to sign along the dotted line, then Downey Jr. would be taking part in a Disney Plus show for Riri Williams aka Ironheart, the teen tech prodigy who builds...

Riri Williams’ self-titled series Ironheart may have wrapped up last November, but readers will hardly have time to miss the M.I.T. prodigy as she makes her return in April’s 2020 Ironheart, a two-issue story written by Morbius scribe Vita Ayala and Queen of Bad Dreams‘ Danny Lore, who also co-wrote Dynamite’s latest James Bond comic together.
The micro-series will serve as a tie-in to this year’s six-part Iron Man 2020 event from Amazing Spider-Man penmen Dan Slott and Christos Gage, along with the three-part Force Works 2020, the two-part Machine Man 2020, the two-part Rescue 2020, the two-part iWolverine 2020 (formerly titled Weapon.Exe 2020), and the standalone Iron Age 2020.
The event sees Arno Stark, the rightful heir to the Stark family name, taking up the mantle of Iron Man to crush an uprising of artificial intelligence and sentient robots demanding equal rights and liberation from human servitude. At the same time,...

Iron Man met his maker in Avengers: Endgame, leading fans to wonder who will take up the Armored Avenger’s legacy in the future of the McU. There are numerous options out there – maybe Rhodey could get a promotion? Or Pepper becomes Rescue full-time? – but probably the most popular is that the recent comic book character Ironheart is introduced into the franchise. In fact, it’s something that Spider-Man actor Tom Holland certainly wants to happen.
The Spider-Man: Far From Home trailers have played up the fact that Peter Parker is continuing his superhero’ing in Tony Stark’s honor, with him even being asked if he’s “the new Iron Man.” However, this isn’t something Holland would want for his character, as he told Fandom that he thinks Riri Williams/Ironheart would be the best successor to Tony.

Avengers: Endgame went and killed off Tony Stark, reducing his billions of fans around the globe to emotional wrecks and leaving them to wonder how Marvel will ever manage to replace Robert Downey Jr. and find someone else to fill the iron armor. Maybe the best idea comes to us from recent comics, with the introduction of teen hero Ironheart. Could she perhaps appear in the McU in time? We’ll have to wait and see, but Downey Jr. himself certainly hopes so.
Over the weekend, there was a gala held at the Gene Siskel Film Center, during which Eve Ewing – writer of the Ironheart solo comic – introduced Downey Jr. on stage. According to Ewing, the actor used the moment to tell the crowd that he thinks Ironheart should be in the McU as Iron Man’s replacement, which is definitely something Ewing could get behind, too, going by her excitable tweet.

A person who has spent most of his career “being anonymous, or nearly anonymous,” W. Kamau Bell is still adjusting to the attention that his CNN unscripted series United Shades of America has brought him. Beginning his artistic journey as a “live performer [and] podcaster, working on lots of small things,” Bell is now a two-time Emmy winner and five-time nominee, who has traveled the country with his latest series, offering nuanced discussions of such complex topics as racism and incarceration.
In the fourth season of United Shades, the host has looked to get smaller and more specific with his show, branching out from more general issues to cover a wide array of fascinating topics, while putting a lens to sections of the U.S. population that are lesser-known and little understood. Investigating megachurches in Dallas and the various facets of body politics, Bell also met with gun-toting liberals protecting themselves...

Last month, we reported that there were rumblings that Disney and Marvel Studios were planning to replace Tony Stark/Iron Man with young newcomer Riri Williams/Ironheart.
For those not in the know, she’s a relatively new character in the Marvel Universe, a genius MIT student who reverse engineers Tony’s armor and begins to fight crime in it. Recognizing her skills, intelligence and seeing some of himself in her, Stark agrees to assist her in her superhero career (even going so far as to create an AI version of himself that fulfills the same function as Jarvis).
The news back then was that there was an Ironheart script written by Jada Rodriguez on the famous Black List, which features the best un-produced screenplays in Hollywood. Given the nature of licensed Marvel characters, it’s likely that she was commissioned directly by the studio to write it. While Kevin Feige and co.
