Marvel Announces 'XX' Project from Brian Wood & Olivier Coipel

Is this another X-Men title or something more?

We're seeing most of the previously announced Marvel NOW! books hit the shelves. There's still more coming in the next couple months but it appears Marvel hasn't announced all of the new titles just yet. Today on USA Today, another new title is being teased.

No Caption Provided

Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel will be joining forces on what might appear to be a dirty comic title but we know that isn't really the case. With the DNA strand coming off the letters, we have to assume it's for another X-Men title. Chances are, based on previous teasers, the title may not necessarily be "XX."

With ALL-NEW X-MEN and the upcoming UNCANNY X-MEN by Brian Michael Bendis, we have to wonder what this other X-Men title could be focusing on. We'll have to wait until more information is released.

Could XX have anything to do with the XX chromosome? So maybe this will be an X-Men book with just female characters?

Either X-23 (PLEASE!!!!!) or maybe Mystique. Regardless, I will try it out, and hope to God it is a 2.99 title.

If Marvel was still smart this would be a buddy cop series starting Cyclops and Wolverine and the tittle would be X & X.

A perfect all girl team would be, Storm, Frenzy, Psylocke, X-23, Jubilee, Domino, Sage and Warbird.

If marvel wanted to be smart, they could use this open idea of a title to showcase individual mutant characters all across the globe and have them feature in their own story archs.

I think that's a good idea, I always think the writers should do that.

Definitely an X-Book, definitely a female led book. My best guess is a new X-23 title. But who knows. This is one of the first Marvel Now mini-teasers that actually has me intrigued to find out what it is.

Interesting. It's probably in all likeyhood a all-female (X) title or possibly x-23. Who knows if x-23 will be in Avengers Arena come April? I think they are inside of a game or virtual reality anyway. I would say its very likely a Storm led team because of some hints and rumors I have seen and heard...but Sam Humphries last interview about his team being outsiders, his plan for Storm and Besty and not being able to use Jubes in his X-force has me second guessing. Either way, next week we will find out. I guess this is the last round of Marvel NOW which has been pretty good IMHO so far.

I wish it was X-23, but if it's not written by Marjorie Liu I don't know how I'd feel about it.

It won't be her fault if she does kill Hazmat, it will be the fault of Dennis Hopeless as the writer. I love Hazzy too, but it's still Hopeless' brainchild.

@Target_X: If X-23 actually remembers Hazmat and learns from the experience, I'll be forgiving. But I would HATE if she kills Hazmat then goes off and plays with Jubilee when she leaves Arena.

"XX" = female. "X" = X. "XX" = 20. If there was a triple helix in the background I'd say its X-23. She a mutant right?

Maybe it is a group of 20 female x-characters. :)

I suppose a female mutant title sure. The double helix in back kinda helps provide corroboration to that.

An all female team would be interesting considering that I think I saw somewhere that they are reviving the Sisterhood of Mutants.

I also thought of it somehow being Xavier's Xmen. A group tasked before his death to take over or a group implanted with a trigger upon his death to go into action.

I'd rather this not be an X-23 title. She's not marketable/important enough for Brian Wood to write her, and certainly not good enough for Coipel to waste needless hours illustrating her. That'd be a real waste.

Lol no.

Brian Wood always writes strong female characters and female characters in leadership roles, so if its anything but an all-female/female focused X-men book i will be shocked.

I love these teasers. I honestly can't narrow down a guess, but I love seeing fans decipher it so well

Even if they end up being wrong. X23

So many ideas -- lots of them great. It can be a Weapon X thing -- clones thing -- who knows.

I want X-23. So that means it won't have her, according to my streak lately.

Hopefully.

It's not X-23.

It's probably not. But, I can have some vague sense of hope that it is. My vote goes to an X-woman book to replace the X-men book he just finished.

an x-women book would be awesome but im not that lucky so i'll believe it when i see it. well there is no excalibur or new mutants book so could it be a place for those characters? (excalibur is very unlikely but i loved the series). so many mutants are missing in this marvel now universe. no x-man, blink, or surge to name a few.

I thought about a title like Xavier's Xmen. Maybe a group that had been picked as the new xmen on Xavier's death. Or somehow he's implanted a triiger in these mutants to go into action when he died.

An X-23 led team would be cool, too. Personally I want X-23 leading a team of Chamber, Surge, Hellion and Arclight or if not Arclight I'll take Magma. Adding Pixie and of the Cuckoos would be interesting too.
