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?

"XX" could be another x-men title but XX is also the genetic marker for a girl a boy is XY.So it could be about all women characters.

You're thinking of Paul Cornell, who left Demon Knights to do the new Wolverine book for Marvel, which was announced a few months back.

To me it looks like a new adjective-less X-men book, or at least it's equivalent. In any case, Woods has been kicking ass with Ultimate comics, so I'm intrigued.

XX with a DNA strand behind it screams "Female Title" to me. Probably, X-Men related since the letter X is so tied with them.

X-23 is in Avengers Arena, she shouldn't get her own ongoing series (to keep the fantasy of the "only 1 may leave the Island shtick").

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.

It's probably a female mutant based on the hints.

Best guess is X-23 as she is defined by genetic manipulation, which fits with the theme.

Brian Wood AND Olivier Coipel ? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. One of the best current writers with his Alpha and Omega, recent Adjectiveless X-Men and his current stellar Utlimate X-Men PLUS a babe like Coipel ? I'm dreaming. I'm just dreaming.

I'm done.

Something fantastic MIGHT just come out of MN...MAYBE.

*off* this is just unreal...

Storm already has Uncanny X-Force. I'm honestly not sure. I, like most of you assume it will be something related to women. Or maybe it's something to do with some mutants going through second mutations?

Thank God it's not an X-23 book cause she's stuck in Arena.

Hopefully it'll include new X-Men like Mercury, Surge, and hopefully Transonic!

You guys do know she's stuck in Avengers Arena killing her friends, right? It's not an X-23 book. (If it is, I'll be pissed. She doesn't deserve one if she kills Hazmat)

Cyclops, love him or hate him, is not a strong enough character to support his own book. The same reason characters like Nightcrawler, Storm etc never get solo books that last more than a year.

Fooey! I soon as I saw that, I was thinking "X-Women" team, but I see others have already suggested it. There are certainly enough female mutants to support such a book.

It's the Marvel universe anything can happen Captain America is stuck in Dimension Z and he's in Avengers and Uncanny Avengers and Reed Richards is in space and he's in New Avengers anything can happen and nothing really is in order.

Damn it. Everyone beat me to it saying it's got something to do with females because of the 'XX' and the DNA strand.

@broo1232: But even Cullen Bunn said he couldn't use X-23 cause she's in Arena. If you allow her to be in other books, that would be unfair to the fans of the other characters who are forced to watch their favorites die in Arena. So yeah, it's not X-23.

I wish, but she's thrown into that Avengers arena so, she can't appear in any books until that ends. Talk about stupid.

Not going to be a X-23 solo. She is off limits due to Arena. Bunn even stated so.

I would think it's x-23 related because the whole reason she was female was because when cloning wolveirne, they were only able to salvage his x chromosome.

If this promo simply constituted of an "X-23" in capitals, then i'd understand the X-23 hysteria and so many wanting it be focused around her, but it does not...so...no.

One or both of the 'X's could actually be the roman numeral for '10'- after all, 'Weapon X' originally meant 'Weapon 10'. So this could be hinting to a possible failed attempt at cloning Wolverine: 'Weapon X-10' would be X-23's older brother/sister. Or, it could be 'Weapon-10.10', which would be more in line with the government experimenting on animals/people/mutants like Wolverine and Fantomex.

It CANT be X-23 for the reasons stated before, plus the creative team is too big for an X-23 ongoing.

This is adjectives with Pixie. and hopefully Mercury, Dust and Surge
