Let's get X-statix for the X-Men panel! Sorry, I've got nothing intro wise for this one.
12:30- Chris Yost, Majorie Liu, Daniel Way, Rick Remender, and Peter David are introduced. Singh is hosting this panel, as he seems to be the host for many of the Marvel panels. Alonso is also here. He says what will appeal to readers is that some will agree with Cyclops and some will agree with Logan. There's a very important reason that Schism and Fear Itself ends in October that will be revealed in 2012. Art work from the next issue of Schism to the right!
12:35- X-Men Regenesis in Oct by Gillen and Tan. Uncanny X-Men #1 in November. Video is playing by Nick Lowe, and sorry, internet down again and I missed some stuff.
12:40- Wolverine and the X-Men features Jason Aaron and Bachalo. Uncanny X-Men is by Gillen, Pacheco and Land. NO Cyclops? Singh says we have to read Schism to find out why.
Uncanny X-Force news. Dark Angel Saga coming up soon. The team is in the Age of Apocalypse world, for those not currently reading the book. Every team will be affected by what comes out of Schism.
X-Factor news time. Issue 230, which is one of David's favorite scripts will have the effects of Schism in it. "The real thing that drives the books is the team dynamics," says David. Birth of Rain's child coming up. A death of a team member is coming up, then it leads into Schism.
== TEASER ==12:45- X-Men First to Last, which just finished up. Yost talks about how he liked working on the book. Yost is working on a few other things he can't talk about. in October, Marvel is releasing a 20th anniversary edition of X-Men #1. They say it's the highest selling comic of all time, then Singh makes yet another DC quip.
12:50- Wolverine has to go to San Francisco for reasons they can't explain. And someone stole his stash of money. Jason Aaron will be writing it, and while the idea seems dumb, Jason Aaron is awesome. Majorie Liu talks about X23. X23 goes through some tough times in the upcoming arc. Daken (Dokken) is discussed. He's moved to L.A. "He has a very interesting path coming up."
12:55- Daniel Way talks about Evil Deadpool again, and today I have pictures. Evil deadpool leads into something bigger. They flash something on the screen... It just says "Dead" February 2012. Question time!
1:00- Q: Will Wolverine be in X-Force after Schism? A: They can't reveal anything! Q: Will S.W.O.R.D. cross into the X-Men? A: Astonishing X-Men it will likely overlap in. Q: When's Jean coming back? A: IT's not the 616 Jean, but she's in the AoA Uncanny X-Force storyline. Q: What made you say cancelling the Uncanny numbering system was a good idea? A: Alonso says that it wasn't easy but it was a natural evolution. They knew after Schism it wouldn't be the same book or team, so that's why they did it. Q: What's going on with Starjammers? A: X-Men Legacy 250 explains where they are. X-Men Regenesis will feature them. Q: Will there be more Darwin, to Peter David. A: He will be back. Peter David loves the character, and says it's bogus he died in the recent film. Q: What is Hope's relation to Jean Grey? A: They can't say anything about that without spoiling any plans, especially ones in Schism.
1:05- Q: Since Wolverine is part of the Avengers, will there be a conflict between the two teams? A: The X-Men will be more a part of the Marvel Universe. Q: Guy states that Remender doesn't use all of Psylocke's powers. A: Remender says that if he used all of her powers and put all of her history in one book it would be the most convoluted character ever and he would "blow his brains out." Rick Remender is my new hero.
1:10- Alonso alludes heavily to Cyclops not being around. Will he die or does he quit the team? Q: Will people from the AoA universe come over from X-Force? A: Yes. Rick tries to avoid the question, but is forced to say yes. Come on Sugar Man!
1:15- Q: Any plans of bring back old school characters: Maggot for example? A: We might be seeing Maggot come back. Fan favorites may be coming back. Back to AoA. There are some very exciting things coming up for AoA fans. They're trying to clean up the universe. Q: Cable got hosed? Is he coming back? A: Cable is very dead right now. David on Rictor: He will have his powers back in X-Factor 225.
1:20- Q: Can you put X-Men characters in the Avengers cartoon? A: Yes. You'll see a lot of different MU characters in the show. Q: Are you killing Cyclops? A: Read Schism. Q: Shatterstar and Longshot share DNA, will Peter David be going in depth? A: Yes, but he's going to drag it out. Later... AoA Iceman plays a bigger part in X-Force later on in the year. Singh says [on Runaways]that they're not breaking up the team, they're just waiting for the right story.
Bye bye
