COMICS: The Rosters For The X-MEN GOLD And BLUE Teams Have Finally Been Revealed
We recently learned that Marvel is bringing back the Blue and Gold X-Men teams, and now official artwork has been released, finally revealing which mutants will be on each team and who'll be leading them.
During the 90s, Marvel launched colour themed books for their then massively popular X-Men titles. Next April, X-Men: Gold and X-Men: Blue return as part of the "ResurrXion" line-up of titles which will launch after the events of Inhumans vs. X-Men. Thanks to IGN, we now know which mutants will be on each team, and it's worth noting that Marvel is seemingly putting the focus on firm fan-favourites.
X-Men: Gold will be written by Marc Guggenheim with artwork by Ardian Syaf, and Kitty Pryde looks set to step up as the team leader of a squad which consists of Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, and Rachel Grey. Unfortunately, this seemingly confirms that the original Wolverine won't be returning her as many suspected meaning that he'll still be on the shelf when Logan is released.
X-Men: Blue meanwhile will be written by Cullen Bunn with artwork by Jorge Molina. The roster will consist of the five original, time-displaced X-Men: leader Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel, but joining them is Magneto. He'll serve as their new mentor now Professor X is no longer around, and that sherve as an interesting new dynamic to a team used to seeing him as their greatest enemy.
