One Will Sacrifice in Second Coming
More cryptic messages out of Marvel for its upcoming X-Men: Second Coming arc that arrives in March 2010.
Art Asylum announces Marvel Select Cyclops variant figure
Art Asylum announced the Marvel Select Cyclops figure a while ago that features a portion of the Danger Room as its base (presumably the other figures will have more Danger Room goodness). Now the company has announced a X-Factor Cyclops variant that will be packed 1:2 ratio (4 Silver Age to 2 X-Factor figures per case).
I don’t mind that companies like Art Asylum release variant figures, especially if the figure is different enough from the main figure, but it does bite that one has to purchase an entire case of the figures just to get the variant. Still, it’s better than trekking to ten different toy stores in hopes of finding the variant on the shelves.
One will rise…
Yet another teaser from Marvel on the upcoming Second Coming series that arrives in March.

Brian Singer returns to X-Men movie universe
Brian Singer, director of the first two X-men movies is returning to Marvel movies to develop and direct “X-Men: First Class”. Singer let the information slip during an interview on the red carpet at the Avatar premiere.
The story is still in the early stages of development but will deal with the first meeting of Charles Xavier and Magneto and involve the creation of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, the school masquerading as the headquarters of the X-Men.
Jamie Moss has been hired to write the script with Singer. And while this will tell the early lives of the first two films’ X-Men characters, new characters will also be created. As long as the film doesn’t slip into 90210, One Tree Hill, New Moon territory, and stays true to the original comic book, this could be a really good movie.
