Marvel’s Doing Another Age of Something-or-Other Again
 |
?
This one’s titled “Age of X,” which may be the most generic event title that Marvel could ever come up with (and I thought “House of M” was bad). Apparently it’s in a parallel universe where mutants have it even shittier, like in most parallel universes, but it’s somehow going to impact the regular Marvel universe in some undefined way. Feel free to read the exclusive article over at CBR on it; I didn’t care enough to do anything other than skim. In fact, the only reason I’m posting anything about it is that the X-Men and their pals got a redesign, and I’m always interested in a good redesign. While this one isn’t mind-shattering different, I still think its kind of fun; it’s better than reading Care Bear rape fic, at any rate. Click on the pic for a much bigger version, or head to CBR for even higher-res images.
About The Author

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
