Well Marvel have had a rollercoaster of a week, a very successful launch for X-men Gold has turned sour on Saturday with the discovery that artist Ardian Syaf has potentially added unpleasant political references within his art in the book. Marvel have issued a statement saying that Ardian will be disciplined and all of the references will be removed from any future issues potentially delaying reprints and potentially pulping existing runs. With up to 4 issues already drawn you can be certain that the editors at marvel will be going through the rest of the art with a fine toothed comb. Any of you that picked up X-men Gold #1 should be careful with their copies because they may be worth something down the line.
On a happier note and staying on the topic of the X-men, X-men Blue debuts this Wednesday! This sees the original 5 X-men return as a mutant police force, mentored by Magneto of all people. The fact that they are hunting mutant criminals is a nice twist that provides a bit of added purpose to the team and should provide for some interesting story opportunities.
Also out this week is Weapon X which sees the old alumni of the Weapon X program band together for survival against all new monstrosities from the new Weapon X program. It's kind of an X-men version of Warren Ellis's RED, and should be pleasantly filled with hard boiled violence and grumpiness much like when Owen and I play board games.
There's more out this week for every taste, so come take a look!
Have Fun!
Tom and Owen
PS Check out the amazing Secret Empire poster, this is looking to be an excellent storyline.

Written by Eisner Award-nominated writer Simon Spurrier (The Spire, X-Men Legacy) and illustrated by breakout talent Jonas Goonface, Godshaper introduces a vast world where there's a god for every person and a person for every god...though for Ennay, unfortunately exceptions may apply. People like him are Godshapers, godless social pariahs with the ability to mold and shape the gods of others. Paired with Bud, an off-kilter but affectionate god without a human, the two travel from town to town looking for shelter, a hot meal, and the next paying rock 'n' roll gig. FEB171285

Archer and Armstrong! The Eternal Warrior! Ivar, Timewalker! (And a very brief appearance by Faith!) In the great Armstrong tradition of telling history as it really happened, join the immortal Anni-Padda brothers for a journey to King Arthur's court, where the true history of the monstrous GREEN KNIGHT is revealed! It's winter at King Arthur's court in Camelot, when the monstrous GREEN KNIGHT appears at the Round Table wearing no armor and bearing a gigantic axe. Eager for a challenge suitable for the weaker knights, he insists that they participate in a friendly "winter's game". Anyone can strike him once with his axe, but on the condition that the Green Knight may return the exact blow in one year's time. Arthur agrees to the game, but the youthful knight, GILAD, takes up the challenge to protect his king. Much to the court's surprise, the Knight doesn't move as Gilad strikes his head off. The Green Knight picks up his own head and gives Gilad his own mighty axe, telling him he is fated to receive the same blow before the year is out. Now, Sir Gilad must solve the mystery of who the Green Knight is before his hour at the axe comes to pass! But first, he'll need to find some help... in the form of his immortal brothers, who will be united once again! New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente returns to Archer & Armstrong as Eisner Award-winning artist Cary Nord (X-O Manowar) joins in for an oversized, 48-page one shot epic! FEB172060
