Dans les tuyaux depuis 2019, la série X-Corp a finalement été officiellement annoncée par Marvel. Le titre est écrit par Tini Howard (Excalibur) et dessiné par Alberto Foche (Dan Dare).
Le #1 est prévu pour mai.
The deals have been made. Mutantkind is safe on Krakoa. As the Reign of X continues, what are the wants of the mutants who have everything? Leading the charge is X-CORPORATION, headed by CXOs Monet St. Croix and Warren Worthington, a duo as cutthroat and ruthless in the boardroom as they are on a battlefield. But X-Corp needs more than just its figureheads. As Monet sets out to staff their team with some of the brightest and most deviant minds in mutantkind, Warren finds himself in a tense confrontation with one of Krakoa’s first allies who wants to know the truth: on Angel’s wings, will X-Corp crash or soar?
« Hello! Some of you have been waiting a while for this book, and I’m the one to blame, » Howard said in a statement. « I first pitched this story because I absolutely love the weird corporate world within Marvel Comics - specifically books like New X-Men , All-New X-Factor , and the history of what the X-Corporation was before. But in a new mutant era of gates and deals, X-Corp 's ‹ corporate embassy › is a bit obsolete - and I refuse to sell you guys anything I wouldn’t buy myself. »
« We shelved the book for a time (I had X of Swords on my plate immediately after) and decided that X-Corp existed quietly in the background, there for us to debut when we had the right story to tell, the right public offering to make, if you will, » Howard added. " Empyre: X-Men gave me a chance to test-drive some of the earliest concepts - Angel and Monet as dual CXOs, Jamie Madrox by their side, and the cleaning-up of some of Charles Xavier’s portfolio. Since then, I’ve reworked the book entirely - and you’ll know exactly why you’ve waited until now to see what they’re up to. I’ve got a corporate past myself, and it’s all going into this book. X-Corp: We’re Simply Superior."
Ça me rend curieux aussi. J’aime beaucoup Warren et Monet. Par contre comme frerec je me méfie de tini Howard, ses Excalibur sont pénibles à lire et je ne pense pas qu’il ai le talent de joe Casey pour gérer la x-corp aussi bien qu’il l’avait fait à l’époque
Pour l instant, les excalibur de tini ne m ont pas convaincu. Sa gestion des personnages me parait artificielle, en ce sens qu ils m apparaissent caricaturaux sous sa plume.
