Comic Con 2019: 10 Biggest Rumours

2. Marvel's 'Next Big Thing' Reveals The Future Of The X-Men

Marvel are on the cusp of a whole new era for the new X-Men, and it's set to be a huge shakeup. Former Fantastic Four and Avengers writer Jonathan Hickman is set to restore Marvel's mutants to the centre of the publisher's universe, with two new comics - House of X and Powers of X - kicking things off later in July.

In the build up to these two comics releasing Marvel have cancelled their entire line of X-books. Hickman will helm the main X-Men comic, but numerous other spin-offs are inevitable, with it heavily rumoured that Jen Bartel is working on a Storm comic with Ta-Nehisi Coates.

More recently, X-Men editor Jordan D. White took to Twitter to tease a snapshot of artwork by Thor artist Russell Dauterman. It appears to be Emma Frost, so one would assume Dauterman is involved in one of the spin-offs and that Frost will be a focus.

As for what comes next? Expect announcements over the weekend.
