ahh back in the day when continuity mattered and they actually cared to show a Gen-Xer’s reaction to their ex’s ridiculously bad choice of BF…

Still amuses me all these years later. Even though Tieri’s characterization was awful it was still marginally better than Austin…

So if the Fox live-action X-Men show is, as rumored, a take on X-Factor, I wonder if that means we’ll be seeing Doug in the main cast. Because you really can’t get a power lower in SFX costs than cunning linguist/hacker extraordinaire…

Wait so they cancel the book and then make a show about it? That makes about as much sense as DC cancelling Deathstroke’s book right as they were releasing a sh*t ton of  merch for him and putting him in all their new cartoons and games.

Of course, now they’re relaunching that series since they probably realized that folks who watch him in Arrow, played him in Injustice and Arkham Origins, and bought a bunch of his new figures might actually enjoy reading a comic about him.

Perhaps X-Factor will enjoy a similar relaunch?. Or won’t get cancelled after all? Now I’m just being way too optimistic. Though Fox/Marvel is rarely a great combination. I’m sure they’ll just call it X-Factor and it will be a bunch of random characters. Or some other actor playing Wolverine because he has to be in everything. I guess they could do Jamie. That’s an easy trick. Certainly won’t have Darwin in it as they already killed him > : |

If anything, I’d say a Fox confirming an X-Factor project would be a good bet against the book being relaunched in the near future. There is no “they” here — the way things currently seem to stand, Marvel has nothing to do with Fox’s X-Men projects and Tom Brevoort has confirmed that Marvel won’t be promoting X-Men as a brand so long as Fox has the movie rights. (Though I’m curious to see how strongly that’ll stand now that perennial merch-machine Deadpool has a movie coming up.)

I didn’t realize the Fox/Marvel relationship was quite that hostile. I guess they regret giving up the X-Men movie rights but it did help save them from financial ruin.
