UNCANNY X-FORCE #25 art by Jerome Opena Today we revealed this art and the plans for the next big Uncanny X-Force arc entitled “Final Execution.” Writer Rick Remender said this in our liveblog about the book:  “In the 90’s we got into ‘Everything is so hardcore! Let’s all get into the jacuzzi of blood and murder people with razorblades! Extreme!’ I’m a child of the 70’s and 80’s. For me, Wolverine’s inner conflict is whether or not to pop the claws and it’s not something he casually walks into. He fights the animal, but sees the need to let him out once in awhile. I’m a Claremont X-Men guy. The characters speak to me from that era. I write them with those voices dipped in the Grant Morrison era.” I know how this ends and it’s crazy.

Here’s a random piece of art by John Byrne, I believe:

Today we announced our JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY x NEW MUTANTS crossover. Both those books are currently two of my absolute favorite comics we’ve published in years. Maybe ever. (I even went so far as to make a personal money-back guarantee for NEW MUTANTS #37 on the latest This Week in Marvel podcast.) Here’s the promo/cover art by Stephanie Hans. Read ALL about the crossover on Marvel.com. I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. We’re also announcing a bunch of other rad things this week via liveblogs on Marvel.com.

Episode 15 of “This Week in Marvel” podcast is live. This is a giant-sized episode of the podcast this week, in large part because we had Marvel Comics editor Jordan White (he edits Deadpool, Uncanny X-Men, Ender’s Game and tons more) on the show and we talked a lot. We dig into all the comics this week including our pick of the week: NEW MUTANTS #37. In the podcast, I tell people that if they buy NEW MUTANTS #37 (in print) and they for some crazy reason don’t like it, they can give it to me in person at a convention or anywhere else and I will give them $3. I’m dead serious. NM #37 is my favorite comic of 2012 so far and I will back it up with my cash. Listen to the show for all the details. Grab the podcast, along with some extra links, from Marvel.com. Check out Marvel Podcast Central, grab the TWiM RSS feed and subscribe to This Week in Marvel on iTunes or Zune.
