We Are the Who Now?
Spider-Man's had many team suitors (so-to-speak) over the years, getting invites from everyone from the New Warriors to the Avengers. While he's settled on Avenging of late, there's one team that's never really come calling: The X-Men. Of course, times are different now - or could be - depending on how you interpret Marvel's latest "We are the X-Men" teaser image.
Marvel has plans to flesh out what this image means at next weekend's C2E2 in Chicago during its X-Men panel, but the speculation fire that burns within keeps me from believing this is anything more than a tease. Psylocke and Spidey popping through seemingly Jim Lee era artwork means this could be a miniseries, a crossover, a hoax, a dream or an imaginary tale. Not that those scenarios would keep it from being fun, I just don't think Wolverine would put up with any competition to star in the most team books.
Whether or not Spidey literally joins Scott Summer's gritty team of Utopians remains to be seen, but we'll keep you posted as the book's July release approaches.
