New Muties

Yes, it’s another X-team. No, it’s not the New Mutants, who recently got revived in their own book. According to solicits, this team is the Dark X-Men, yet another group created by Norman Osborn that blatantly swipes the name of an existing, established one. The mini, Dark X-Men: The Beginning, is written by Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Captain Britain, etc.). I’m curious about the lineup: Namor, Emma, Mimic, Weapon Omega, Professor X, Daken and Cloak and Dagger are there, but like in Dark Avengers, some of them might not be who they appear to be. It’ll be out in July.

Oh, that’s strange. I didn’t notice earlier that Dagger’s X-insignia is placed on her crotch.
