In addition to yesterday’s teaser, Marvel has updated the Age Of X image with two new mutants: Nightmare and Beserker.
Age Of X, the next X-event written by Mike Carey, already has an interesting cast going for it. Gambit certainly has brand name recognition at this point, and Hellion is one of the characters who has been rather assertive lately in the X-Books (losing his hands in Second Coming as well), but Nightmare and Beserker certainly do not have the big names outside of the X-Books in the way that Gambit or Hellion do. In fact, without a Google search, I had no frame of reference for who the characters were – and I’m still not sure who Nightmare is.
So this is certainly ramping up to be an interesting X-Event, to say the least. All awkward stances aside, it’ll be interesting to see who else is revealed throughout the week.
