The Rundown: “All-New X-Men” to Lose the Originals?, MTV Geek Closes Its Doors, and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.

– “So what’s happening to the ‘All New X-Men?'” Rich Johnston over at Bleeding Cool asks. It’s a good question, as the end of Battle of the Atom approaches and maybe, just maybe, the young, original X-Men will go back. Very interested to find out.

– MTV Geek shuts down, making it the second high profile site to go down in the last couple months, with the New York Post’s Parallel Worlds (which I swear just launched, really) going down for the purpose of rebranding and relaunching. Best of luck to anyone who has lost jobs over this, and I hope you all land on your feet in a cool job wherever is next. Oh, and Multiversity is totally always looking for new writers!

– Ohhhhh man! Viz Media is going to release an illustrated novel version of “My Neighbor Totoro!” This, to me, is amazing news, but I love me some Hayao Miyazaki, Totoro and Catbus.

– If you’re a youthful type, Forever 21 is now releasing clothes inspired by Batman and Catwoman. Robot 6 has a look at all of the clothing that you and your friends all could be wearing at the clubs and the…Twerking facilities. I don’t know what young people do.
