Marvel X-Men ending soon
June 10th, 2011 - 2:38 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, June 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The last edition of the Marvel X-Men comics will come out in October with the release of the No. 544 edition. The comic has been a huge success for all the years. It has become necessary to end the series because of the actions of ‘Schism.’
Since 2010, Kieron Gillen has been the writer of the comic. He revealed that, “In the last five years or so, the X-Men have been exploring a different angle. A catastrophe reduced the population to a couple of hundred mutants, and no new ones are being born. This fledgling species was looking at extinction - and the militarized forces of prejudice moved in for the kill.”
According to a report by the Associated Press, the X-Men will be destroyed from within by the events of ‘Schism.’ Gillen said that the actions of ‘Schism’ made it absolutely necessary for the series to be ended.
X-Men has been a huge success over the years. The franchise has been turned into movies and games. There have been several versions of the franchise and the end of the comic series will undoubtedly be an end of an era. The comic is one of the biggest selling in history.
