MARVEL'S CHILDREN OF THE ATOM
Marvel Comics has announced an April launch for Children of the Atom, a new series from writer Vita Ayala and artist Bernard Change.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"This thrilling new team book will debut a new squad of super heroes that will turn the X-Men's world upside down. Further details surrounding the cast remain a mystery but it's no secret that these teens have been inspired by your favorite X-Men. But don't let their admiration fool you, their adventures will be far different and you won't believe the twists and turns that await you from the very first issue!"
"The initial seed of the idea actually came from [editor] Chris Robinson: What if the X-Men had sidekicks?" Ayala said. "My take on it became, what would actual kids from our current time be like, if they were X-Men sidekicks? What would Gen Z X-Men be like?
"I have never known a world without mutants and the X-Men, and to be able to create characters that would become part of the canon is wild. I love them very much. Bernard, Chris and I have worked so hard on them, and I was practically itching to let them out into the world so others could love them too.
"What makes the new cast special to me is that they are reflective of a lot of people I know who look up to what the X-Men stand for, and have taken it upon themselves to further those ideals. These kids are exactly the kids who, in real life, have posters of Storm and Wolverine in their rooms, who grew up seeing them as heroes and want to live up to that."
