Every Monday Senior X-Men Editor Mark Paniccia answers fans questions and shares cool new art from the X-Line. We’ll be here compiling all those hints in one place so you don’t have to worry about missing a single second of it. This is #XMENMONDAY Round-Up

X-Men: Red #2

We kick off this #XMENMONDAY with our first look at the Travis Charest cover to X-MEN: RED #2. Look at the fabulous beard Kurt is now sporting

Reaction to the beard has been mixed, with some questioning how it is physically possible and others just basking in its’ greatness.

@MahmudAsrar will be happy to explain this lol but my theory is he uses rogain on his chin. — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

This will make nobody happier than @MahmudAsrar lol!!! — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

After forgetting to tag Charest in the initial post, Mark followed up with a sneak peek at the cover to #3. Considering we have been told there would be a classic X-Man joining the team soon, it looks like Gambit will be jumping on Jean’s team.

It is indeed. I tagged #travischarest on the image but in my haste missed adding him to the tweet. Here’s a snippet from #XMENRED #3 by none other than the great @TravisCharest, of course!!! #XMENMONDAY pic.twitter.com/aveFLT2OaZ — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

Though it might very well be Jonathon

One can only hope @TomTaylorMade — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

He also teased the possibility of an unexpected resurrection in the title.

Ha! You have no idea!!! #XMENMONDAY — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

He also showed off one of the cover box designs, featuring the best Wolverine.

The title won’t explain why the book is called, Red, however.

no. 😅 — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

Upcoming X-Over?

Mark hinted at something big happening in the X-Books this fall

We don’t have anything planned right now but there could be something happening in or around August that would lead to them fighting side by side — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

And when pressed (by me) seemed to confirm it

Weapon X Romance

Mark shared a page from an upcoming WEAPON X comic that shows love on the horizon for longtime X-Force teammates Dom & Warpath

If you A) are a fan of romance in comics and B) are digging the extreme action (i.e. violence) in #WEAPONX, this page is for you! #XMENMONDAY @gregpak @ycinar @chrisrobinson pic.twitter.com/Ze8Hg5MB5O — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

#MagicXBall

Mark answered some reader question about what readers might expect in upcoming months

Not in her hands. — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

I don’t think so. Sorry. — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

He also answered a question that Amalgam answered back in the 90’s

I need to think about this for a bit. It’s a hard call. inclined to go with #STORM — Mark Paniccia (@MarkPaniccia) December 18, 2017

And that’s all for this week. Check back next time for another #XMENMONDAY Round-Up
