New X-Men 2099 team introduced in ‘Spider-Man 2099: Exodus’ #5

'Spider-Man 2099: Exodus' #5 drops into comic shops on August 3rd.

Marvel Comics is currently celebrating the 30-year anniversary of its 2099 imprint with SPIDER-MAN 2099: EXODUS, a thrilling limited series that revolutionizes the far-future setting for a new age! Written by Steve Orlando, the saga kicks off when a Celestial falls to Earth, providing a glimmer of hope to the grim dystopian world that fan-favorite hero Spider-Man 2099, Miguel O'Hara, must protect at all costs. Following Spider-Man's mission, each issue of the series switches focus to a different team or character resulting in a thrilling journey that catches readers up to speed with the core elements of the 2099 mythos and introduces new heroes along the way such as 2099 versions of Black Widow, Loki, and Winter Soldier.

I loved Punisher 2099 when I would get random issues in 1998 re-packs of comics....

It's not 2099 if the characters aren't stupid looking.

These look too nice.

how are mutants still a marginalized group requiring a super team in 2099? if anything the X-Men should be normal humans

Should have just named that guy Feignaz.

I had a Bloodhawk action figure back in the day, that guy was pretty cool. Never read their comic though.

I was so excited to buy a new X-Men #1 at the time thinking this would last for years. What a stupid kid, those foil covers always got me.

That Phoenix design is amazing, but her withstanding, I'm not a fan of taking a "modern" character and making them 2099-y. I loved how weird the original cast of X-Men 2099 looked.

works as a 90s comic and a 90s fighting game


Nate Grey it seems
Exactly!

You'd rent this shit at Blockbuster for your Genesis because all the copies of Mortal Kombat were gone, and you wouldn't have any idea what you're doing but no sweat, your friend has a copy of Tips & Tricks on hand for the code to unlock Junkpile.

The sweet joy of finally unlocking Halloween Jack.

Bloodhawk stood out to me right away.

Only X-men 2099 I remember
I remember some of the names from the first comic (I got it/still have it somewhere in a box). I also remember I had the figures of Bloodhawk, Skullfire, and Brimstone Love. I remember Meanstreak, Xi'an, Krystal, and Serpentina (who died in the first issue, I think).

The ads for this game are all comic book art and the three screen shots are super fucking grainy. You are pretty sure one of them is Xian punching Krystal but maybe not.

I forgot how fucking diverse that cast was though.

Give it some props. It was doing more diversity than most other books at the time.

Where did Ron Lim go, anyway?

I googled him after I made the comment earlier just to see if he was still alive and hadn't been canceled, but information is pretty sparse on his wiki page.

I know he did a few Marvel kid's books.

And now looking it up it seems like there's even more Marvel nostalgia because there's a Silver Surfer Rebirth book by Marz and Ron Lim that came out this year that is basically a flashback to their old run.

Goddamn this manga addiction's got me away from big 2 comics for about three years now but I'd fuck with this hard. Marz and Lim are like essential pillars of cosmic marvel in the 90s/early 2000s.

Now we need Guardians rebirth with Valentino (which is the first thing I thought of when this thread mentioned a future Phoenix design).

Wouldn't the 2099 version of Loki just be…Loki? He'd still be alive.
Original Alcemax, a evil Corp made the Asgardians a brand since the real ones have been MIA for decades. They generically engineered a few folks to have powers similar to the old ones. This might be the real Loki coming back.
