Wolverine and the X-Men (2011)

Posted on by EHT Comics

During the 2011 crossover X-Men: Regenesis, Wolverine left Utopia with a group of X-Men and students. They moved back to Westchester, New York, where they founded the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

The initial issues of Wolverine and the X-Men mainly featured the Jean Grey School and its faculty and students. The main antagonist in the book was a new Hellfire Club made up of homicidal genius children, led by Kade Kilgore. Starting from issue #9 the series became a tie-in to the Avengers vs. X-Men event until issue #18, except for issue #17 which featured a standalone story. Starting from issue #19, the series became part of the Marvel NOW! event. According to writer Jason Aaron, the book would follow the events of issue #18, in which the character Broo was shot in the head, and would return to the same type of stories that they were doing before Avengers vs. X-Men. “This is our first Marvel NOW! issue, issue #19, so if anything we’re trying to get back to where we were before the ‘AvX’ madness. It picks up right after the events of 18. There were a lot of angry people on the Internet, which was great. It made my day.”. It was also said that Husk would leave the school and a new member will join the faculty who was later revealed to be Storm.
