Joe Q asked about any upcoming Askani stories

Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada was asked during his Weekly Joe Friday column on Newsarama about any Askani stories in the works:

Q: "XChylde17" - Any chance we will see some stories coming out of Earth-4935 (the Askani timeline)? It's such an important part of Cable's character and it frequently gets referred to, plus it has potential for some really interesting stories, much like Wolverine: Origins. Also, thanks for giving me more Cable by putting him back on the X-Men, with what could be the coolest line-up ever.


JQ: Hey, XChylde17, while there are no immediate plans, Cable, Bishop, and Forge are three characters on the top of new X-overlord Axel Alonso's list of character to bring back into the limelight.

To submit questions for Joe Quesada to answer in future columns, you can post on Newsarama's forum

Marvel HeroClix: Days of Future Past Action Pack

A Hound Rachel Summers figure is being released as part of the Marvel HeroClix game. It's a strategy game that uses miniature figures.

This is the mission your X-Men have been training for. In the brutal dystopia of Days of Future Past, mutants are herded into concentration camps by towering Sentinels - giant robots bent on the eradication of the mutant genome. Rachel Summers is the new keeper of the Phoenix force - manifesting the genetic legacy of her mother Jean Grey and the resilience and determination of her father Scott Summers, the X-Man known as Cyclops, both long dead.

The Marvel HeroClix: X-Men Days of Future Past Action Pack includes one colossal Sentinel, one Rachel Summers figure, and one Wolverine figure; one feat and one battlefield condition card - the perfect gift for any X-Men fan!
