Launching new generations of superheroes is not an easy task, when the audience is still loyal to the veteran superheroes.
However, not all superhero teams are as lucky.
And recently, it seems that bad luck has not stopped clinging to Marvel Comics, as they continue to be criticized for Children of the Atom, the upcoming child version of X-Men.
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM is a story revolving around five die-hard X-Men fans becoming their sidekicks, with designs based on Cyclops, Marvel Girl Jean Grey, Archangel, Gambit and Nightcrawler.
As expected, Children of the Atom will be the assistants of the X-Men.
Most likely, Children of the Atom’s base will be located at OMEGA House in the Akademos Habitat school complex, the common home of young generations of mutants such as Communal, Frost Academy, Generation X, Jean Gray School, New Mutants,
As described by the writer of this series, Vita Ayala, these superheroes belong to generation Z, born from the late 90s to the early 2010s. `One of these uses… TikTok.
It seems that because it hasn’t revealed much about the plot and only released some information as above, the launch trailer of Children of the Atom received more than 14 times more dislikes (23K) than likes (1.6K).
Anyway, if you watch this trailer you’ll probably still be excited.
Written by writer MORBIUS Vita Ayala & artist BATMAN BEYOND Bernard Chang, the CHILDREN OF THE ATOM series will be released to Marvel readers from April 15.
