The '90s are so back in X-Men comics - for better and for worse

"Mutants are hated and feared… More than ever!"
That's the message being sent at the very start of the trailer (seen above) for Marvel's just announced new X-Men comic book line, dubbed 'From the Ashes', which will center around three core titles featuring three different teams, as laid out in a promo image by artist Ryan Stegman and colorist Marte Gracia, seen below.
And whether you love or hate the idea, the X-Men are back to their classic status quo as fugitive superheroes, fighting to save themselves and other mutants from those who despise them for who they are.
Announced during the Future of Marvel Comics panel at SXSW, the new X-Men line will be centered around three core titles: X-Men by writer Jed MacKay and artist Ryan Stegman, Uncanny X-Men by writer Gail Simone and artist Marquez, and Exceptional X-Men by writer Eve L. Ewing and artist Carmen Carnero.
MacKay and Stegman's X-Men, debuting on July 10, centers around a team led by Cyclops and Magneto (as Professor M), along with Beast (apparently the heroic Beast who was recently revived), Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper (formerly Oya), Magik, and Juggernaut operating out of a base in Alaska.
Simone and Marquez's Uncanny X-Men, launching on August 7, features a team led by Gambit and Rogue operating out of New Orleans, with Jubilee, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler rounding out the roster.
Finally, starting on September 4, Ewing and Carnero's Exceptional X-Men will be based out of Chicago, following Kate Pryde back to her hometown as she reluctantly teams up with Emma Frost to educate a trio of brand new mutant heroes named Bronze, Axo, and Melee.
Other titles teased in a graphic without creative teams or release dates attached include Phoenix, Storm, Wolverine, NYX, X-Factor, and X-Force, all of which sport '90s style throwback logos in the announcement.
There's a very '90s X-Men vibe about the entire line, on first blush, with the multiple teams featuring many of the mutants who were most famous and popular back in the X-Men's heyday, along with the actual logos and presentation of the new teams.
It's also interesting to note that Jed MacKay, who will be writing the adjectiveless X-Men book, is also the current writer of Avengers, with Marvel giving no indication that he won't be staying on both.
One writer handling both Avengers and X-Men is an extreme rarity in Marvel's history, with the most notable example being Stan Lee himself all the way back in the early '60s. Marvel is putting a lot of eggs in MacKay's basket, with his other ongoing titles Vengeance of the Moon Knight and Doctor Strange, and his upcoming summer crossover event Blood Hunt.
Is it possible that MacKay taking on both Avengers and X-Men simultaneously could lead to some sort of

Apple’s Senior Product Manager For Mac Discusses The Durability And Performance Of M3 MacBook Air Against Older Models
Apple launched the M3 MacBook Air a few weeks ago with a handful of nifty upgrades that enhanced the performance of the machine compared to its predecessor. The highlight of the upgrade is the new M3 chip, which is significantly faster than the M2 chip on last year's models. This is because the M3 chip is fabricated on TSMC's 3nm architecture and delivers improved performance while consuming less power. Externally, the design of the M3 MacBook Air is identical to the M2 version, and an Apple executive has discussed the benefits of the form factor and durability in a new interview.

X-Men ’97 is winding up for one of the best stories about weathermancer Storm ever told
Maybe the most impressive thing about X-Men: The Animated Series is how it committed to directly adapting X-Men comics stories — or at least getting as close as the Saturday morning cartoon format would allow. And X-Men ’97, Disney Plus’ new continuation of the classic series, is not shirking that mandate.

A Sci-Fi, 2D Platformer, Shooter, Taking Us Back To The 90s in This Mystery Metroidvania
Developed by Evan Tor Games and published by JanduSoft, this is a Sci-Fi mystery shooter that everyone has to try. Rebel Transmute is the Metroid of our year. It is a take on a classic Metroidvania with a kick of colors and extreme exploration. While it is revolutionized, I think that the graphics and audio really kicks us off back into the feel of the 90s, giving both old and new gamers something to enjoy.
