UPDATE: X-MEN: EVOLUTION AND MUTANT X TIE-IN COMIC BOOKS
Dateline: Saturday, May 5, 2001 By: ERIC J. MOREELS, EDITOR Source: X-Fan
X-Fan recently checked in with Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada to find out the status on the comic book versions of two of Marvel`s television productions - the successful animated X-Men: Evolution series and the live action Mutant X show.
"We`re moving along," Quesada said of the new Mutant X comic book. "[We`ll] announce a team shortly." Quesada offered the same reply when asked about the X-Men: Evolution comic, which the EiC told X-Fan will be included in Marvel`s upcoming "young readers" line and will most probably be the first of said line to be released.
Quesada also said that Marvel are looking to procure licenses for other books in the young readers line, similar to DC`s Cartoon Network line which features shows from that network such as Powerpuff Girls and Dexter`s Laboratory.
