Marvel's latest X-Men comic series due out in April will feature an all-female line up. Writer Brian Wood explains the decision to focus on female characters:

"I've always written female characters, going all the way back to my first book ever, and I'm known for it. But that aside, the X-Men are full of truly excellent female characters. I would say that on balance, the women rule the men in the x-world, hands down," he said. "It's a real anomaly in comics, and I think it's what makes the X-Men both special and successful – and appealing to all genders and all types. You can see this reflected in the fan base. So I get great women to write, complicated, complex, multi-faceted, flawed, wonderfully relatable characters, and here is this series where all that can shine. It's a no-brainer, I think, and anyone ready to dismiss it is missing what the X-Men is all about."

I can't wait till they make this comic a movie. Have you ever seen an action film cast exclusively with women no less a film that's part of the Marvel franchise?

It's time.
