My bet is Marvel is finally doing something about the while "killed an original X-Men member off screen" thing and showing what happened and everyone's reactions.

Or we finally get the mutant Holocaust Marvel keeps foreshadowing.

I hope they kill an entire fake minority and cancel the x-man line to gently caress with Fox.

I wonder how it would be taken.

I'd be sad to see Old Man Logan go, and a small handful of other characters, but I'd overall be fine with this. If we could get the all female X-Men team from Adjective-less X-Men by G Willow Wilson, but a) have her write it from the start and b) give her a decent artist, it'd instantly become the best X-Men team book of ANAD Marvel.

PAD's stuff, the original 90's run and the Madrox mini-series and ensuing revival

I can't really imagine liking Simonson's X-Factor since it A. pretty much requires you to give a poo poo about all of the original X-Men and B. be okay with how hard it makes Cyclops and Jean just completely unlikable (especially the former)

like other than being the first appearance of Apocalypse (who I'm mostly lukewarm on at the best of times) there's not a lot going on unless you legitimately think Rusty Collins and Skids are rad characters

X-Factor 87 is easily one of the best single issues ever. Brilliant introduction to the team and made me fall in love with Quicksilver.

"We're going to kill characters to show to stakes are high" has never failed to translate to "we don't know what we're doing so we'll kill some character and see if that keeps ratings up". If anything the X-Men are the Marvel team with the most permanent big character deaths.

I hope Storm dies. I've never thought she was particularly interesting. Like, there's so much potential, but from what I've read she's pretty much a black Cyclops-from-before-he-was-cool that made smooches with Wolverine.

All New Wolverine and Old Man Logan are pretty good. I think Marvel just needs to stop doing team books and do X-Men solo books until the can figure out a mutant-wide plot that isn't terrible.

I could 100% get behind this. As well as a multi-year moratorium on crossovers more extensive than say SG/Howard.
If X-Men 92 is good I'm gonna drop Uncanny and maybe All-New as well. Last time poo poo was this (in-universe) dire for the X-Men, that post-M-Day stuff up through Second Coming, I couldn't get enough. Maybe they're trying to recapture that feeling in fans like me but if so they're way the gently caress off the mark. I guess I just bitched about events but I'm looking forward to this upcoming one if only for the chance that it gets rid of this bullshit Terrigen/M-Pox status quo. Like Apocalypse shows up and just inhales the whole cloud and there, done.

The first part is the heart of the problem yeah, but Marvel's other books do fine with massive crossovers so there's no excuse for X-Men to not if it had decent editors and writers

They could always do it again. The end of X-23's thrilling adventures; she randomly learned to be a real girl in Bendis' All-New X-Men and then died :v:.

That or bring a Logan who is for all intents and purposes the same Logan as the one from 616 only grumpier and sometimes remembers people who don't matter because they're not around in this timeline. Then promptly kill him.

I only have excellent ideas
ANXM is very pleasant in a way that reminds me of that spate of weirdly low-key books that came out during Heroes Reborn-- the John Ostrander Heroes For Hire, for example, or some other thing Pasqual Ferry probably drew. It's nice and leisurely and has fun putting old pieces together in new ways. I'm sure if you ask me in 2019 to describe it I'll draw a blank but for now I'm totally fine with it.
