Skwirl posted:You just shouldn't kill off a half dozen moderately popular characters for no apparent loving reason. 1. Sunspot 2. Wolfsbane 3. Havok 4. Madrox 5. Strong Guy 6. Banshee 7. Vanisher 8. Joseph 9. Dark Beast 10. Fabian Cortez 11. Chamber 12. Blindfold 13. Triage 14. Velocidad Plus basically all of the Morlocks, and on the asterisk level Warlock, all of the Marauders minus Sabretooth, Magik is a un-mutant demon, Juggernaut is depowered in Hell, and I feel like some other c-list villains (the Reavers?) turned up dead at some point too. DivineCoffeeBinge posted:I'd buy that if I didn't know some of the people working on AoXM books learned about Hickman's big push when they read about it on CBR. There's always talk about how Bendis railroaded poo poo through without saying poo poo to anyone and just loving their plans up in the most spite-filled wrecking ball way, but the victims of Bendis's spiteful grudgefucking are frequently the same writers he regularly has lunch with and plays online video games with and teaches college classes with and sometimes is co-writing books with, outside of any sort of regular creative summit/meetings/etc. It's possible he talks about these things with them beforehand, but we may never know until he dies and everyone reveals that he's a psychotic monster. A number of the AoXM people have talked about being in meetings with Hickman to plan the second phase of his X-Men revamp, but it's also possible he isn't telling them loving poo poo and demanding they go pound sand because he's a power mad sociopath, we may never know. Even if they get books announced today, it could be an elaborate ruse to cover up Hickman's (or Jordan White's) crimes. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jul 20, 2019 |

I was excited when I saw Bill the Lobster on one of the promo arts for HoX and to see the Fallen Angels being directly referenced by Hickman has me excited. Also, regarding UXM's body count, let's not forget that most of those deaths were either pointless (like Banshee, Sunspot or Havok, dying for no reason and with no impact) or problematic (like Blindfold and Wolfsbane)

Magik decapitated Sabertooth in the War of the Realms mini and Rosenberg implies she died in the last Uncanny.

Have Franklin Richards and Legion ever hung out? Maybe they can team up to undo the past X-Men run.

rantmo posted:It was so forced though, it was absolutely because Slott didn't want to deal with anything other than a generic Doom without any growth or development. I don't think it has a thing to do with Slott; editorial almost certainly told Bendis "okay fine write your Doom Takes Tony Stark's Place epic, that's great, but when you're done you have to put the toys back in the toybox and make him, y'know, Doctor Doom again." Slott's role in the matter was to say "oh neat now that Doom is Doom again I can ignore all that nuance and characterization and just have him be the Doctor Doom I grew up reading," but I don't think he was at all involved in telling Bendis how his run had to end. I mean, I could be wrong, but that's my guess; Bendis was already on his way out the door, so it's not really surprising that he'd put the toys back in the toybox. Edge & Christian posted:I think people vastly underestimate it too sometimes. Oh I absolutely agree that there's generally a lot of communication between creators; I was trying to talk about (and poorly phrasing, I see in retrospect) the communication between those creators and their editors, or editors with each other, or creators getting one pitch approved by one editor and then disapproved by a second, or plans getting overturned at the last instant because marketing decided to chime in, or what have you. I have no doubt that creators talk to each other all the time, I've seen it happen; where the lines of communication tend to fall down IMO is between those creators and the people who are nominally supposed to be shepherding their creations.

On one hand you've got Tini Howard and Marcus To but on the other Gambit. Not sure if I'll be able to stomach the second even though I love the first. Benjamin Percy wrote probably the best Rebirth run start to finish in Green Arrow so I'm down for him on X-Force. Plus Colossus is my favorite X-Man so bonus.

They wrote Teen Titans: Rebirth and Green Arrow: Rebirth. I thought Green Arrow was ok, but I thought Teen Titans was just plain awful. https://twitter.com/AiPTcomics/status/1152691808633155584 Also, they have Domino on X-Force

So we can assume all, or at least most, of the deaths in Rosenberg run didn't happen/will be ignored/didn't matter? Because Wolfsbane, Sunspot, Chamber, Strong Guy, Havok and Madrox are back.

New Mutants seems like a treat just for me. It is a New Mutants book, it has both Hickman and Brisson, unlike the other titles it keeps most of the team of the original New Mutants and it's not just the name and it reverts the deaths from the awful UXM run. This is the book I'm most looking forward to.

Lifeguard and Sage in TYOL 2019. I don't know how I feel about that. Also, I wonder if that's Monet as Penance or if they're doing something else with the name. All-in-all I'm loving psyched about this slate of books.

Kwannon shows up in Rosenberg's X-Men, beheads Joseph, tells Wolverine in Japanese that she's joining the team, tags along with him in the next issue to kill some of Rahne's murderers, then fights some government agents with him. Wolverine quits the team an issue or two later and I can't remember if she leaves with him or just leaves because he left.
