The last I heard of it the new lead was going to be an African American lady and she was one of the slayers that got empowered at the end of the show. Which is already ground the, at least previously, canon comics already kinda covered. But that was also a year ago so I've also got no clue.

Don't have time for a deep dive but a surface scan of his Twitter has a bunch of stuff mocking Trump and at least one mocking anti-maskers.

I know it's Bleeding Cool but most of the discourse about Brett Booth when he got announced onto X-Men was on Twitter so this is a pretty decent summary of the complaints about Booth. The short version is that he appears to be in the "Not a Trump supporter, not Comicsgate, but a dude with enough of a track record of being an edgelord atheist who dismisses any problems that any marginalized fans might have about superhero comics as clickbait faux-outrage that he sure seems like he sucks".

Reading that article it does seem like he sucks. Never been a fan of his art personally but I looks like he's a particular breed of perhaps non-chud online rear end in a top hat I prefer to avoid.

So it's less ComicsGate more 'that guy you've muted on Facebook after he read 'The God Delusion.' I only ask because my timeline this morning was mostly 'why not get like anybody else to work on the X-Men.'

All of this said, he's on board specifically for a two issue arc (and allegedly was requested by Hickman), and people have pointed out that Booth drew the storyline where Moira MacTaggart died* back in 2000 so there might be a reason he's on the book outside of some sort of "the regular artist was too slow and Booth hits deadlines".

There seems to be a whole bunch of artists with a kind of similar sketchy style that aren't chuds but definitely chud-adjacent. They know that comicsgate is bad and evs is bad but don't understand why those things are bad and aren't really interested in finding out. See also Sean Murphy and J Scot Campbell (I'd toss Andrew Robinson in that group but he went full formed chud earlier this year).

Definitely not as bad as other people or comicsgate but he's willfully ignorant on a lot of things. He's shifted from kickstarter to comicsgate darling indiegogo for his projects and had quit twitter earlier this year in a hissy fit when people pointed out he was spewing right wing talking points about the George Floyd protests. Like some other people I mentioned, he's not a chud but he's definitely listening to chuds and internalizing some of their bad faith arguments.

It's hard at times to gauge just how 'successful' a lot of these crowdfunded comics things are, because even beyond the standard grift of charging $25 for a single issue of a comic, there are frequently a handful of whales spending thousands of dollars to get original art, toys, sketches, trading cards, coins, whatever sort of weird knickknacks they decide to offer. From anecdotal evidence, none of these people are particularly good at sourcing things, calculating shipping, figuring out the logistics of sending all this poo poo out to people, etc. so who knows what the profit margins are; it's all well and good to get backed for $200,000 for a project, but if your costs are $180,000 it's a lot less impressive. Very few of these campaigns get more than a few thousand people at most as backers, and juice their numbers with ridiculously expensive things: EVS's "million dollar Cyberfrog campaign, the biggest ever [on IGG, ignoring Kickstarter etc.] got like 2/3 of its "million dollars" by selling original art/covers, sketches, the honor of getting drawn into the comic, $250 limited edition slipcases to put all your Cyberfrogs in, and other things entirely external to selling a comic book to people; CGers will always compare their successes to "the lamestream media" or whatever but it's not like book publishing sales charts factor in the sales of original art, t-shirts, sketches, enamel pins, etc. etc. etc.

It would be really funny to see how much money Jim Lee raked in if he did something similar to what EVS did. Of course he doesn't have to because he didn't get poo poo canned by DC for telling a reader to kill themselves.
