Spurrier was such a great get for X-Men comics and to see him dealing with Nightcrawler and themes about faith sounds great. Every new DoX book has been so good; I can't remember the last time I was so excited for the whole X-Men comics lineup.

This is the Way...of X. Excited that Nightcrawler is leading an X book. Always been my favorite X-Man. Who are the two characters on the right side of the stained glass?

I think he was dead and I can't imagine he'd be super high on the resurrection list since everyone loving hates him, but teleporters are incredibly useful.

Heard of Loa before, but I don't think I've read anything with her in it. DJ sounds like one of the mutants I would have made up when I was a teenager. Rare to find an X character I've never heard of. What's he from?

DJ was one of the students in the 2000s New Mutants series by Nunzio DeFillipis and Christina Weir, when they broke up the student body into "squads" led by different teachers. Then he got depowered in M-Day and blown up on a bus by the Purifiers.

Also holy poo poo is someone actually going to do something with Loa? Yes it's me, I'm the guy who likes all the weird obscure forgotten Academy X kids. Also I just reread "Wolverine and Jubilee" this morning (which shoulda been titled "Wolverine and Jubilee and Rockslide") and the trade has Jubilee's origin issue at the end. I'm not well-versed in X-history but as soon as Storm ended up in a bathtub with Psylocke, I flipped back to the cover and sure enough - Claremont.

GenX was great with the colorist that understood it was secretly a horror comic. Less so with the colorist who just discovered the lens flare filter in photoshop.

Finally having read X-Factor this morning, I get what BrianWilly is saying, but don't really agree with it. The team is several individuals and they all act different, and more or less in-character. Daken is absolutely unnecessarily aggressive where it's unwarranted. He's also an unrepentant killer and rapist, so that he only popped his claws at the sample-taker is showing restraint, if anything (getting thrown in a bottomless hole will do that). Polaris picks the racist guy up, and drops him a bit, but she's usually not one to take poo poo in more modern interpretations. Eyeboy is kind, brushes off the blatant racism, and just does what he's there to do, as is Prodigy. Northstar actively tries to de-escalate. Rachel is also there. So, no, I don't think it's an X-Factor problem, or a Krakoa problem - it's a Daken and Polaris problem. And I can't imagine with the ending that Polaris will get any better! Also Hellions was great and I loved Nanny and Wildchild not giving a poo poo about the idiot ranting about mutants and just went and did what they were there to do.

Completely unrelated, but do you have any idea how weird it is for me to be able to think and say "X-Men is back baby?" I haven't felt like this since House of M, possibly even before then. It feels like we're living in a new golden age of X-Men comics.

I haven't felt like this since House of M, possibly even before then. It feels like we're living in a new golden age of X-Men comics. I think about this all the time. I’m only reading like five books that aren’t X related. A few of the X writers were on the latest Jay and Miles, and they talked about Hickman (who is a possible cat and/or wizard) pounded a fist on the desk and said “We have to give them wins!” Not just the X-Men, but the fans too. I stopped reading X-Men for a long time because there was just way too much misery.

Yeah, I like a lot of the Utopia era books, but it is largely a lot of misery. Which is weird since it's called the Utopia Era.

I really disliked the Utopia era although it ends up setting up some stuff I liked quite a bit. Bendis is where I got to "maybe I don't like the X-men anymore."

There's been the odd stumble (coughFallenAngelscough) and some head scratching but I can't think of a relaunch as solid as this.

I don’t really want to spend the money on Xmen right now so I’ll guess I’ll just ask questions instead because hearing about the nonsense going on in current Xmen is fun. I remember there being a kid with a Sentinel. How’s he doing and does he still have a Sentinel?

This is kind of what the comics are about right now although it's not really clear yet how the whole situation is going to shake out. I think they're for the most part really enjoyable reads but you know, I think Hickman set up similarly fraught questions with his Avengers run and dropped the ball, so I can't promise a satisfying conclusion.

I love that Callisto has gone through resurrection and still has the eye-patch. That is commitment to a personal brand, she'll wear the white pant suit for Emma Frost but you can't even pry that eye patch from her cold dead fingers.

I wonder if they'll ever get to some of the philosophical issues of the resurrection protocol? Even a perfect copy is just a copy, and the original consciousness/brain is gone. Maybe in Way of X?

Like, characters in these comics have discussed this on panels that have widely been shared and so many people are like "They haven't really considered this."

dani's a former valkyrie, guido used to run hell, kurt has full recollection of his time in heaven, etc. it seems to fall under the adage "don't ask questions you don't want answered". oh, and then there's layla miller whose mutant power is specifically resurrecting people sans soul.
