Regular and Uncanny have great creative teams. Can't wait to see what they have to offer. I don't know much about the team on Exceptional, but I will give it a shot. I normally like to read something before I judge it.

I am there for McKay on X-Men, and eager to see how he writes that team. Magik seems right up his alley. Simone is hit or miss with me, but her team seems well suited to her strengths, so i'll give it a shot. Same for Ewing, who I haven't read much from. Intrigued by the Phoenix stand alone, but I'll need to know the creative teams before I can get excited about the rest. I will say it is disappointing how back to the status quo the books seem so far. Uncanny especially seems to be channeling 90s cartoon nostalgia, which I suppose makes sense given the new show. Fingers crossed though. Not the end of the world to take a break from X-Men for a spell.

Deeply unimpressed by the status quo regression, but hopefully we'll get some good stories out of it. Excited for McKay on X-Men, and I generally like Simone's work, though the former's roster is way more appealing than the latter.

I'm super down for Mckay-Men. Great writer and artist. Less excited about the roster, but Juggernaut and Cyclops are good, and Oya coming out of her Exiles stuff as more of a serious player strikes me as promising. I guess Elizabeth isn't Captain Britain anymore? I haven't read a Gail Simone book since Agent X, so I dunno what she's like lately. Has the characters I actually like so I'm obligated to at least give it a look. The third book is gonna need a lot of buzz to rope me in.

Digging both the creative teams and the teams themselves. Definitely will be giving them all a go. Very excited about X-Factor and X-Force. A classic X-Factor lineup would be nice.Air Skwirl posted:I think it's Kwanon unless they're going back to Elizabeth's color scheme when she was in Kwanon's body, which seems weird to do unless they decided to memory hole Kwanon. The link in the article takes you to Kwannon's page when you click on Psylocke. I'd imagine that's intentional. X-O fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Mar 15, 2024 |

The teams are pretty cool to me, creative and lineups. Inmate X is the thing I'm most nervous about, if it's an Xavier solo, it's really going to depend on who the creative team is.

i don't really care about the x-men in general and have mainly just kinda been interested in the krakoa era of the x-men, and gillen's work has been keeping me in, so i don't actually see myself sticking with this new lineup. that said, i still will at least give the new stuff a couple months to see if it's any good

Brevoort teased that there’s a reason why the writer of Avengers is also writing X-Men. Has anyone else written both books at the same time besides Stan Lee?

Roy Thomas did in the late 60s/early 70s. Mark Waid technically did for a second in 1996 when he wrote Avengers 400-402 overlapping with his brief stint on X-Men during Onslaught. Larry Hama's eight issues of Avengers in the early 1990s overlapped with him writing Wolverine, but not the X-Men proper. Bob Harras wrote Avengers for a few years while also editing (and effectively writing by the end of that period) the X-Books. Reasonably sure that is it outside of like including two simultaneous side books (Gerry Duggan writing Deadpool & Uncanny Avengers simultaneously, Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers runs overlapping) that became pretty common in recent years of having 5+ X-Books and 5+ Avengers books going on simultaneously.

I wonder if that means that there's going to be some common thread between Avengers and X-Men to lead to another crossover with them, or it's where the next big story will be built up.

Claremont wrote some Avengers stuff during his Uncanny run, but wasn't a regular writer. The Avengers annual that had Rogue stealing Ms Marvel's powers was probably the most consequential bit (which is pretty consequential).

I picked up the line with the Krakoa era in part because I really enjoyed the world building and shakeup it allowed. To just cut that is a massive knife in the side of my interest. New stuff might be good, but I'm wary.

To just cut that is a massive knife in the side of my interest. The X-men were my favorite, but Deadly Genesis, Manifest Destiny and the O5 worked together to eventually get me to drop it all together. Krakoa pretty much revived the old love and I can feel my interest dwindling again. But I'm gonna give the new stuff a chance.

This has to be the ugliest drat art to be announcing your highly Apologies to the talented creators but there's no way this doesn't remind everyone of the bad old Decimation days where you'd just shove a bunch of talented creators on a bunch of differently-adjectived books with the most random assortment of X-characters scattered to the most throw-dart-at-map cities to do the most generic centrist stories about how bigotry is bad, I guess? We're really going from immortal pirate queens and free love nationbuilding to the old meat and potatoes outcast paramilitary groups again and, like, schoolteaching in Chicago. Also some awful timing to put this out right off of the lackluster FotHoX issue we just got. Like, the only reason I was kind of hyped of Fall of X was because, obviously, it was going to be the second act finale, darkest-before-the-dawn part of the arc that leads to our heroes coming back stronger than ever to take back what they lost. But apparently what's actually happening is that they just lose everything, period, and we move on from everything they accomplished like it was a bad rash, just like the numerous other times this exact thing has happened to the X-Men because this is still a corporate comic line that'll happily cut off its nose to spite its face. MCU fans rejoice, I suppose. Ah, I'm being uncharitable to MCU fans. Even they would probably be put off by this.

Codependent Poster posted:What exactly is aimless about it We did this in the aftermath of Morrison, we did this in the aftermath of Messiah Complex and Utopia and the Jean Grey School and the central park school and everything else besides. Mutants finding a stable cool thing and then having it blown up and getting scattered to the winds and then having to relocate to find another new stable thing and having that get blown up...is so hackneyed as a concept that Hickman outright lampshaded it multiple times in HoXPoX and literally called it "the lost years." Krakoa was created a direct response and subversion of that specific beat and now they're playing it completely straight, again. Also, reading these pitches put me in like three different mini-comas. Scott and Illyana really going from War Captains of their immortal post-scarcity society to rummaging around in Alaska trying to find mutants with Cerebra. Again.

I don't think anything about what the previews said for the line sounds all that interesting, but I also don't think there's any version of the next thing after krakoa that anyone would be able to come up with that most readers wouldn't viscerally hate for at least 6 months short of handing the whole thing over to Al Ewing

BrianWilly posted:"The X-Men are fractured in the aftermath of the end of Krakoa, scattered across the globe without a central base of operation" That's not aimless. That's specifically saying the direction the line is taking. Three core books, each one touching on an aspect that the X-Men are known for. Uncanny is the super-hero one, X-Men is the rescuing those that are in need and outcasts one, and Exceptional is the teaching concept. You can say you don't like the direction, that's fine, but it's not aimless. Wildly overreacting to the nature of comic books is a way to be miserable. Hey, guess what, the X-Men have all united on an island before Hickman. Then everyone drifted apart. Then they all united on an island. It's the nature of comic books. They've got some great talent on the titles and that's the important thing.

Again, all love and respect to McKay and Simone and Eve Ewing and whoever else they bring on, who are being given an awesome opportunity to write the coolest superheroes around. But this initial red hot sales pitch opening shot of "[insert character] leading a team of feared and hated outlaws in [insert city]" repeated 3 times is doing nothing but saving me money.

Sorry you're gonna have to speak for yourself about the Fraction, Brubaker, and Gillen runs. I enjoyed them all. I think Bendis had a good run as well. The only recent run that I think most everyone would agree on being bad was Rosenberg.
