They say this is the biggest thing since Grant Morrison�s New X-Men, but it sounds like Hickman will have enough control of the line to prevent him from having something of a Chuck Austen Uncanny X-Men level as his sister book.

It�s wild to feel excited about X-Men again. I like the closet full of costumes idea. More super heroes should have more variety in what they wear. Let the different artists add their own touches, or choose an outfit that fits the mood of the story.

Glad to hear Hickman is a fan of Age of Apocalypse.

Mr and Mrs X, and X23 are probably as safe as any book could be. They�re smaller, character driven books that can easily roll with whatever the main status quo will be. It�s the team books that are going to get reigned in.

I just think they have the best chance of all the X books to come out the other side of House/Powers resembling the books they were before. I�m optimistic that the X line will have a little something for everyone.

Open Marriage Night: Sep 18, 2009; "Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"

Right, but it�s one of the best designs for a two dimensional medium. It held so much promise for a Marvel that was losing Jack Kirby. I guess it�s not fair to give the costume the credit, because it was the way his power was displayed that made him.

I love face turned Juggernaut, he's so much more interesting when he's trying to be a good guy or is at least operating in that sort of conflicted space than when he's just a bad guy.

He�s at his best just being a bad guy. He�s an unstoppable force for the heroes to test their limits on.

Having him try to be good occasionally makes him a more well rounded character, but it�d get boring real fast. Especially in Austen�s run where he�s powered down, and gets critically injured in an explosion.

Best role for Juggernaut is doing Wolverine�s dirty work, and one punching Colossus.

In a book called House of X, I�d definitely include Exodus in the House of M. Hellfire Club, Sinister, you have all the makings of some mutant Game of Thrones.

The most interesting thing is that Nighcrawler is there. He�s never been a leader, but more of a moral compass.

He said he was formally adopting her right before he hosed off to die, so maybe.

Thought I was in the Batman thread. Laura and Cassandra are nearly the same character. Since we already got Tim Drake and Jubilee, give us X23/Batgirl (not going to call her Orphan), Shadowcat/Nightwing, and Gabby/Damian.

They were both conceived as teen girls made to be killing machines. They rebel against their programming and become heroes. They�re both great characters, it�s just that Marvel is willing to do more with Laura than DC is with Cass.

Didn�t think we�d see Cyclops and Mister Fantastic interacting so early on.

Wolverine is in like one panel, and he�s practically at Xavier�s feet, laughing while playing with kids.

Looks like Xavier has Xorn and Zorn on his side too. Don�t know their previous status in the 616 because they�re a loving mess.

This is the first X-book I've read in a long rear end time and it certainly did a decent job of setting up the mystery. The blatant allusions to Maker, the not-even-trying-to-hide-it threatening tone that literally every character who interacts with non-mutants has (even Cyclops), and then we see a Master Mold being built around the sun to remind us that, as paranoid or over-sensitive as mutants might seem, they 100% are justified in feeling that way.

The MotherMold is being built inside Sols Hammer. A dyson sphere that the Illuminati built during the incursions. It annihilated a Shi�ar fleet with a fraction of a percent of its power. It�s also what Mystique and crew were stealing info on.

Aaron did write The List: Wolverine that had Fantomex team up with Noh-Varr to save Wolverine from Weapon XV or whichever one is the viral religion. It has the page where Noh-Varr claims the Kree have a mathematical equation that disproves religion, and Fantomex says he was genetically engineered to not believe in anything greater than himself.

Between that scene, the helmet Xavier's in, and somebody mentioning the World at one point, at least some of this isn't actually happening. I don't think the sheer dream-logic structure of it is just Hickman playing with formalism.

Seems like the text box was referring to the World, as in the Earth, not the Weapon Plus facility.

Hickman mentioned how all his previous Marvel work was one huge mega story, and that he wants his X-Men to stand on its own without having to read everything he�s ever written.

Nimrod at the thousand year point mentions that he wasn�t built to maintain integrity for a millennium, implying that he was built around Year One.

I�m trying to make some sense of the scene with Moira. The background color change when Charles tries to read her mind, and Charles watching birds fly in a circle.
