It's not meant to be in continuity, but the idea of retooling X-men history in a more coherent way is not bad.

I guess? Just trying to say that this two issue project that had no major hype from Marvel (seriously, not even a single push from their marketing to get retailers to carry it) is the new X-Men history kind of feels silly.

They usually begin that way. Man of Steel, Superman Birthright and Spider-man Chapter One for example.

I liked how Future Deadpool was just kind of killed by falling.

That reminds me how I was thinking about the X-men Bendis created for that book, they've basically vanished. I was hoping at least Tempest would show up in the background.

Remember the Astonishing cover with the blacked out team? The three covers were the same, just one visible team member on each cover. Cable on X-Force, Havok on X-Factor and Captain Britain on Excal. No interior art or creators announced, just three teasers.

Is it just me or is the whole approach of "let's shuffle the 100+ characters from the X-universe around willy nilly onto like five books with different colors and adjectives on the title once and a while and call it reinvigorating the franchise" approach to these series not really working anymore?

They've been doing the same with the Avengers. DC is doing it with the Justice League.

Stop trying to make Post-Credits scenes in comics happen, Marvel: https://news.marvel.com/comics/88824/exterminate-the-past-eliminate-the-future/

Not really feeling Extermination based on Brisson and yet another dystopian future X-struggle storyline either. All-New Wolverine's nigh-utopian future in the final arc has been such a fun change of pace.

It's such a stupid concept. Marvel needs new people in their marketing department.

Where did we get the idea that Emma is Jewish anyway? She's as WASP-y as they come.

As for Kitty, I think it was said back in the 80's that she wasn't kosher, not sure though.
