Exceptional X-Men —Ewing/Carnero— “Keep the Next Generation of Mutantkind Alive”

[GoingGreen]

Mirroring most of the, sadly, uninterested voices.


But also, I'm already not a fan of the new X. Much prefer to the Krakoan X.

Jesus, I hope that's not her teaching outfit

[Dipter]

The zebra girl from the FCBD issue has a better character design than these three kids. I wish she was here.

[Dante Milton]

I'll give the first issue a try, but my hopes aren't high. I like these roles for Emma and Kitty but I wish it felt more organized and proactive. Right now it feels very "this may as well happen". The new characters aren't very inspired, we have a Mercury knock-off, Empath 2.0, and a brawler. It's a really small cast so maybe it will be added to later and that might help. The costumes are not good.

[Amacent]

Either Jumbo is dead or had a falling out with Emma because there's no way he would let his girl walk out the door in THAT.

[MentalManipulator]

I love Emma so I’ll give the first issue a try. But I tend to love team books because I can read a lot of my favorites together but here… I never like Kitty that much, and new characters don’t interest me that much, specially these that look so GenZ. The plot also could be cool but not sold on it yet.


The cover looks pretty though.

I'm thinking he designed it as some kind of revenge against Emma for not paying him since the last Gala.

i know we have the new 10 issue rule in place but ughhh..no chance this gets past 5 issues unless the book has major crossover with the 2 main x books......

Nah. It's being positioned as a flagship and has X-men in the title. It probably won't be a good seller considering the cast, but it will last more than 5 issues. That's just being too pessimistic.

[Zoks]

I'm withholding judgement on all of the new books until we're done with Krakoa. For a flagship this cast is very small, so I'm guessing we'll have to wait until the end until we get a better idea of where all the mutants end up, seeing how there are a lot of mutants that don't have "homes" yet. That said there is nothing wrong with the premise of the book if Kitty's role in the current event is over as of now, since she's clearly in a broken state of mind.

[cranger]

I am not going to pretend that anything about the way this is promoted makes me want to buy it but there is nothing that makes it an automatic skip either. I will give it a shot and hope it is enjoyable.

[RAWRlrus]

Picking it up for Emma and Kate, the new kids aren't drawing me in but I'll give them a chance.

Its the smallest of the three, only one less than Uncanny but Simone keeps implying there will be more added to the cast so that may happen here. I'm curious to see if it would be mor new kids or returning characters.

[Steroid]

I'll give the first issue a try and hope that it somehow hooks me.

[PrydefulHunts]

I only read Ewing’s Photon series, and I thought that was okay. I do like the premise of going back to what works with Kitty’s character (mentoring younger characters and being the slice of like X-character). I have my doubts based on some things they said about Kitty at the comic con panel, but it’s best to just wait and see what the story is like when it’s released.

Yeah in Uncanny's case we already got hints and almost guarantees (Monet) for an expanded roster. Adjectiveless already stated there are going to be more members not part of the active team but hanging around at the base for when they are needed. But this one is supposed to come out the latest of the three flagships, so it'll get the least amount of hints.
