[QUOTE=TheRealWashout;4516174]I would guess the issue with Rogue is magic related. To said she's going through a change that will result in an updated look. Perhaps she absorbed a unicorn.[/QUOTE]
Oh, that would be nice, I'd like that. A rainbow flying trail too, ftw :D

The lack of a British writer on this book makes it a hard pass for me.

As fun as it'd be to have, say, Kieron Gillen on Excalibur I'd rather a talented writer be on this book than a bad one who got the title just because they're British.

[QUOTE=Triniking1234;4515870]Shogo was introduced before AvX. It's 2019; he should be starting his own Power Pack by now.[/QUOTE]
Shogo was introduced after AvX, in 2013.

I’d give Rogue and Gambit’s marriage a few more years before either of them starts cheating on the other and/or they divorce.

Agreed. Especially since this new Excalibur book isn't necessarily dependent on "being British." Like most books launching during Dawn of X, the only thing they share from their previous counterparts is the name/title.

I don't think that someone will cheat or they will get divorced. If Marvel would like to break them up then they will just kill of Gambit.

Unfortunately, that seems pretty plausible.

[QUOTE=AppleJ;4515769]I hope you can hear my eye roll at this.[/QUOTE]
Come on now, have you ever read BKV’s Saga? Children in comics are awful - they ruin massive sweeping adventures and drag down the parents’ marriage.
I want all the kids gone, all the established relationships gone and only people beating the **** out of each other. And maybe like an elf. Everything else just drags the story down.

I would rather a talented [B]and[/B] British writer. One or the other would turn me off the book and I am sure they could have found a writer who is both.

Tini Howard seems to thirst when it comes to Gambit so plus side? He’ll at least die with his shirt conveniently torn off.

You know that Chris Claremont wasn't raised in England, right? He was born in London but raised on Long Island. And he [b]created[/b] the team.
Forcing the book to be written by a British talent is... well, it's limiting.

I really dont see why the writer of this book needs to be British

He seemed to be well versed enough in the culture to write it well. And honestly, British writers and people who know a lot about British culture tend to write British characters and anything related to the culture best. Tini Howard might write it well, but I would still rather a talented British writer being given an Excalibur book.

Gosh darn it how I love you.
Ha!
What a way for him to go, though!
