Kingdom X has got it. I've got favorite characters who still get hate over single, out-of-context pages from before some of the folks complaining were even born. You can't let the opinions of folks...

I'd be sincerely worried about Julian getting offed if they made him full-on villain. Guy's already been sidelined for ages. Would sincerely love if he went grey-hat vigilante, though.

Glob Herman enters yet another villainous phase. XD

Agreed on all points. Thank you!

Hi Redjack,

Out of the available Academy X crew, what was it about Surge that made her your pick for this book? She's a longtime favorite of mine, but a some of the traits that I think of as...

Northstar's probably due another miniseries. I suspect he's in an interesting headspace post-Krakoa.

I know them from their Star Trek work, which I've enjoyed.

Northstar pinboard.

Definitely: UXM, X-Force, NYX
Probably Not: Phoenix, Wolverine, X-Men, EXM
Waiting: Storm, X-Factor

It's a young X-Men book with one of the most popular young X-Men and one of Marvel's most popular young characters period headlining it. That's the in for more casual readers. Everything else is down...

Yeah, I think I'm done. The book isn't terrible, but the pacing is so dang slow, the designs just aren't growing on me, and I feel like any attempt to make Snarf cooler just misses the point of...

Yup. Not sure if they thought the MCU Inhumans would drag Kamala down or if she'd be popular enough to lift up incoming X-Men projects, but either way, not a fan.

re: Anole - Mixed blessing, I'd say. He's visually distinct enough to get the occasional appearance and be consistent wallpaper, but I don't think he's been that well served character wise, despite a...

Wouldn't be the first time the older generation has done the youngsters dirty like that...

I've liked their Stat Trek book, and I'm here for the Academy X love. Let's go.

Gage and Carey are, as noted, notorious for excellent deep delves. Likewise Al Ewing. I thought Leah Williams did a really good job during her time on X-Factor too, and I wouldn't be surprised if...

We'll see how it goes. Where I stand now is that I see three characters I like, an artist whose work I'm a bit dotty for, and a writer whose comics I'm not familiar with, but who I've enjoyed short...

Well, gotta give the post-Krakoa era credit for something - I'll be picking up X-Force at launch for the first time ever.

Jumping off this...who do folks see as being a fitting supporting cast for a cosmic book?

Already beat me to it. ;)

Ditto. And I'm gonna quote myself a bit on the whole Rogue and Northstar interaction in this mini, because I really don't think Claremont gets enough credit for just how well he has these two...

Nah, it started with Byrne and, given the interactions between Rogue and Northstar and some of Heather's remarks, Chris "King of Subtext" Claremont seems to have been writing with awareness of...

There's evidence that most of Alpha Flight did know that Northstar was gay (that evidence being a lot of snarky, insulting double speak about his sexuality). So they knew, just most of them weren't...

Honestly, she doesn't read that different to me than some other Tough Guy takes on Logan. It's not my favorite flavor of Wolverine, but it doesn't seem off-brand.

I'll pick it up just because the Academy X kids look to be getting some page time (though that description has me a little worried, ngl).
