Gail, I'm not sure if anyone has asked this already, but what has been the most (1) surprising and (2) challenging thing about writing X-Men?

Gail! ❤️🔥🥹
I have a hunch, as others have intimated or explicitly stated, that what’s been announced will serve as a prologue to a more propulsive relaunch. It’s clear mutants will still be in the midst of and...
I think the New X-Men, with its Age of Apocalypse inspired logo, was always going to be the upcoming X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse series. I think they just pushed back the announcement.
I said the poster who shared this seems genuine, and they’ve only shared what a source they trust has shared with them. And I posted it for fun and to encourage discourse and speculation. Not...
Phoenixx9, it’s an exciting time to be a Jean fan, and we’ve been building up to this for nearly three years. Good times ahead, love! ::hug::
Added this to my original post, too.

Here are some rumors from @XNewsMediaGroup, who seems sweet and genuine, on Twitter. Let’s have fun with the rumors!

Oh. I love this. And this isn't even my style or something I would ordinarily choose for Jean.
Iirc, Gillen mentions it here:

You make an extremely valid point regarding the utility of superheroes with abilities that are more tactical and limited in scope versus those with powers of a more metaphysical and infinitely...
I think misogyny has decreased, but conscious and unconscious sexism still runs rampant, particularly in the comic book medium. (On second thought, perhaps I should've used sexism instead of misogyny...
This is wonderfully poetic.
This made me cackle and then smile. 🥹
Gillen did mention in an interview that he recently re-read the original X-Men Forever (2001).
Jean’s story in 13 words 🥹 (From X-Men Forever [2001]:
“She had forgotten what it felt like. Or, she hadn’t wanted to remember.”

Also, to belabor the point I was trying to make in my discussions with Wiccan and Havok83:
Jean’s story in 13 words 🥹 (From X-Men Forever [2001]:
“She had forgotten what it felt like. Or, she...
Thanks for the thoughtful responses! I'm itching to respond to you all, but I have to finish up a paper for school that's I've been putting back for too long. :cries: I'll respond soon!
lol. Waiting for details about these solos is torturous.
I think she can and want her to do BOTH. I want her to remain dedicated to the mutants and the X-Men–her family—and to go on periodic cosmic sojourns, exhibiting her highest potential, for various...
He’s beautiful, too.

Ororo and Jean waltzing with Death and Eternity, respectively. Nobody—and I mean NOBODY—is doing it like them. This is the level of drama and power I expect for their solos.

I wish I could write more, but I’m rushing to school to finish a paper, so screenshots and a quote will have to do for now.
Newly revealed design for Eternity by Valerio Schiti for Hickman’s...
lmao. Phoenix has been described as “a primal force, second only to that of the Creator” (Claremont, 1980), “the singular universal manifestation of life” (Hickman, 2019), and “the glory at the heart...
NOTE: I corrected some typos in my original post.
It's okay, Wiccan. I know you meant no harm. And I'm glad we've had this discussion. You definitely made valid points.
See, I read the...
I've always found this excerpt from the 1979 The Comics Journal interview with Chris Claremont (first image) maddening. Claremont and Cockrum always intended for Jean to be the "first female cosmic...
