Yes, so there's no reason to put Iceman as leader, when some other popular character headlining the book would have drawn in more readers who would pay for the book.

Well, I was being nice and didn't want to bring up the fact that not only did the solo series fail, it failed spectacularly by selling below 15K copies by issue 4 and at 11k in February. I can't be...
As William Munny says, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
Money talks and as the recent cancelled solo has shown, Iceman doesn't bring in the sales. Bobby being the leader of a team will not...
That, or this mini-series is focused on Illyana, with her appearing in more panels than the other characters in the book, hence his frequent Magik sketches.
I don't think you've grasped what Millar was saying. His main thrust wasn't that DC's heroes, Batman excepted, were not successful because they were based around their super powers, but rather, they...
This looks even worse than when this ridiculous pitch was just a flimsy idea. A book that calls attention to itself as being a book that is comprised only of Black X-Men, proclaiming that the most...
Amazing that you hold these views without realising just how racist you are. If a team is all Asian because they couldn't find people with the right skill sets other than the Asians they had, it...
These identity politics ideologues are setting back progressive efforts by years, if not more, by going so extreme that they'll lose allies who balk at their excesses and extreme views.
Way back...
Exactly. It boggles the mind how absurd identity politics ideologues can be. That they somehow fail to see that calling a team X-Men Yellow because the members are East Asians, for instance, is the...
It is sad to see all the previous efforts to be inclusive has led to extreme identity ideologues like you to seek for black people, even in fiction, to be segregated again. Well done.
Yet again, all you see is the skin colour. And that's if we forget that you're picking and choosing the teams, conveniently ignoring the New Mutants and the New X-Men. So yes, you are a racist and a...
You still don't get it, do you? Skin colour is all you see. They didn't set out to have a book with all white characters. The idea was just to feature the original 5. But when you have teams made up...
The book wasn't called X-Men: White, was it?
This is beyond ridiculous. A group of black X-Men and call it X-Men: Black? Then I suppose a group comprising East Asians like Armor, Sunfire, Karma and Jubilee would be X-Men: Yellow? Or a group of...

His interpretation of Magik is way off the mark.
Home Alone: Kitty Pryde
If you wish to know more, here's a useful blogpost that collects the pertinent quotes by Claremont on the matter: http://secretsbehindthexmen.blogspot.sg/2012/03/jean-greys-return-in-x-factor.html

No. This is the premise of this thread by the thread starter:
If you disagree with the premise, then you don't have to read the comments and just move along.
And secondly, those low-effort...
What's with all the low-effort gifs and mockery in a thread that is expressly about giving opinions that are unpopular in a safe environment? You know coming into this thread that there will be stuff...
The thought of having a Magik solo fills me with anticipation, but also trepidation. Magik in X-Men Gold's lineup at around the same time as New Mutants: Dead Souls and now this upcoming announcement...
If you're at all interested in X-Men stories written in the 21st century, there are two series that you absolutely must read. These not only re-defined the X-Men for years to come, introducing new...
I've only read Morrison's run, Whedon's run, and Bendis's run. Whedon's Emma has the sass that Morrison's Emma has, but at the same time, under Whedon, she also speaks with authority, and very shrewd...
So, fans of Emma Frost, which version of the character do you like the most? There have been quite a few writers who have given her her voice. Which writer's voice do you like the most? The one from...
And why would Kitty's political enemies care if there isn't anywhere to deport the mutants to? They just want the mutants out of America.
Err ... I see that I'll have to hold your hand and spell everything out for you. The point is, Jean and Kitty, while trying to achieve mutant goals, and even while Jean's plans are undermining...
