October 2014 X-Books Solicits

[Sundowhn]

I think...killing Cyclops off is expected and predictable. But I'm going to read this anyway and my mind will be blown if he dies.

Yeah, if they're going with the stealth reboot at the end of the year, then killing adult Cyclops would make sense if they're also going to try to replace Wolverine with X-23.

[Sundowhn]

The Gold books are all awful: no mission statements, no direction, purpose or relevance. Like, what the hell is going on ?

In my opinion, editorial mandate that only one side of Schism gets a relevant voice -- the Bendis side

Bendis' books are lame as well, and even worse than gold team books.

Looks like Rogue in her 90's attire sans the big hair.

It looks like polaris, quick silver and scarlett witch to me. Polaris with the popped collar. Quicksilver with the slightly pointy hair and Scarlett Witch with the tiara

The X-book solicits continue to strike me as so underwhelming and uninspired. I'll get X-Factor per usual and that's probably it, which is unacceptable considering how many books are in this line and how much they could be doing with all these characters.

The Storm book is taking the wrong direction IMO. It looks like each issue is just "Storm and a character she has history with." Callisto, Forge, now Wolverine as if I need more Wolverine to read about. If they want the book to be memorable and creatively successful at all they need to put Storm in new and different situations to challenge her. This Storm history tour looks so boring.

Edit: "Deadpool kills fantomex and then joins X-Force" campaign starts today)

Did you ever here my pitch for a "Deadpool Kills Fantomex" miniseries? Basically, Deadpool kills every version of Fantomex in the Multiverse, and then he is appointed King of the Universe for ridding it of the shittiest character ever created.

Amen. I can officially say, other than to follow-up on some titles I am done with all of them. I am going through issue #25 with Uncanny and will trade wait X-force.
While I did not have high hopes for the series anyhow I must say, I cannot even image the fans are frothing at the "exciting" solicitations that have been coming up through issue 4 of Storm's ongoing (for now)...the only thing good about them so far have been the covers (IMO).

Pitch it to Gerry Duggan in next week's X-Position.

Storm isn't even out yet! Goddess in Heaven, try it and see before dumping in the fire.

Only if he kills himself at the end. The 2nd shittiest character killing the shittiest must have that ending.

I think there's only 1 version of Fantomex in the multiverse.

I'm sorry you feel that way. But that would be impossible. You see, Deadpool has this unstable healing factor that prevents such things from happening.

Yeah, so did Wolverine.
