[Ambaryerno]

Interesting, it seems we're not done with the Orphans just yet.

Although boo on Morissette taking over art. That was one of the weakest parts of EotSII.

[Weather]

Sad that Generation X was canceled, loved the book.

Not quite what I expected this "new team" of X-men Blue seems to be. Now, I'm not sure they are gone forever, since they are only "lost in space". Hope they die there.

And who would be the new X-men Gold? The kids? Ah, Guggenheim writing? Eh, who cares then...

[Hi-Fi]

Generation X canceled. And it looks like that's Iceman's last issue as well.

[AcesX1X]

i didn't realize new mutants was going to be a LS .

tho with the way marvel books get cancelled these days maybe it is for the best ..

[Maestroneto]

It looks like Bunn has moved on from upsetting Emma fans and is now focusing on riling up Polaris fans.

Generation X canceled. And it looks like that's Iceman's last issue as well.

Iceman at least seems to segue into a relaunched team book.

[Andru]

There are also a few New Mutants variants scattered around in the solicits...

DOCTOR STRANGE: DAMNATION #3 (OF 4) - Magik
X-MEN GOLD #23 - Dani
X-MEN RED #2 - Sunspot
X-MEN: BLUE #23 - Wolfsbane
OLD MAN LOGAN #36 - Cypher
DESPICABLE DEADPOOL #296 - Warlock
CABLE #155 - Cannonball

yayyyy this makes me so happy. especially the way matt rosenberg was dogging dougie on twitter the other week <3

i have a feeling he was just messing with the fans tho

[Dthirds3]

Interesting, it seems we're not done with the Orphans just yet.

There a good consept for a antagonist, and with there numbers its no supprise they wont go away. Im just annoyed that Morissette is back on art. I hope it improved dramatically form enemy of state 2.

[Soulsword323]

Super annoyed that Bunn is going down the "Lets have Polaris get possessed and then rescued" trope that's been beaten to death. I can't get excited for it, even if I am a fan of Bunn. Lorna's already dealt with this Malice crap in the 90s, when JM had Havok get possessed, and it doesn't need to be dealt with again. I have a feeling that this arc will be something to redeem Havok, where he'll have a hand in freeing Lorna from Malice's control. Hate that trash relationship. So irritated with this.

[The_Phenom2893]

Infinity Countdown Prime
Infinity Countdown #1
Old Man Logan #36
Old Man Logan #37
Cable #155
Astonishing X-Men #9
X-Men Red #2

I'm only getting Red, because Logan will show up at the end, after that, I'm dropping the title... Unless he stays. (not happening)
Now, If can looked for someone who's buying Two-in-one and Iron Man.

[Ambaryerno]

There a good consept for a antagonist, and with there numbers its no supprise they wont go away. Im just annoyed that Morissette is back on art. I hope it improved dramatically form enemy of state 2.

Just read on Taylor's Twitter that this is going to be a 1-shot, as well. Don't mind seeing that, actually. Too many books these days build around the trades, so it's nice to see some one-offs.

[RAWRlrus]

It looks like Bunn has moved on from upsetting Emma fans and is now focusing on riling up Polaris fans.

No he's still piasing off Emma fans by not dropping this ****. He's multitasking now.

[MYCMTSC]

I'm liking a bunch of those New Mutants variants.

there are many things I don't like about this

In the Emma thread I wrote: "I don't like this, and it also seems like bad continuity to me. Shaw had his mind wiped by Emma like 6 or 7 years ago, was pretty much a member of Generation Hope, freed the X-Men kids from the Avengers in AvX, had to read files about his past to know about himself, couldnt believe how evil he was, and hasnt done anything really evil ever since. He lead a team in Secret Empire that had Magik, Strong Guy, Marrow and Boom Boom iirc.
Making him a villain again seems like another regression"

Havok became evil because of a magic spell of Doom and Wanda in the AXIS event, I don't think you can redeem or heal yourself from a magic spell. The way to redeem Havok is finding a way to break the spell. It seems weird to me if he were to get heroic again in spite of the spell all through willpower (why would he desire that if he is morally inverted?).

this book feels like a very reactionary greatest hits mix. sad to see the O5 are lost in space and not in their right timeline too.
