    this sounds like a follow-up sequel to astonishing x-men to me. what do you guys think? is the professor getting his own solo comic? wonder who the artists are ..

    Astonishing is already Xavier solo so I am not surprised.

    I'm probably one of the 5 peoplein the whole world who'll buy anything Fantomex related so... yeah, sign me up. Charlie pulling an Ock on Charlie with Charlie acting as a Force Ghost sounds neat. If that's really what this is.

    I can't see him in a solo title. He works better in a team.

    Even a solo title has a supporting cast. I'm sure this wouldn't be an exception.

    Will probably be crap like the rest of Soule's X-work. Plus Carey already did a perfect Xavier solo run.

    Are you sure this is about X? It could just as easily be about Wolverine or Cyclops. Soule has written them both pretty significantly in the last 3 or 4 years.

    no one is "sure" of anything - this is soule's announcement and he's being a bit secretive.

    i'm using the method of logical induction to make an assumption as to what he is talking about. if you have another theory, we'd be happy to hear it.

    my proofs:

    1. soule just finished astonishing x-men run
    2. soule just brought back professor x
    3. soule brought "existing character" professor x back in "a fresh way"
    4. soule has not yet had a chance to expand on this new introduction
    5. soule just announced a new book for "an existing character -- in a fresh way"

    what proofs do you have to assume it would be cyclop or wolverine?

    When I first saw this article I thought about Xavier too.

    I wonder if there really is any kind of market for a Professor X solo in Fantomex's body .

    That's not proof, just elegant supposition. As you said no one is "sure" about anything therefore no proofs will be forthcoming.

    As for your list, writers don't always work on the same characters between books, and Wolverine and Cyclops are "existing" characters. Being alive or dead in current continuity doesn't prevent them from existing. To me the opposite of existing would be a new character, not a dead character. As for Charlie walking around in a borrowed superhero body... I'll pass. The most interesting thing about him was his idealogical stand and serving as a counter to Magneto and a mentor to the students back in the day. These roles are all adequately filled by existing x-men. I'm not sure what the draw would be at this point. Are there people clamoring to have him back, and like this?

    speculation based on evidence

    i am open to your ideas if you can support your theory with evidence.

    cyclop or wolverine are baseless speculation thus far

    1. Soule killed both Wolverine and Cyclops.
    2. Wolverine just came back. Maybe Cyclops next?
    3. That is actually an argument against, as by the time the secret project comes out, it won't be a fresh idea.
    4. He has 6 more issues.
    5. That is just repeating the statement, not evidence.
