There's nothing homophobic about it, what the hell? lol. People just have preferences for hair.
And there's a point about them only allowing women in leading roles to appear masculine. That's sexist. Of the female leaders around the MU the only one with long hair I can name off the top of my head is Jean Grey.
"We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey
So instead of starting a series on the NXM kids that many fans are asking for, for years, we get this????
"COURAGE, DON'T YOU DARE LET ME DOWN"

Is it wrong I'm so excited for this? Exiles and Excalibur were always my favorite team books at Marvel so I'm pretty excited about some more multiversal hi-jinks.
This looks great. Definitely be picking it up. I loved Exiles (except the Claremont attempt)
I heard good things about Black Bolt's writing so I'm keen to check this out. That said, this book feels pretty random and I don't see it lasting any longer than the last volume did.
What in the world is this book. I don't understand how this got put together.
I loved Exiles (up until Claremont’s awful run) and I liked the newer series with Polaris, but I was satisfied with the sendoff the originals got and kinda think the concept should’ve been left alone. Not thrilled with this lineup enough to think otherwise
Loved the original book but this lineup is weak!
The original cast survived without Wolverine and any depiction of Iron Man is an instant no-buy for me.
Saladin posted on Twitter that Blink's new haircut is a reflection of her Bahamian roots which will be addressed in the book. I know AoA Blink is West Indian, but is he racially Black? Her hair has never been drawn coded as Black until this redesign, but neither has Monet or any other number of Black, female characters. Has this ever been addressed in story or by anyone who's written her?
"I just came out to have a good time and I'm feeling very attacked right now"
Isn't Monet black in the way Kamala is? Their hair would naturally be straight.
Also, Blink's not an example of the leaders must have short hair thing that's been going on lately, because she actually started out with short hair, unlike Kitty, Carol, Crystal and Medusa. And Jean's not the only one who averts it. So do Kamala, Quake, and Rogue (Champions, Secret Warriors, and Uncanny Avengers respectively), who all have it past the shoulders.
