    Same, and SUPER-glad it seems to be getting a similarly favorable (early) reaction from (the usually, harder-to-please) fans, as it has from critics. Gets me even more pumped to read it myself later today, as I'm savin' it, to savor it's apparent eXcellence properly.

    So clearly...



    ... is a RESOUNDING success!


    And Blue's upcoming changes...



    ... in both cast & story focus, appears to be engendering at least cautious optimism, I would say.


    But then there's Gold...



    ... that's garnered less support than those that just HATE EVERYthing!

    What can be done with it, ANYthing, at this point? Or is it a lost cause, with no hope for redemption, so... scrap it, and start over with somebody & somethin' completely new? Its reception seems to be akin to Lemire's Extraordinary, so it almost feels like its spiritual successor, in many ways. IDK, maybe they did go a bridge too far, and then burn it afterward... SMH. :/

    Most looking forward to XMEN BLUE with Polaris leading what amounts to basically a motley crew of sorts (also curious about how that roster will evolve as Bunn has suggested it will)

    RED the jury is still too way out on. ASTONISHING many people went nuts over issue 1 as well and at this point by issue 7 well.. not so much really.

    RED has some very... clashing... personalities on the squad. A Messianic Jean Grey is fascinating to me to some extent though.

    Hello, What do you think will happen to all the other main Characters ? Storm, Collossus, Archangel, Psylocke, Beast, White queen, Rachel ? Some others where not really relevant since a long time Bishop, Banshee, Forge... so there is not not so much missing finally, but there a lack of cohesive cast IMO
    what do you think?

    -Get Guggenheim off (most important)

    -Switch around the roster SLOWLY

    -Either retire Kitty/Piotr or have her come out then leave the team to find herself (with Karma)

    -Put Storm in position of headmaster

    -Make this a monthly title with only one artist

    And that's leaving out some of my favorites like Cecelia Reyes, Longshot, Sage, Forge, Dr. Nemesis and Frenzy... I get Marvel wanting to usher in this "new era" of characters, but you can't just force things like this, and then get all dumbfounded, panic and reboot the line for the 2nd or 3rd time in a year. X-Men has a huge catalog of characters but there are only really about three dozen or so characters that people care about. And they care about those characters because, hey they're good. They've been built up over years and gained followings. Inserting obscure characters into prominent roles with "ok" at best writing is like shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly. Looking forward to Red but that's because its the best looking out of the bunch.

    It's very unlikely these rosters are permanent. There's no way Marvel would take these characters off the board so to speak. Storm, Colossus, Rachel & Kitty will likely return to X-Men Gold (unfortunately. Archangel and Psylocke are in Astonishing X-Men for now, dealing with the threat of Proteus. Emma Frost is an antagonist in X-Men Blue, aligning herself with Bastion and Miss Sinister. Beast is an Avenger, at least for the duration of the No Surrender storyline. All of that is susceptible to change of course, but those characters do all currently have a role in the MU. As for the others you mentioned, Bishop is also in Astonishing X-Men. Banshee is in a lab somewhere after being a Horseman of Death for a time, and Forge occasionally pops up, but doesn't have regular appearances in any particular title.

    There will always be X-Men who don't make a roster, and that's just the way it is. The best we can hope for is that our particular favorites are being used, and written by a competent writer who understands them.

    I'd hope that after Blue & Gold deal with a few dangling plot threads, and Astonishing concludes, that there will be some changes across the X-line anyway.

    All of this.

    -Guggenheim has got to go. It's not the X-Men if it's only a continuous strain of poorly written romantic subplots and unconscious mutants.

    -Roster changes are necessary to freshen up the book a bit, but as you say, gradually. OML has left, hopefully for good. Kurt doesn't need to be in two books simultaneously, so I'd just have him permanently in Red. Kitty & Piotr are approaching a new phase of their lives, and Rachel has some mysterious fate. I very much doubt it, but the entire Gold team could disband. Some of the temporary Gold roster may remain (Iceman, Magik, Rogue, Ink, Armor) which wouldn't be the worst thing (unless if Guggenheims writing). Pixie promoted to the big leagues again would be nice, and I'd say Sunfire, Jubilee or OG Wolverine would be nice picks.

    -I know an Excalibur relaunch was discussed at some point. Maybe send Kitty, Piotr & Rachel away, thus allowing other X-Men to fill the void.

    -If not for X-Men Red, I would've had Jean as headmistress. Ororo should reassume the responsibility, and if not her, then Dani Moonstar perhaps.

    -Yup. Weekly or bi-weekly books are fun and all, but not if it impacts the quality of the title.

    Nice! I love how inclusive these are for mutants from all corners of the X-Men. I've just got a couple proposed line-ups here, but damn it is so hard. I keep changing my mind, and trying to balance them is a real mission. Anyway, here's one set of concepts

    X-Men Gold/Uncanny X-Men
    Jean Grey
    Storm
    Nightcrawler
    Angel
    Psylocke
    Gambit
    Bishop

    X-Men Blue
    Magneto
    Polaris
    Danger
    Quicksilver
    Juggernaut
    Elixir
    Hellion

    X-Men Red
    Wolverine
    Rogue
    Iceman
    Northstar
    Jubilee
    Colossus
    Armor
    Wolverine/X-23/Talon
    Honey Badger

    X-Men Silver
    Emma Frost
    Beast
    Banshee
    Havok
    Sunfire
    Frenzy
    Blink

    X-Men Indigo/New Mutants
    Dani Moonstar
    Wolfsbane
    Magik
    Cannonball
    Sunspot
    Dust
    Surge

    X-Men Black/X-FORCE
    Cable
    Domino
    Warpath
    Boom-Boom
    Daken
    Marrow
    Adam X
