    Speaking as a 40+ year old reader, I appreciate the pandering.

    YES. Me too. 35, but still. Give me that which I crave, Marvel.

    Pfffft "pandering". Because pleasing their readers is bad?

    Exclusively targeting a readership that only wants regurgitated Claremont stories and dynamics is bad.

    Interesting, though I would have liked more New mutants and less Guido.

    Also, I'm glad Rictor's pornstache and the giant sword are gone but what's with Illyana's uglybangs? I mean accidents happen but couldn't she regrow them properly in Limbo?

    Ah.

    I don't see that happening thus far. I suppose I will "wait and see" with everyone else who plans to read this title.

    I wasn't talking about this title. Just in general.

    Am I the only one who thought Guido seemed a lot like 'Lennie' from 'Of Mice and Men'?

    Anyway this looked great and apparently, Xian is supposed to have brought this team together- So I'm looking forward to seeing her again too.
    I’ve just published my very first work on ‘Archive of Our Own’, under the same name as here. It is the first chapter of ‘I Am My Own Best Friend ~ An Emma Frost Road Trip’, which focuses on Emma between the events of IvX and Secret Empire, including the White Queen going on a road trip, to try and have fun!

    You can read the story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15795663

    I hope you enjoy it as much I did writing it!

    This looks more like a rebooted X-Factor than it does New Mutants.

    Because she's Illyana. That is the point. Just be glad the kitten survived--I too am a cat lover, and Magik here reminds me of the TV Alice from "The Magicians." The latter exploded a kitten--I almost boycotted the show. Of course the joke might be, is the grown cat she pulled out the same kitten that she dunked into the Limbo portal? (For fans who remember the Illyana de-aging and legacy virus death, and all the attempts by fans to get Magik back in the comics.)

    Yes! I'm really excited about this book. I like the preview pages a lot! Pander away!

    But Marvel, X-editors, Mr. Rosenberg, don't be stingy with the New Mutant characters. Maybe a rotating cast if you think all of them would crowd the book? I want to see Dani and Shan especially. Why is there always someone missing from a revival of a fan-favorite book? But I'm not really whining too much. Glad to see Rahne and Tabitha. Always a fan of Magik! I'll definitely be buying this!

    I am 33 and I disagree with the pandering, let the writer use the characters he thinks he needs for the story he has planned.

    And Shan will appear in the story. She summoned these characters.
