Matthew Rosenberg Takes Over Astonishing X-Men. Team: Havok, Dazzler, Warpath

just thinking about it. only one woman and one person of color. it's honestly inexcusable at this point.

How dare they not meet their quotas.

I'd like Emma to join Magneto and Polaris on Blue. Psylocke joining this new Astonishing team makes more retro Outback sense.

If he ends up back on an X-Team, which is probably more inevitable then a question of "if," it'll probably be whatever the flagship team is considered to be, if Gold is still continuing.

Gold hasn’t been the flagship since Red launched no matter what Guggie’s fans say. You are also forgetting that Gold wasn’t the only flagship originally, Blue was also the flagship. However, Red has been the flagship since February because it deals with the fallout of Phoenix Resurrection and the level of talent on the book.

Trying and failing to emulate Claremont doesn’t make a book the main X-Men title.

Dazzler's hair is long again *tear*. It's the little things. Now, if we could just get a colorist to remember she is a strawberry blonde...

No thoughts about the surprise member beyond feeling faaaaiirly confident it's a woman. Wish it were Psylocke but why would she be held back?

Sage is both female and (half) afghani.

We, so many people are hating on this lineup on twitter.

Psylocke is a woman and despite what people try to say, asian :P

Unless the reason they're not revealing she's on this team, if she is, is because she's back in her British body? Proteus could do that and like, it'd certainly be super Outback-y.

Not enough big movie/cartoon characters I assume.

Was hoping to drop this book to decrease my pull list but I like Rosenberg and this lineup, dammit lol.

Because announcing her membership while she's currently in a life or death struggle in the same book right now might spoil Soule's final issue.

I don’t think it’s Betsy mainly because she wouldn't need to hide. She’s as much a mutant celebrity as Havok, Beast or Dazzler really.

A sixth member who needed to stay in the shows though? Both Emma or Sage work perfectly in that sphere.

Best to just leave them to it. They’re not happy unless they’re not happy.

X-MEN vol. 4 probably had the best cast. It's probably foolish to think a X-MEN roster will have actual diversity other than mutant's from different parts of Europe or Russia

I enjoy Greg's art as well

Yeah he gets bad rap imo

well...you like to argue...so..

Save it for the movie threads

I hope the last member is a huge curve ball so I'll throw out Tempus and Omega Sentinel re-powered by Mothervine.

Rogue/Sage/Emma/Psylocke are the only other acceptable options.
