Uncanny X-men Disassembled coming in November

[Bafflement]

Any speculation over what this big event is that brings everyone together?

One theory is that it could be Apocalypse-related, because he's getting back-up stories in each issue of X-Men Black.

[Factor]

I hope it's not Apocalypse again. I don't see them topping Uncanny X-force, so they should just give him a rest and do something different for a change.
I do like the team from the first cover. I don't think it will be the core after the first arc, but it's a great starting point.
It's awesome to have Bishop front and center and I REALLY want to read Jean and Bobby interact in a meaningful way after the way her teen self outed young Bobby.

Jubilee = Gabby

Maybe Jubilee circa 1990, but modern Jubes is a very different critter.

All in all, kinda safe & predictable, IMO. Not bad, but not groundbreaking, either. It's... comfortable.

Nothing wrong with comfortable, especially after how uncomfortable titles like Gold have made everyone.

[Jesse-James]

I would love to see Vulcan as main villain, but doubt very much we will ever see him return.

Most likely: Magneto

Was, maybe. By the way they got her dressed, looks like she could be reverting to type. But it wasn't meant to be taken literally, only that Jubes is the youngest pictured (neXt to X-23), which is the same role Gabby fills on Red. Her & Honey Smacks have also demonstrated some similar traits, TBH, via past characterizations. Both being portrayed as a chatty Kathy, for instance.

Comfortable usually = conventional... familiar. And in some cases here, I would even say... well worn. As I said over in the other thread:

... I'm actually hoping for a final Uncanny roster that's a lil' more inventive, and outside the boX, ultimately. ...

I'm happy with Iceman's inclusion, tho, as well as Bishop's, Cannonball's, & Jubes' too. Wouldn't know about Gold, avoided it for the same, which is its more commonplace cast. And wouldn't have touched it with a 10 ft. pole anyway, after the seemingly overwhelming response, of intense dissatisfaction.

I am desperately hoping that the early 90’s getup will not be a thing. I choose to believe that it was just a mistake by the colorist.

At this point, I'd be OK with the X-Men reverting to the school being a front or even ditching it altogether. The school as an actual institute of learning was a nice idea that fit thematically when the main notion driving the X-books was Morrison's depiction of mutants as a growing subculture. But it probably should have gone away for good in the aftermath of Messiah Complex. It's been a rather aimless, diluted concept since Schism, and hasn't been able to carry a book since Aaron's WatXM wrapped (and even then, it had to be a stealth-X-Kids book with Wolverine's name on it for that to work). Given that the current line editor thinks having actual students around (as opposed to, I guess, novice heroes or something) ages the cast, the current shake-up would be a good time to any to put it to rest.

My main worry would be that they'd ditch the younger characters along with the school concept.

Ditching the school is an awful awful idea....

That’s like telling the SEC they have to drop football.

It is FUNDEMENTAL.

Where else will Eyeboy learn the 3 Rs?

Agreed! I actually enjoy seeing the X-Men act as teachers and mentors. The downside of telling stories about the school is that it always seem to turn into complete nonsense after a few issues..even with Wolverine & the X-Men (which I still enjoyed reading). Ditching the school isn't right, but they should maybe occasionally have an arc that takes the X-Men to the school or just have a few panels here and there where they are shown teaching at the school before they go off to do something more interesting

[Dementia5]

Where else will Eyeboy learn the 3 Rs?

Well for the X-students the 3 Rs are “Run, Run, and Run”, so I don’t imagine they’d be hard to pick up.

[MYCMTSC]

The only original New Mutants missing are Karma and Dani.

Why is Marvel putting them in the freezer?

We have Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Sunspot, Cypher, Magma, Magik. Why is Cypher drawn like a hunk?

Dani’s absence over Cypher, Magma, and possibly other NMs is truly an injustice.

Haha, fun cover! Now we know why we saw Madrox and Bishop in the same pose.

Kelly Thompson: "[A] few of the younger crew have really big juicy roles in this story too. And I love that."

Nice!
