He said that he, Brisson, and Thompson may approach how they write comics differently, but that they have benefited from a partnership that that lets each lean in to their favorite mutants, like Glob (Brisson’s favorite), X-23 (Thompson’s favorite), and Jean Grey and Multiple Man (clearly two of Rosenberg’s favorite characters) to play key roles in the 10-part Disassembled storyline in Uncanny X-Men.
Expect a lot from Bishop, too, who is integral, said Rosenberg “in a very real way that no one can be.”
So what about the members of the New Mutants who were infected with the T-O virus at the end of the six-part Dead Souls mini? Rosenberg’s not telling – yet. But sorry to disappoint – those characters are infected with the virus, which will not be easily undone.
“There won’t be a switch to turn it off,” said Rosenberg, who added that there is a template for “breaking” a member of the New Mutants (see what happened to Doug Ramsey after he merged one-too-many times with Warlock in the first New Mutants series), and that the virus will “deeply impact these characters in a large way.”
