    Default X-Statix revival hinted by Allred

    This already unbelievably stellar day is ending even stellar-er, after receiving a script from @1PeterMilligan for a project that we've been talking about for many MANY years. I can't tell you what exactly it is yet (you can probably guess)...but IT'S HAPPENING!

    Common consensus is that this is referring to X-Statix.

    Peter Milligan's writing made me leave comics. Soooooo not sure how positive I feel about him back on an X-line.

    I did like the fame hungry and flawed aspects of the team. But aren't literally all of them dead? It's one thing to resurrect a character you want to use, it's another to bring back seven in issue one. I suppose it could be a new case but I doubt it.

    That is, if it's X-Statix.

    Why are people thinking it's X-Statix? Couldn't it be something creator-owned?

    Other than the tasteless Diana plan, I really liked the book. It was the brand of cynical weirdness I enjoy. I'd be happy to see it back.

    Doop's still alive, isn't he? I could be wrong about that, though.

    Yeeeah. He can never write X-Men again, and I would be very happy. That run was pretty terrible.

    Of all the book revivals I'd like to see, I think X-static would be very much near the bottom of the list. I didn't necessarily dislike the run but it's not really where my tastes in comics lie. And yes, I did buy the entire run.

    Thanks! Yeah, that does suggest it's going to be X-Statix or something related, which is cool. Marvel needs more balls-to-the-wall weirdness.

    Yeah, keep him away from X-Men and he can do whatever he wants! LOL

    Of all the things X-fans clamor for all day, I don't think I've seen more than 5 people say: "I want an X-Statix reunion series! Or mini! Or just whatever!"
