And oh joy, more AU and alt-future characters.
If there has to be 'future' X-men why not use the current students aged up? That would be a hell of a lot more interesting than a bunch of random new ones
I'm fine with an Xavier focused book as long as the inspiration is <3 Mike Carey's X-Men Legacy <3 and not Soule's Deus eX Machina
Lol they are apparently using words like "new", "different", and "radical" to describe this, but the first piece of art for it indicates time-travel/Battle of the Atom stuff.
Oh Marvel, never change.
Please let Rosenberg stay on Uncanny, it was just getting really good...
Larraz is literally my favourite artist right now along with asrar
I am so pleased about this line up and I hope it means they stay on it one these minis end and the relaunch.
Honestly, I feel that as bad as Bendis could get during his Avengers run the individual titles could still be more or less enjoyed in isolation. Less so with Uncanny, and All-New at times but Hickman's titles are almost unreadable by themselves. Not to mention that the continuity he pulls from can feel like a brick wall.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.
Immortal X-Men - Once & Future- X-Cellent - X-Men: Red
Nobody cares about what you don't like, they barely care about what you do like.
DOne can only hope! Although I enjoyed Cullen Bunn’s run on Uncanny...one of the few books I can actually re-read. I will suspend my hpoes. but this is really good news. Hickman is a great writer. I really enjoyed his Infinity War book. It was what got me into comics. A good old fashioned ripping yarn.

1. I'm ecstatic about seeing Moira again. I hope she will be revived. Unlike other big X-deaths, she is barely mentioned, even though she was the mother of the X-Men. Therefore, her being dead does not actually serve any narrative role. At least when Xavier, Scott and Jean were dead, everybody mentioned them.
2. I like the Redcrawler design.
3. Very happy to have Hickman doing X-Men. I thought his FF run was absolutely divine! Don't mess it up!!
4. Why is Firestar in this? Not Polaris? Rogue? Gambit? Colossus?
So there's Present day Logan, Weapon X Logan, and Morrison Logan? Did I get that right?
