Is Jonathan Hickman taking over?

[Harpsikord]

I like Hickman but he often write fow few characters and often they are male characters. So I odn't think I would likehim on x-men

His Fantastic Four was definitely balanced enough but I generally agree that if he's just going to write about "DA MENZ" I'd rather not.

Are you sure you don’t mean an RC Cola machine?

Is there a difference between Lucifer and Satan?

[Sam Robards, Comic Fan]

If true, it'd be good in the fact that we would be able to rely on a degree of stability in the direction of the books. Whether or not I liked that direction is TBD.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Lineup of Beast, Nemesis, Forge, Captain Britain and Exodus.

[Snoop Dogg]

Lineup of Beast, Black Bolt, Dark Beast, Karnak, Quake, Medu-- wait.

[Tycon]

If Hickman is taking over, it only makes sense that Sunspot would be on the roster.

Yeah, x-men strenght is with the women. Unless Hickman change his modus operandi, I don't want him on a x-men book

I like Hickman, I do. And I do think he would be someone to make use of Age of X-Man. And Hickman has made himself rather legendary at Marvel for his epic stories.

But would this work for X-Men the way it worked for Fantastic Four and Avengers?

It didn't even work for the Avengers.

Hickman hates Gambit so I don`t want him on X books. His Avengers were great story but it was a story about a few characters with a lot of wallpapers.

[The Kid]

Hickman's original Avengers team (before many changes over the years) was:

Captain America
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
Wolverine
Hulk
Cannonball
Black Widow
Thor
Sunspot
The Falcon
Iron Man
Hawkeye
Spider-Woman
Spider-Man

Def a big disparity between men and women although the run was very good. Hopefully we can have more of a balance if he's on the X-books

[Captain Nash]

Please be true. He's the only person who's in a position contract wise to take over and do a great job, IMO. My dream would be if Kurt Busiek could take over instead, but I think he's DC exclusive still? I'd also welcome a Scott L/Fabian N return but I don't see that happening, nor do I see lord Chris Claremont coming back in his writing prime. So yeah, Hickman would have to be the best we could hope for, which sounds worse than it sounds. I'm hoping it's true.

[The Kid]

This place would hate Hickman, so I don't know why the hell some of you want him to take over. He's known for sometimes using characters as plot devices, despite never getting to the point of character assassination, and I already saw fans of certain characters having disproportionate reactions to stuff tamer than that. He's a god amongst writers, but I wouldn't wish a X-Book gig on him. I like him too much for that.

In the 6 years I've been here, literally every X-story has been disliked by at least 55-60% of the people and that's me being generous. The X-books is hands down the most critical forum in this site, only the Wonder Woman forum really comes close. It doesn't matter if it's Hickman or Alan Moore, a majority of the posters will not like it

Busiek would be a nightmare since he primarily cares about the O5 era.

Really? I had fun. Mostly towards the end, but it was a fun run.

His problem is that there are just more female characters than male ones when it comes to the X-Men. If he uses only or mostly male characters, it will be noticed.
