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.
What can I say but, "I love comics."
Lineup of Beast, Black Bolt, Dark Beast, Karnak, Quake, Medu-- wait.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
If Hickman is taking over, it only makes sense that Sunspot would be on the roster.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
