House of X & Powers of 10 discussion

Hmm, aren't Rogue and Storm more popular than Jean? She was gone 15 years.

Actually the three most popular mutants as a rule are Wolverine the first and Cyclops/Storm Storm/Cyclops second and third.

So 2/3 is not bad.

Jean is in the Top 10 with ease.

If you were in 90s cartoon, you're in the most popular X-Men list.

I don't know i would have thought they would have taken into account Disney having the rights back. I am sure retailers have a little more inside info than us so they should have seen MArvel was pushing x-men like they haven't in over a decade. Just the names(money) attached to it says a lot. Just my opinion though.

I don't see how Marvel getting the rights back would compel retailers to increase orders after getting burned so many times since post-Secret Wars. Also X-Men and Spider-Man books were outselling a lot of the characters Marvel 100% owns (outside of cash grab events). X-23 was spanking Carol consistently, for example.

People regularly forget X-Men is going to feature many X-Men, not just the Summers clan (I would have a stroke if that were the case). Hickman appears to be doing what he did at Avengers and rotating characters out from story to story as part of the larger team. I'm sure others will appear in the opening issues as well.

They weren't betting on X-men since the end of Bendis run

Marvel seems to have given up on the X-Men sometime during the Bendis run, hence retailers giving up on them is only fair especially in the last 5 years.

Marvel mentioning, that they are bringing the X-Men back to their rightful place in the Marvel universe pretty much means, that they were sidelined all this time

Essentially agreeing with your point!

Oh, I'm not blaming them. The last three times the X-books relaunched, they flopped and Hickman's Avengers never really was a sales blockbuster.

They didnt flop. AoX is a flop. The last relaunches did decent numbers and what was reasonably expected. Anyone expecting monthly top 10 and 80K+ sales had unrealistic expectations and set themselves up for failure

So pretty sure X1000 is the future of current x10 storyline as Moira needs to make sure the plan goes well. At that point i think she will ascend to either a human or become a mutant deity. I mean everyone else has them so why wouldn't mutants have their own. If Xavier was smart he would play up Storm's godhood as well. Every piece of power helps.

A real missed opportunity not putting the superbeast Blet Blevins post-Fall of the Mutants costume on that Illyana variant. A premium lewk

[RachelGrey]

Still that Illyana cover is pretty awesome. I hope she gets some actual time in the book and it's not just her being on the cover.

I bet Cyclops and Jean are together on the other half of the cover.

I was just thinking about that.

Rogue looks emaciated.
