I don't think the Hickman era is going to be delicate at all to the people who just want to see their favourite character ("WHERE'S LORNA!") rise to prominance, haha. But for people who want to see soap opera, big stakes and narrative drive, I think they will be fine.
Dear Hickman,
I miss Daken.
Help a brother out.
Yours sincerely,
Trini.
"Cable was right!"
Rough, for those who care about their personal favourites only and not so much about the overall world in which their favourites reside (I've already seen posts about not buying any X-Men if so-and-so is not featured)...whatever...I have no time for that noise.
You are absolutely right.
The X-Men has been figuratively razed to the ground over the past decade and it will take time to rebuild. I'm focusing on and supporting that reconstruction of the X-Empire. Anything else that comes after is just icing with salty caramel and chocolate fudge.
More importantly, Nightcrawler and Magik sharing a cover....or the fact Powers #2 Cover features Sabertooth, Mystique, Magneto, Emma and Toad, while House #2 Cover shows Blob (not too surprising, before he got shuffled he wasn’t really in a mood for a fight), Evan looking more like Apocalypse, Destiny (I thought she died), Pyro, Archangel (I wonder if Warren is stuck in his old Death mode again)......I’m wondering where Colossus, Havok, Madrox, Sunfire, Beast, Iceman (can’t have only 3 Founders), Storm, Kitty, Armor, X-23, Forge, Banshee, Layla Madrox, Moonstar, Juggernaut would wind up.....
And will Vulcan return? (Not sure if he’s still crazy or if he’d have amnesia). Will the Government form a Counter Mutant Team (like the Squadron Supreme for the Avengers, but with 616 versions of the Redeemers, some Former lesser X Team Members, maybe a few Weapon X alums, as a potential counter force), will the X-Men encounter Namor in his current psychosis? What happened with Ahab? Are the Sentinels in the preview the old school stupid overcompensating versions?

hey guys remember to stop by your local comic book store to get some of jonathan hickman's quality seed

I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I’m wondering if this somehow ties into the “seeding” of mutation in early man by the Celestials, and perhaps the Eternals-Deviants too in some way?

Seems to support this theory.
I can't see the X-men and the mutants not living on Earth being a long term consistent plot.
But it's Hickman, I trust him.
Jean and the young mutant "student?" are shown walking through a portal of some sort...So maybe the mutants will have a doorway linking them to Earth and...wherever?
They could be living off-world but still "work" on Earth.
