At the conclusion of our 12 weeks of HOX and POX, we'll be launching an entire new universe of X-books. Some will be traditional fare, some carry through on ideas presented in HOX and POX. Some books are completely new concepts. I, personally, will be writing the ongoing flagship X-book.
This sounds too much like that overhyped Disassemble and Age of X-Men.
Disassembled (10 issues) = HOX and POX (12 issues)
Age of X-Men = many new titles again
UXM #1 after 6 months of HOX and POX?

When was the last time we saw Moira?
I honestly don't remember
Hickman probably read this part of the Morrison manifesto:
In the last decade or so, the tendency at Marvel has been intensely conservative; comics like the X-Men have gone from freewheeling, overdriven pop to cautious, dodgy retro. What was dynamic becomes static -- dead characters always return, nothing that happens really matters ultimately. The stage is never cleared for new creations to develop and grow. The comic has turned inwards and gone septic like a toenail. The only people who are reading are fanboys who don't count. The X-Men, for all it was still Marvel's bestseller, had become a watchword for undiluted geekery before the movie gave us an electroshock jolt. And in the last decade, sales fell from millions to hundreds of thousands.
The recent X-Men has been written in an old-fashioned, overdense style for one, and we need to update, streamline and demystify the storytelling techniques considerably to appeal to modern sensibilities.
Looking at the six people radiating out from the center, we see the Scott - Emma - Logan - Jean quadrangle as well as further subtle confirmation that Xavier bottoms for Magneto.
Not in flashback?
Chaos War. She was briefly brought back with Banshee, Thunderbird, and a few other dead X-Men.
Before that, 2001 when she was killed off. Mystique blew up the Muir Isle complex, and Moira was caught in the blast. She died on the Blackbird en route to Westchester.
Honestly this has me excited, Hickman so far in everything I’ve read of his from Avengers, Secret Warriors, FF, and even some of his indie stuff have never disappointed me. So I’m definitely in to see what he has planned.
Only thing that bumbs me out is that Mr. and Mrs. X will end, I really liked that book.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Me celebrating that John might make me like this franchise again vs Me knowing that I'm going to inevitably start complaining about all the white people
