Hickman X-Men and the return of X-Statix in July. Could Marvel really have got their act together this much?
X-Force/X-Statix was always one of those runs that I wanted to read but simply never got around to getting it. So I don't know if this'd be a good place to jump in or if I should try to go back and get the original run first.
What can I say but, "I love comics."
People are so sensitive nowadays that I fear that this return will not be as satirical as it used to be.
It's just a one-shot.

One-shot or not, it's still great to see the X-Statix return. And maybe it could still lead to more stories later on
I still miss the original U-Go Girl, though. Cant have everything, I guess.
People were pretty sensitive to a lot of things during the days of the original comic. The atmosphere was pretty tough with things like Iraq war and Islama-phobia being huge topics for debate. There was also the controversy over the Princess issue.
I thought that there was some good media satire in the original X-Statix comics, unless I am misremembering things. Given all the references to fake news these days, I could see satire over that being pretty funny. I'm not saying that that is what we will be getting in this comic, but it would be interesting.

This is the best news I've heard in ages. I missed out on the original series when it was being published monthly, but I'm going to buy the hell out of this one shot when it lands.
Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

Nobody cares about what you don't like, they barely care about what you do like.
I know this is just a one-shot, but what I wouldn't give for a rematch between the X-Statix vs. the Avengers. That was some fine mainstream hijinks.
It's probably more than just this one-shot. I doubt they would've worked on it for a year if this is all.
