Guessing the post HoX/P10 books and creative lineup

[bigstupidjellyfish]

I’m gonna try to guess what we’re getting post HoX/P10. We know Duggan and Lolli have something with Emma coming up and that Hickman is doing the flagship title. We also know that Rogue and Gambit will be on a team that they’ve never been on before that Kelly Thompson isn’t writing and that Hellion might be involved in another thing. Also, there will be new concepts but whether that means new X-teams is unclear, could just mean taking something like X-Factor is doing something brand new with it.

Uncanny X-Men by Hickman and Weaver or Camuncoli. Might not be called Uncanny, could be like ANAD Marvel where Extraordinary was the flagship. Team would probably be the one seen on the HoX #3 cover and addresses the new status quo for the mutants.

Wolverine by Cates or Sacks. He’s been back a year and hasn’t gotten his own solo ongoing yet. And who better to write it than Marvel’s favorite goth boy. Cates will probably reteam with one of his frequent collaborators.

X-Factor. Feels like it’s time that came back.

Excalibur by Williams or Zub. Whole lotta groundswell for this title to make a comeback. Williams wants the book to do new things while Zub has a throwback take on it. Which one would Marvel go for?

Second X-Men title by Hickman. If the flagship isn’t called Uncanny, this one will be. This’ll probably be the book where Hickman indulges in his love for Sam and Bobby. Also may be used to address the future X-Men from P10.

New X-Force title. Brisson’s run was just meant to close out plotlines from Extermination and has also been poorly received. New creative team can breathe new life into the title.

New X-23 book. Maybe Laura gets a new codename and the book is titled that, after the tepid response to Tamaki’s run. Eve Ewing has expressed interest in the character.

New Rogue and Gambit team. Not by Kelly Thompson (thank god). The only team they haven’t both been on is X-Force and Gambit makes sense for that team, but not Rogue. Might be a brand new team concept. Part of me thinks that this and the Duggan/Lolli Emma Frost project are one and the same.

I also have some predictions about creatives that may be involved in the X-line: Al Ewing, Zac Thompson/Lonnie Nadler, Vita Ayala, Jerome Opena, German Peralta, and Marcus To.

Also, I don’t know if y’all noticed but the exclusive wars are starting up again. DC got Marquez, Marvel got Gleason. A lot of people are predicting that Pichelli is next to follow Bendis to DC and if she goes, I guarantee Marvel is gonna get a DC artist and give them a nice cushy job in the X-books. My money’s on either Pete Woods or Bernard Chang.

EDIT: BC also mentioned that Camuncoli would be coming to the X-books back when we thought Rosenberg was gonna have a longer run, so mark him down for being involved too.

UPDATES: (1) Brisson may be doing something with Sabretooth (might be for DML) and Simone has more Domino in the pipeline after a break.

(2) Sacks’ Weapon X one-shot is promoted alongside House of X and Powers of X as being important. He could be writing Wolverine.

(3) Ben Percy knows what’s coming and has an unannounced for SDCC.

(4) First book announced! The X-Cellents by Milligan and Allred! Coming next year, so presumably part of Wave 2. Camuncoli also has an Image series with Soule and Snyder, so he’s out of the running for flagship artist.

(6) Kelly Thompson confirms she isn’t writing whatever book Rogue and Gambit are in on her tumblr.

(7) After cracking the code, the six books for Dawn of X are: X-Men, Marauders, X-Force, Excalibur, New Mutants, and Fallen Angels!
