    UXM was selling more than any book at Marvel, and this is prior to AvX starting.

    Hickman said he grew up a TEEN TITANS fan, and would love to do that someday. "I love that company, and I love those books."
    YO BOSS WRITE SOME DEATHSTROKE BRO

    Hickman: My only rule for the vast majority of X-stuff is there's no real need to create new characters when you have 100s that are not being serviced in a way that makes everyone happy. My mandate, my idea behind what we are doing is that we go back and fix what's broken, tell forward-looking stories about a lot of characters- many which you haven't seen in awhile
    ooooh daddy say it louder

    "In addition to that, I'm going to be doing some other stuff at Marvel but I can't talk about it."
    ooooh daddy please don't be fucking eternals please god

    Hickman said he got the FF gig because the Millar/Hitch run before it didn't succeed the way Marvel want it, so they gave it to him - "the new guy."
    lmao

    Hickman: On the race, obviously we need more characters of color. The ones we do have - it's important to write them well, and make them as big as possible. There's some we're bringing back, which I hope people will be excited about.
    please sensei unleash your inner weeb and bring back silver samurai, scarlet samurai, and sunfire

    Just found out Hickman is a cat person
    that tracks
    I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate

    I don't know what to expect so far with the 6 titles. It's not enough revolutionary and the cast of some teams are weird(X-Calibur/X-Force). Even if X-Men seems fine to me, I don't understand where's the hype in these titles.
    The plot for their stories are not enough appealing too. It's not the Big Changes that Marvel sold us these last months. In fact, it's pretty disappointing. Maybe, I expected too much for a relaunch. For me, HoX/PoX seem more interesting than the post-HoX/PoX. For a relaunch of the X-titles it sucks so bad!
    Don' be wrong about my feelings and opinion, I like some stuffs I saw(I wrote about it earlier) BUT if I dug a little there's nothing new in these announcements compared to the usual announcements.

    Well in the Q&A he said that the new stuff won't make sense until we read HoX and PoX, and then he said that if things aren't going so well with whatever Wave 1 is, he has another plan to use but it's "severe".

    Also definitely looks like Hickman is going to bring Skin and Synch back (saying some poc will return and that Gen X wil be fixed)
    Ummm...makes that theory that Xavier is resurrecting mutants more likely.

    I intend to pick them all up for at least the first several issues. There is no point in complaining about something until you read it.

    But, I only voted for New Mutants, Fallen Angels, and Excalibur. Those are the comics I am most looking forward to. I know that wasn't the question that the poll asked, I just wanted to give those comics some love.

    X-Men is probably the title that I am looking forward to the least. I know that the comic is meant to have a rotating cast with most of the mutants present at some point, but I have a hard time getting excited about a comic that features a team made up of the Summers family as its first story.

    As I said before I will read HoX/PoX, even if I was dubitative of the isolationist decision. For the after, we will see it AFTER but at the moment it's not appealing for a novelty.

    Hey, I'm with you on that. I don't think I like anything from Wave 1, but I maybe it'll change after reading HoX/PoX. Although...6 books is pushing it.

    Well, at the beginning I was exciting to see some of my favorite mutants on cover but after thinking hard about this announcement well I had the feeling it definitively lacks something about these books.

    Well disappointed reactions are to be expected but keep in mind these next 6 books are based on two 6 part miniseries that have yet to be released that's supposed to shake up the world of the X-Men for the foreseeable future so naturally the solicits are going to be as vague as possible while still trying to garner interest.

    Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
    Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
    Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
    Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

Just appreciate the character for who it is because soon enough you'll have your roided up Old Man Cable back.
    To be fair I also thought the time displaced, young O5 were also worse in every way. Ha.

    Wifi locked up his father in a bunker so he could play some test that put an innocent man and his family in danger.

    Is anyone following the Hickman "Spotlight" panel? I think it's on right now (10 to 11 CA time?). My computer won't pull up the Newsarama coverage.

    Kid Cable is literally the same guy but younger. I like him and I want to see where his story is going
    Real-talk: I find these time-displaced/younger "replacements" lazy writing. Basically, I see them as an excuse to write a "new" character and ensure it has a fanbase by taking the name and appearance of an established one. Why do this? Because of a lack of creativity/it's hard to write stories about the old version for reasons. Cable, to me, is a grizzled veteran super-soldier/closest approximation the X-Men have to a terminator from the future, who went thru so many classic adventures with the X-Men. WiFi is an inexperienced knock-off with a superficial resemblance. I become a fan of a character based on the history they went thru. WiFi (and BMB's original characters, the OC-5, when first introduced) haven't earned that.

    I'm not sure how to explain it better, so here's the best analogy I can come up with at the moment: imagine your favorite pet that you've spent years with gets runover by truck-kun. You're torn-up, so your family buys you a pet with similar characteristics and says your pet never died because, look, it's got the same color and feel of fur. You know it's not the same one, but everyone else says it is and that you should just give it time because it'll turn into your old pet.

    Granted, I will concede that it will take time to "build" this new character again. And, hey, maybe he'll have his new set of fans (as Marvel likely intends). But WiFi is not Cable and will never be Cable. He's his own character.
