I can’t believe “Kate” is still in that horrible uniform.
I love this roster. Storm, Kitty and Emma in the same book is a dream come true. Can't wait for the interactions! Also love Bishop and Iceman, so yay. Plus it's Duggan, so I know it's going to be great.
If there's only one thing that I wish it was different (I may be wrong, but the solicit implies it) is that I'd hope Storm would be leading. It's been so long since she had any prominence in these books. I hope she's a HUGE presence in this, and not just a special guest star like she was in X-Men Red.
Still can't get over how excited I am for this series. Can't wait to see what kind of take Duggan has on Bishop and Storm.
In the end that's all that matters. Jean is back and she is a big part of the relaunch. My only wish for Jean is that she gets a better costume. I hope she ditches that 60's mini skirt eventually, I don't even understand why she is wearing that silly uniform in the first place, When Jean returned from AoXM she was back in her Red/Disassembled uniform. Then HoX/PoX puts her back in the silly mini skirt. Whatever I guess, hopefully she gets something different eventually.
For me one of the best parts of this whole relaunch is I finally get the Summers/Grey family even if it's only for a couple of issues. I love that they are going to put the family in front at the beginning of the relaunch.
And back on topic for this thread, I love that Emma, Orroro, and Kitty get a team book together, they are characters that do dialogue off each other well. Lockheed is back which is awesome. Iceman and Bishop are great compliment to this team. I even think Pyro will be good, it should be the newer Pyro who was seeing Bobby so they can have some relationship tension in the series.
I have 45% reading interest in this book
20% Storm
10% Iceman
5% Bishop
5% Emma Frost
4% Nu Pyro
1% Kate Pryde
That is all.
Some of us wait, some of us act.
A pirate concept sounds to childish for me.

Really hope its nu Pyro and that Simon and Bobby are at least dating.
I'm pretty sure they're going to give it a nice spin. Duggan tweeted to keep an eye on the Hellfire Trading Company thing, so I hope they come up with something interesting about it.
From what I see they're more like the proactive team opposed to X-Force Black ops team and they're travelling around the world, hence the pirate/ship theme.
Kitty Pryde with a sword and Lockheed?
Emma Frost?
Storm?
My freakin' man Bishop?
Yeah, I'm hyped for this book.
