    Default I wish the X satellite books went back to being more separate

    The way Cables X-Force, Alex and Jamie’s X-Factor were related to the X-men but not under them

    And not filled with main X-men that didn’t make the main team

    Like one or two is cool but **** like the new X-Force I have no interest in
    Because it’s characters that I mainly associate with X-men

    m here for HoX and PoX but I hope the series keeps my interest after

    This sounds like an unpopular opinion but I share it.

    There’s something unsettling about how grand and organized Hicks-Men books look.

    I’m apprehensive, but Morrison had me feeling similarly.

    For me, it’s just that those books used to be for showcasing other characters with different goals

    Now it’s just showing other X-Men

    I'm excited about the upcoming satellites each having their own locale and genre to navigate in.

    I also think it's a great idea to sprinkle in some well-known X-Men so these books can last. X-Force is both random and kind of generic and is my least-favorite lineup-wise. Gonna be cool to see Rogue/Gambit not do the same ol' same ol' superhero bit.

    Stories mature and change,Teams have work together and Teams have been independent. You can't have connected world and status of what is going on it doesn't affect things we typically bash the Avengers here because the living the same world and don't do anything for X-men. The bigger point is the large event going on in the world and the X-men have to work together hence the closer relationship of the books. The story pushes the style of the teams.

    Its 2019. The 90s are over and most mutant heroes (and even villians) have since been X-men. Any satellite book now will primarily feature X-men bc of that. Blame the Fraction era for that

    I want the satallite books to be separate for the most part. I want the teams to be based out of different locations as well. Maybe that’s why we seen habitat seeds being planted in the Savage Land, Moon, Mars and other remote locations. That said I like that Professor X is in charge. I wouldn’t mind seeing Mutants that refuse to join him because they disagree. That could be a nice team book. Also the Fraction era sucked.

    I think weaker sales on the X-books means that the more interconnected angle is played on and emphasized more nowadays.

    Agree with this sentiment. Satellite books have been diluted making them standard XMen books going by another name. Jean, Beast, Colossus in XForce, Rogue and Gambit in Excalibur. The series identities have been completely lost. I know familiar series names boost sales but still.

    What I want from satellites is for each of them to have their own unique concepts and teams. So far I'm only worried about the later, because it looks like Wolverine and Jean are already on double duty.
    It makes sense to use Hickman's new status quo as the launching pod for the new books, so as long as each book tells its own tale within this new status, I'll be happy.

    So Claremont now knows that Kurt and Meggan have slept with each other now. Lol. I was exposing what happened to Amara. So I mentioned the Nightcrawler series she was in in Age Of X. So that’s how it came out!

    As long as they function in isolation well enough I'm fine. I'll say that generally individual titles are better if they don't have to worry too much about what another book does. Sure, maintaining a pretense of there being a shared universe is arguably important but no book should have to dramatically alter course due to events that don't occur within its own pages.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    Immortal X-Men - Once & Future- X-Cellent - X-Men: Red

    Nobody cares about what you don't like, they barely care about what you do like.
