I think that all will be new and different, by a year or two and then we will get back at point zero.
Hickman does have an out if fans don't like this take, though.
The Xmen haven't been this interesting to me in nearly twenty years. Let this be the new status quo.
You should. It was messed up and heinous.
And then Ben Reilly, as the Jackal, used said half-eaten corpse as raw material to "reanimate" a new Billy Connors that had to be turned into a Lizard like his father to survive when Ben went off the rails over Peter calling him out on what he was doing and tried to wipe out the human race so he could "reanimate" them all.
The spider is always on the hunt.
I meant their status quo, since Morrison made it look like mutants would eventualy have an optmistic future, and then **** like Wanda wiping out mutants happened to make mutants really miserable, and then Marvel trying to villify them for reasons... Haven't read Hickman's stuff on X-Men yet, but I hear that he's going on a more optmistic route with X-Men, and I was wondering if once he's done, other writters will make a House of M 2: Electric Bugaloo
I like it how this escaled from "Some guy killed his family" to "Some guy ate a kid's corpse" to "Some lunatic wants to kill everyone", if it weren't for Hunted, I'd be wondering if anything related to Billy would have multiversal genocides with the kind of escalation his presence was having
In what sense? I re-read Morrison's run recently and I didn't get that sense of things at all. It opens with the genocide of Genosha. Then we have internal schisms in mutantkind leading to the riot at Xavier's mansion and the death of a student on campus, and then the finale, Here Comes Tomorrow is very much a DOFP-style rumination and the way to avert it is apparently...Cyclops snogging Emma on Jean's grave. Basically Morrison's run peaks at Riot at Xavier's. And the rest of his run while having moments here and there is a poor and weak finish.
There was stuff like Mutant Town and a sense of mutants forming culture and identity and so on. But Morrison didn't exactly show that as utopian or without complications.
Again, rights issues. And so on....and then **** like Wanda wiping out mutants happened to make mutants really miserable, and then Marvel trying to villify them for reasons...
Based on his run on FF and Avengers, I think he'll put the Merry Mutants through the ringer but eventually have them land on their feet and recover and reclaim themselves. His run on FF begins with the phrase 'Solve Everything', and the Avengers begins with the phrase 'Everything Dies" and the conclusion of Secret Wars 2015 is "Everything Lives". So ultimately there was a solution to everything.Haven't read Hickman's stuff on X-Men yet, but I hear that he's going on a more optmistic route with X-Men,
Not if Disney sell the rights of X-Men to someone else, which they are not likely to do so....and I was wondering if once he's done, other writters will make a House of M 2: Electric Bugaloo
The reasons for House of M and the moratorium that Quesada declared on the X-Men corner was transparently and brazenly a case of the rights issues with Marvel handicapping an IP whose rights they didn't have full control over in favor of IP which they fully controlled.
Now that this isn't a problem, I don't see any need for "no more mutants".
If Hickman writes an awesome run one which writers after him want to pick up and follow threads on, then I don't see why there would be similar reversals.
House of M happened because Quesada didn't feel like Mutants were an actual minority with so many of hem running around. It wasn't a rights issues thing. Though that did start affecting the line more seriously later in regards to the Inhumans push.
Huh, I guess I remembered it very horribly then, I should read it again to see what really happened, and what made me reach such a conclusion.
You sure? I remember it was Quesada thinking that there are too many mutants, and wanted to trim their numbers, could be both though, or maybe I'm wrong about this too.The reasons for House of M and the moratorium that Quesada declared on the X-Men corner was transparently and brazenly a case of the rights issues with Marvel handicapping an IP whose rights they didn't have full control over in favor of IP which they fully controlled.

"If" is the big problem here, because we may get a writter after him who, if we assume Hickman makes the future look brighter, said next writter may hate it for not being "real X-Men" and make them miserable again.If Hickman writes an awesome run one which writers after him want to pick up and follow threads on, then I don't see why there would be similar reversals.
Not saying that it will happen, just that it's a possibility, comic books do love their status quo after all, it'd be nice if a change happened, a good one of course lol.
So... what do you think of Latveria rejecting Krakoa's offers? That has some implications.
