X-Men Monday - Reflecting on HoX and PoX

AIPT: Welcome, both! On an issue-by-issue basis, what were your primary roles as Editor and Assistant Editor on HOX and POX? I imagine working with Jonathan Hickman, on a project that is so very Hickman-like, is unlike other comics you’ve worked on in the past.

Jordan: I am on the phone with Hickman pretty much every day, talking over plot points, going over what we need from him in what order, and generally working things out. When we get scripts in from him, we both read them, comment on how great they are and laugh about our favorite bits, and get it to our artists. As the art comes in, we check it out, go over it, give any notes we have… and keep everything moving as much as humanly possible. Honestly, it’s not that different other than in scope. There are a lot of big ideas to keep track of, and a lot of scheduling to keep track of and then re-do when they are blown and then re-do again the next day when they are already re-blown on day one.

But, we made it work! 12 issues out in 12 consecutive weeks!

The only part that is a complete departure was the data pages… and the BIGGEST reason they were a departure and a challenge is because of a silly technical thing that I am not going to bore you all with, but which resulted in a lot of work for Jonathan, which meant him working on those design pages right up to the last second. But they were so worth it.

I like this part from Annalise, haha, she knows our forum too well!

AIPT: Knowing X-Fans and their many unique preferences, was there anything about the new status quo that especially terrified you?

Annalise: Nah. Bring it on! It’s the X-Men, wild stuff should be happening and people should be yelling about it.

Dang Bobby, get it!

Ooh, who is that with Bobby?

Love the shot of Rachel with Scott and Nathan.

Is that Shan with Lockheed??

I thought it might be Shan too but Im not sure the party is taking place on Krakoa.

Someone reminds the Xoffice Storm is a dark skinned bw please.

[Whim]

that Pyro does not look right. not liking the artist rendition of him. he just looks off and weirdly too young.

Hmm maybe it's the fact that there's a light bomb going off behind her

I’m not either, but it does resemble Shan.

Bobby getting the beef!! What is this party and where's my portal to get there??

She was lightskinned throughout the entire first issue.

Won't work. If they gotta have women of color, then they can't be dark. Light brown or light caramel, sure. Just the way it goes. Least she hasn't become white like Monet has. Low standard, but sometimes you need to have them with the X-Office.

[Hi-Fi]

I agree that the way Storm's being colored (see issue 1) is honestly offensive. What shocks me is that not only the colorist, but a bunch of people probably read the first issue before printing and no one noticed that.

Countdown until he goes full h**s m*d (24x) mode on Twitter.
