Firstly, I agree, and would love a Hellions book with *either* of the two pre-existing groups that have gone by that moniker, or even some unholy amalgamization of the two (Catseye and Dust? Roulette and Hellion? Tarot and Elixir?).
Secondly, on the heels of a fun book called 'Marauders' that has not even a faintest whiff of resemblance to the team of Marauders who massacred all those Morlocks back in the day, I'm not exactly shocked. There are no (original) Champions in the Champions. There's only one Agent of Atlas in the Agents of Atlas. There hasn't been a member of the original Guardians of the Galaxy in the book of that name *for years.* (They had a darned *Micronaut*, but no Guardians.)

I have to politely disagree.
Once we had the first cover to Fallen Angels, anyone assuming what is in blue to be the case is ignoring what actually has been happening to make such an assumption.
They have been reasonably "On The Level..." about that what is in blue is most likely not going to be the case.
coming from someone who runs a store yes there are two many x-books and even my hardcore customers are having trouble buying them all also a regardless of what they say the reason for all these books is they even though its a new year they are still paying the piper for the abysmal low age of x-man sales from last year so a little common sense no chance hellions and children of the atom last past six issues giant size is six and issues and done and although with variants excalibur is still strong dont see that going past 12. I love Cable and im sure duggans cable book will be cool also no chance more than six issues we need the OG cable back and although liefeld still gets royalties form the character im sure the reason we still dont have the real cable back is becuase of the huge hickman liefeld feud. so people need to relax and im sure by fourth quarter2020 things will be back to normal and we will be back to a solid 6 or so ongoings and a mini or two. Also some of these books even though its not mentioned are mini series ive heard from someone in the know there was a x- directive besides the x-men ff to not lable any book a mini
Any teen chaarcter will do, not hard to do. I have been on new reader shoes and I didn't needed a new character
Good to see a retailer giving opinion abouit this. I think theyare launching too many book on a really small amount of time. the realunch will make 6 months in march.

And why New Mutants spoke to us 80's/90's kids. I have no problems with them doing an "X-Kids" book, I do feel like they are spreading themselves way too thin however. For every random fringe character we have, there are perfectly fine characters within "the 198" that we could have compelling stories about that are getting ignored.
As a hardcore X-fan I am loving the era we're in and am glad for all the books, but I am absolutely concerned that we're on the verge of burning the average reader out which means Marvel can turn around and say "see, we tried to give you guys what you wanted and no one bought the books."
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Regarding the younger characters, DC has the right idea by giving them merch, their own comic lines and cartoons. Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls are killing it in ratings and sales. I doubt these demos read the Big 2's main universe books.
