the concept alone is terrible, I can and I will make a judgment of the core concept presented in front of me, wich is new mutants as sidekicks, with the knowledge of how this always ends, with this book canceled and the characthers still barely developed, sending yet more 5 pieces of wallpaper to the pile.
Its a redudant waste of paper that stinks at trying to copy the sucess of kamala khan and miles morales.
I'm even wary of getting attached to any of these new characters. Even if they're amazing, you're bound to end up seeing them tossed into the same bin as the Lights, Shark Girl, Sprite, Morph, and the rest while Marvel blames the fans then a few months later repeats the cycle all over again.
I'm surprised at this talk of boycot. Iol. Im not gonna read the teen book, but i thought the forum would be for it.
Just shows how much some posters wants a New X-men book.
I only continue to read X-books because I don't spend any money on it.
If the only acceptable outcome--even going as far to disregard how potentially good this series will be--is for new characters to have as consistent and significant a shelf-life as Storm, Wolverine, and Cyclops then...lmao please give up now for all of our sakes.
Personally I think one, maybe two of the cast will stick around for at least the next relaunch post-Hickman - about the same as other new classes of students. One or two always seem to catch on more than the rest - I give the worst odds to Jean's sidekick based on him having not only the worst design out of the five (in my opinion, anyways), but also that Jean has derivative characters already, mostly in Rachel but there are also a number of telepaths and telekinetics around already. He has the highest hurdles to jump.
Best chance is likely the Archangel guy, especially if he is Timmy from X-Factor grown up (chances go down if he is someone else). Then the Cyclops sidekick, followed by the two others. But that's based on gut feeling more than anything else.
Dark does not mean deep.
I I like the idea of the X-men taking in what could be sidekicks because it opens up new ways to explore the X-men and their impact on the new status being set up. The new characters could give a different view of how the X-men have made a impact and building for more ways for the X-men to develop other avenues of storytelling.
Vita was my favorite writer of the boring Age of X-Man phase. But this title gives me zero excitement.
Nothing about it attracts my attention.
But like they said. They are trying to make a book for everyone. We don't have to buy them all.
And as of now I'm down to X-Men, X-Force, and Marauders. Though i may be dropping them all after the arcs are up.
Probaby just gonna trade them now and stay up to date with the X-Men storylines that Hickman has going on.
My head hurts looking at that "Children of the Atom" cover. The inside better be good (same with Hellions).
"Cable was right!"
