Swear to Glob that every time I try to remember what Fantomex is I come up with a different story and every time I read his Wikipedia page I read a different story.

I didn’t expect it but I'll read it. I used to despise Fantomex but I warmed up to him when I realized I wasn't supposed to like him, and now I just love to hate him, and spend my time admiring EVA and figuring out what the fork The World is. I appreciate that Rod Reis, like the other artists, got input on what they'd like to draw and characters to focus on, in order to cater to their interests and best suit their art style. There are other characters I'd have LOVED him to do but alas
I wonder if the mystery title Larraz teased on Instagram is for Giant-Size. Bill Sienkiewicz, Jorge Molina, Oliver Coipel, Clay Mann, Jim Cheung or David Marquez would be great.
Powers of misdirection am I right? That or he's been hanging with Forget-Me-Not.
I was really hoping for the Giant-Size oneshots to showcase artists that don't normally work on the X-books and won't commit to multiple issues - not complaining about any of the names already announced as I enjoy every one of them, but I was really hoping for that X-Women in the Savage Land one-shot by J. Scott Campbell, Storm by Olivier Coipel or somesuch.
Occurred to me that Hickman mentioned The World in x-men 5, and The World is legit a mutant controlled asset that could counter The Vault.
I don't mind Fantomex...I like to have some obnoxious characters around. And he can be fun when well written.
Hope Betsy shows up in this.
Also, Betsy and Kwannon are indeed a must at some point. They need to have at least one issue dedicated to their new status quo. If it's in this or in X-Men I don't care....just make it happen Hickman....

Damn, I just noticed this announcement.
I try to give every story a chance before I judge it, and I'll give this one a fair chance seeing as it looks to be important because of the World and The Vault, but it's going to be tough for me, seeing as I hate Fantomex even more than I hate certain diseases.
Hell, I'll just say it. Fuck you Fantomex.
Your best story was when Gambit kicked your ass through a door.
EDITT: I don't know why your image didn't appear in my response Purplevit, so just pretend that you see it here.
People here really hate gray morale characters. I'd rather read about how Fantomex went to the opera than about Monet, whose development as a character stopped at the point to look sexy on the cover.
Yes, there was a lot of instant disdain from the start. I think many missed the point of the character and others just didn’t get Morrison’s sensibilities. I recall the negativity on this board and others during the time. I loved his intro story in part because it also involved my fav telepaths Charles and Jean. Also fans hated Fantomex because of dark star.
Ironic since Emma and Monet have similar personalities, except Monet wears a lot more clothing.
I'll get this for sure, I'm all in on DoX and even though Fantomex is obnoxious, he's clearly supposed to be so I don't have a problem with the character. That whole splitting him into 3 was really stupid though.
Hi guys. I hope that this is the proper thread to ask this (I feel dumb already), but this issue focuses on one or two particular mutants, right? And can you guys give me like a list of previous Giant X-Men issues? Or I don't have to read them to know what will go down here?
Thanks.
