It was back in 2000 shortly into the Revolution/Counter-X era. Joe Q decided for not apparent reason to cull the line and cancel books that even sold well. I'm re-reading my old comics and reached this point. I'm wondering if anyone remembers what was supposed to happen? Have any of the creators spoke on this? From reading the letters sections I got some clues.

Gambit was supposed to have some major changes with Lobdell coming in and I think they were going to get into magic with Dr. Strange. Also heard his dad was going to die.

Bishop was supposed to be lead in a brand new direction following the Gambit/Bishop mini which was supposed have major consequences in the books.

Generation X was supposed to have a crossover with Wolverine. Not sure what else.

Mutant X was probably going to deal with the Xavier story with Gambit and the two super kids Raven and Nate. That's just a guess on my part.

Don't know what the plans were for the other books like X-Force and such.

Any thoughts or info about this? It pretty much changed the books forever.
