For those saying not needed - don't pick it up. That's fine. But there are some of us who have been looking forward to some of this - especially the first two issues. If my user name here isn't a clue...

I'm very excited for this book. Lots of potential. I don't know that the sales will be as usual since the writer and artists are going to change often. We've only gotten the first 2 topics so I think there will be something for everyone eventually.
I am wondering when Fabian Niciesza has decided to set X-Men Legends #1-2. Back during X-Men #38-39, he was investigating Mr. Sinister and the Shi'ar abduction of Christopher and Katherine Summers. A few issues later, during X-Men #41, he was fighting Erik the Red after somehow finding him on Earth and then the M'Kraan Crystal crystallized the universe due to Legion. It obviously can't be set before he finds Erik the Red, since all the X-Men present in this issue were preoccupied with Legion. Maybe it's set after, but if it is, how did Adam-X find Erik the Red and what happened during their battle?
Finally a new X-book to be excited for! "X-Men Legends" is the first one I have decided to get a subscription to since the ill-fated "X-Men '92". I just hope that Marvel doesn't make the same stupid choices such as they did with "X-Men '92" nor "X-Men Forever". No forced comedy, camp and cameos. And no uncharacteristic decisions or dooming the entire team from the first issue. And for the love of God Marvel...NO "All-new/All-terrible" uniform changes. This is critical! I would rather have the book be totally a 90s book with today's writers and artists, but I will take whatever I can get (within reason)!
Some bands I love: Katatonia, Tool, Flaw, Within Temptation, Breaking Benjamin, Evergrey, The Panic Division, Bush, The Birthday Massacre, Silverchair ('94-'01), Poets Of The Fall, Lacuna Coil, Autumn, Klone, A Perfect Circle, Starset, This Misery Garden, Evanescence, Dead Letter Circus, Pallbearer, The Foreshadowing & tons more!
Don't you know that's not how these type of forums work? Is not about what other people want, it is about what one particular poster wants and thinks everybody else should (or not) get. If nothing else, the recent voting to elect a new member of the main X-Men team should prove that opinions that people have on social media don't really reflect the world outside, but whatever. I am excited for this series, it could be a fun way to tie loose ends without having to do it in the main series, plus it can be easily cancelled once it has fulfilled its purpose.
No way. If Warren Ellis, who is a bigger draw in the world of comics, has effectively been blacklisted from every mayor publisher at this point, then I don't see the justification for Marvel to do so, especially considering the negative publicity that it would bring. On a personal note I have never been a fan of his work, I find his run to be one of the weakest in X-Men history (sans Generation X of course), although I will admit that he did create some great character additions to the line (Synch, Cece, Marrow, etc).
Seems kind of quirky or cliche to see Marvel is going all out 80s or 90s and it's like they are going to get stuck with this loop.
This book could be great! I am excited for it.

Like a Red Dragon, The Phoenix shall Soar in 2024!
The main continuity of Marvel has also been dependent upon nostalgia and it's not only X-Men. Heroes Reborn, Shi'r, Adam X, old costumes vice versa. Hickman has deviated from his own worldbuilding and depended upon nostalgia lately. Could have been better if Hickman if he had touched on recent events more. Like Vulcan or Chilrdren of the Vault etc.

Reading List (Super behind but reading them nonetheless):
DC: Currently figuring that out
Marvel: Read above
Image: Killadelphia, Nightmare Blog
Other: The Antagonist, Something is Killing the Children, Avatar: TLAB
Manga: My Hero Academia, MHA: Vigilanties, Soul Eater: the Perfect Edition, Berserk, Hunter X Hunter, Witch Hat Atelier, Kaiju No. 8
Hickman has had TWO nostalgia focused stories (the first Giant Size one-shot and X-Men #17) out of over two dozen issues that he's released while working in the X-Office. I think you're jumping the gun a little bit. I can't speak for the rest of Marvel cause I honestly only pay attention to the X-Men comics.
