X-men Monday 98 children of the atom

[Stormultt Divine]

They SHOULD have made this book for new, more interesting CHIMERA mutants.

This isn't appealing.

[9th.]

I can't for the X-community for CoTA go "wait this isn't that bad" to "Hey I like this" to "No No, You can't cancel this book" because that pretty much always happens.

I wouldn't be mad at this outcome, I like underdogs and this book has wayyy too much bad press for a comic that's not even out yet.

[Master of Sound]

Man, there had to be a female equivalent to the Cyclops in mythology to avoid a disaster like "Cyclops Lass".
If they hook up with the luchador, I'll laugh.

We will call her Cylass, sounds better.

[Frobisher]

The Cyclops in thw Odyssey had a name. A female Cyclops would just be a Cyclops.

Your right it always does

Just realised if they wanted to play up her nerdy side, she could have named herself Beholder. But that would have not played as much into her being a fangirl. Also perhaps Marvel might have gotten themself some trademark trouble if they did.

I think they may end up being connected in some way.

It's noticeable that none of the interviews have talked about what the source of their powers are.

[skyvolt2000]

No offense meant to Vita, and I'm sure the interviewer was just trying to sound nice, but has anyone seriously been dying to read this title?

If the editors are dumping these ideas on writers to do-they might have an idea of who might want this title or they are testing out an idea-that MIGHT find its way into Hickman's X-Men or after he is done.

Remember Gwenpool's last book was NOT pitched by Leah Williams.

Priest was not expected to do a Black Panther book after Cap America & Falcon-it was suppose to be a Falcon book. Instead he got Black Panther.

New 52 Firestorm was NOT pitched by Gail Simone or Ethan Vansciver.

I just read the book and I'm eating my words.

I ...liked the issue

Sounds like someone who posted a critic of the pre-emptive critic might feel vindicated.

Vita is a solid writer and X-men fans are easy marks for underdog stuff. I have seen very few books completely negative here. The easiest prediction was when people get in their hands they will like better and I think that will be true.

As for the book itself, The dialogue is a little annoying but they are teens and trying to keep up with slang does feel like that in real life at least to me. The plot and big McGuffin was pretty good I did not see it coming it will be interesting to see how it goes from now on.

[Frobisher]

The book concept is tough to sell to people who want to read more adventures about their favourite mutant characters, but in a way this is the real book about mutant culture, and what it means for mutants to have culture. One issue in and it already feels like Vita is right at the coalface of fandom and how self-identity is formed; Also, there was a fight.

[Sutekh]

I am amused that, one the one hand, I kinda want to see some people who are pro-mutant, and 100% of humanity not being sheet-wearing racist haters. Actual *fans* of the X-Men. Human allies. People who argue for mutant rights and equal treatment.

On the other hand, I'm like, 'not sure if this is what I wanted?'

Eh, we'll see.

[LordUltimus]

EDIT: Moved to different thread.

Should have just called her Visor.


Anything other than Cyclops Lass.
