    Ev definitely had a strong presence in issue 1, no doubt about that. I think the real test is will he still have one in issue 2...

    Perhaps but it bears considering that there was a marked difference in how Duggan handled and wrote Bishop versus how he wrote Everett. Its night and day.

    That's the key. Consistently portraying Ev in this manner instead of it being one of those rare occasions.

    Straight facts bro. It's actually really hard to believe it's the same writer.

    Let's see how long Duggan writes Ev like this.

    I hear you. But what does that say about writers being paid to work on a book about bigotry & racism?

    Yet, I bet that same writer loves him some Emma. Similar writers would be thrilled to write Namor.

    Yet, folks get writer's block for Shiro.

    Fellas, Jason Aaron has the same history with Black Panther.

    That's a good point. I'm a lifelong Avengers reader and Aaron's Avengers run is absolutely terrible as an Avengers book but the man is damn sure putting much respect on T'Challa's name.

    Assuming that the writer has some intention ever of spending some time on Shiro or Lorna or anyone else, they're almost going to *have* to put less focus on Evan in a few upcoming issues, but I'm hoping this isn't it for six months or so, and as close to a 'focus on Evan' as they're are planning to get.

    As he ought to! Dude got much penance to pay for what he did to T'Challa in AvX. Aaron was dead to me after that mess. If Duggan does a heel turn on Everett after how #1 started.....There Will be Blood!

    I don't think it has to be an either or situation with one getting focus at the expense of the other. Everyone should get the chance to shine in a team book setting. I don't think that Ev has to steal the show but I do want him to have a meaningful purpose for being on the team and not just some throwaway character on the team(like Bishop, Pyro and Bobby are on Marauders).

    I don't want Ev getting more time than anyone else, I just don't want him getting less.

    Duggan: “The outline is done and dusted, and every member of the team is going to have their issue not just to be the coolest mutant, but the most important character in the Marvel Universe for one month. Can't wait for you to join us. Hope you survive the experience."

    I'm stoked.

    Definitely cool to read though I do have to wonder was issue #1 that for Synch.

    It was from an interview just after the announcement of the X-Men at the Gala. It got picked up in a few articles:
