Interesting that Hickman is stepping down from the main book... I hope his new deals with Cyclops' team, as in X-Men Strikeforce or similar.
A book is getting cancelled for sure. My bet is on Hellions. Why? It was listed as on the cancel queue in the same rumour that correctly predicted Cable's cancelation.
Huh, I guess it makes sense for 90% of Hickman's X-Men to have been just set up if it was never meant to run for all of his tenure. I'm hoping his new book will have an actual continuous story.
Damn man, sad if true. Hellions is consistently great, so much so that I wish Wells had gotten the X-Men book instead of Duggan. If they do cancel Hellions , I hope he gets to write something again in this era. Maybe a relaunch of X-Force since the current one has grown so stale .
Curious about the new rosters of the books . Wonder if Exodus or Mystique( would love to see her in particular) will be in one of them? Let's goo X-books !
It's definitely fallout from the Gala. Duggan scared me by saying Emma may not survive
In a status quo where everyone who dies gets a clone body and their memories copy pasted back into it?
Unless someone uses the Gala to kill the Five and burn the tree down (and deletes the Cerebro storages all at once), why would it even matter if she gets killed?
Except if she is on your "survives Hickam's Era without getting stupidly killed" bingo card.
Well, more books that will likely be crap that I’ll buy anyway.
I dont imagine a QC would simply be about meetings.. Mystique hasnt been featured in any book this era. She could be one the leads to a QC book that focuses on the politics behind Krakoa with a Game of Thrones vibe as we see more of the member's agendas and how they try to outplay each other. I think thats an interesting premise
So it seems this is a transition period.
I wonder if Hickman if finish his story in his title and jump off.
If Hickman will no longer be Head of X then it may be time for me to move on, because to be perfectly honest all of the X-writers together can never match Hickman's vision.
I understand that, but Duggan is the lead writer of Hellfire Gala ( and before this X of Swords was co-led by Howard) so I am surmising that Hickman is slowly letting go of the reigns.
Of course, I am assuming so this can be totally wrong (which I would be very happy about)
