Would you all prefer X-Men Team or Squads

[CGAR]

I was looking at what Hickman did on his Avengers run.

Since we don't really know what direction they are going in regarding the team.

Would you guys prefer the typical 6-8 member team OR an X-Men team where each member has squads.

For example:

I would love for Hickman and Duggan to do a version of something like this but X-Men obvisouly and if not to just have a bigger X-Men team in general.

I like the idea of the squads. Just mix it up with some mutants who don't get used too often. Keep it fresh.

Just give me one team. The factory line super hero training the mutants have been essentially built up on over the last decade or two is kind of stretching the bounds of credibility, more so with just assigning whatever rando mutant happens to need to be in a book some sort of 'job' on that team with really no credentials.

Find the 6-7 best trained, best mix of powers and abilities, and best ethics and go save the world. Everyone else, pick up some trade skills and keep Krakoa from becoming a dump.

We've already had "squads" this entire era. I want a traditional X-men team as thats been sorely lacking

I really like the interchangeable parts idea like we have now and in that image above. XoS proved that the most of the island is the X-Men.

I like the idea of two squads within a team of 8-10, with the express intention of giving all characters sufficient purpose and panel time by giving the teams divergent and plot important assignments.

But no matter if it's a team of 5 or 3 teams of 5 on a given book, if the writer doesn't make an effort to balance them well and give each character a narrative ... well it really doesn't matter. If it's a stealth solo, the number of characters on the team doesn't matter any more than the number of chairs drawn into a panel.

I... don't even understand that image.

Teams. Whenever there are “squads” it’s the same 6-7 characters in every book, while the rest are background fodder. The trick is finding writers who can handle ensemble cast books.

I miss some character development in the x-men books atm. I think books are stronger with a smaller defined core cast. One aspect that made Morrison's X-Men so great was the fact that the core X-Men team was super small.

On the other hand, I also love to see the X-Men as a nation expand. Can a small X-Men team really represent and protect an entire nation?
