Agreed.They won't officialy retire him for a while imo but he won't do any ongoing titles.They will call him head of X and will put all titles under his name whereas he won't have much to give.His X-men run was also muddled with stuff that felt like it wasn't his.
He'll probably do a mini every now and then.I was hoping this would be a small and packed era with Hickman's story moving at a good pace but seems like they will milk it.
