Hellfire Gala 2022! Which book should get rebooted next year?

[OBrianTallent]

Uncanny Avengers
Writers: Al Ewing & Vita Ayala
Artist: Schiti
Roster:
- X-Men: Polaris, Gorgon, Sprite, Kid Omega and Karma
- Avengers: Captain Marvel (Carol, until I can contrive her death in favour of Monica), Hawkeye (Kate), Captain America (Sam), Hazmat and Lightning
- Cosmic (as a ‘neutral’): Deathcry (Shi’ar are traditionally pro-X-Men, but she’s an ex-Avenger)
Reason: I’m a simple man and I want X-Men/Avengers team ups, but it doesn’t take a genius to guess which way the editorial winds are blowing
Premise: The World has changed. The age of humans is ending and the age of mutants, long delayed, is upon us. As mutant supremacy grows more secure, the human governments begin to crack down on the AI, superhumans and the supernatural; seeking to finally bring to heel an army, or gain the corpses to unlock such power to turn against mutants. Utterly alienated from the status quo they have sacrificed so much to defend and forced to seek the aid of the victorious mutantdom to protect themselves, their friends and their families; the Avengers must now move to help change a world that has always feared them, in just they way everyone was afraid they would.
Statement: The World outside your window ends here

This would be an awesome idea. Steve (or Carol) approaches the Quiet Council to build a unified team...Replace Polaris with hmmm.....Winddancer, M, Dazzler, Syrin...M & Syrin would be the most fun in terms of personality clashes. Dazzler could be fun just for wit and character. Sophia is basically a blank slate but with a bit of history to build on and a unique power set for the team.

The main X-Men book will probably be the book that gets a new roster, but screw that. Let’s see what you’d like to see.

The caveats are:

1. only one team per person.

2. Give them a roster of 6-8, the reason why you want to see the book relaunched (please be more witty than “this book sucks”).

3. Have a creative team attached to the relaunch, and what they’d bring to the book that you’d like to see.

4. Give the team a mission statement. Why do you want to see them together? What will they do to advance the Krakoan culture?

5. You cannot choose any of the current members or creators on the newly launched X-Men title by Duggan and Larraz.

Duggan & Larraz are off the board.

Cyclops, Jean, Polaris, Sunfire, Rogue, Synch, and Wolver-23 are ineligible to be a part of your roster.

6. Only pitch one book per person. I know there are valid criticisms for all of the books, but we’re only getting one relaunch post Gala so…

HELLFIRE GALA into the year 2525

I strongly believe the New X-Men deserve to get a book again. I think with the right cast and the right creative team, this should most likely become a high selling book, as (at least on this board) many people are longing for it.


New X-Men
Writer: Mike Carey
Artist: JClay Mann (remember, he did Age of X, he is awesome)
Roster: Rogue and Gambit and rotating X-Kids of the New X-Men generation and a few who came later
Reason: The Young X-Men need to have training and guidance. Who better to do that than Mr. & Mrs. X? Rogue had this role before and she was great at it. That is why the Quiet Counsel agreed the kids should be looked after, trained and cared for. Some of these kids will be added to X-Men, Marauders, Excalibur etcetera for some missions if needed. We will get to see how Surge and Hellion react to the fact they have not been on special missions yet, but also how they finally will be. We will see a follow-up on Indra, how his powers further developed. We will see Anole and Graymalkin finding love and we will see how Bling! react on the romance between Loa and Mercury. Hijack will bring down more than just a helicarrier. We will find out why Dust really left the Champions and if Match is more than just a hothead. We will see how the kids live, love, train, learn and fail. Some will prove to be better as citizens/helpers of Krakoa, others will become are the X-Men of tomorrow.
Mission Statement: Getting the best next generation of X-Men

We know why she left, read Outlawed #1. She didn't agree with some of Kamala's methods, and then a team meeting got raided by CRADLE and two team members were captured. With teen vigilantism illegal, she fled to Krakoa, which wasn't around yet when Cyclops told her to join the Champions.
