"COURAGE, DON'T YOU DARE LET ME DOWN"
==================================================
==================================================
3 New X-Men in a single team.
That automatically makes it the best line-up announced so far. (New Mutants will probably still be good too)
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Jan Bazaldua was the artist on Mr. and Mrs. X.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Man I wish they’d give Dr. Nemesis his fedora back. He looks ridiculous without it and mushrooms growing out of his head in their place.
Mr. and Mrs. X was a very weird book for me in that I liked the art.....except for when it came to how major X-characters and Remy and Rogue themselves were drawn. Like, the style worked for me, but the specific looks for the various X-characters just felt weirdly off a lot of the time? Whereas I thought the look of other characters like the Imperial Guard were great.
Pros:
Looks like the Academy X kids will be getting some page time.
I like the artist.
I'm a general fan of Spurrier's work, and it's always a good time when he's writing Legion.
Cons:
I'm betting the "X-Cops" pitch is part of why X-Factor's been disbanded instead of relaunched.
Spurrier's Nightcrawler was really not my cup of tea, and Way of X didn't remotely live up to its potential.
So probably going to be on the fence about this one until we get more info. Spurrier always manages to sucker me in once he starts doing the rounds. XD
Can someone explain why exactly this team exists?
I already knew I wasn't adding this to my pull and this press release just underscores my decision.
While I will acknowledge Spurrier is one of the X-Office's better writers I wasn't a fan of his Legion and what little I read of WoX didn't grab me at all.
The premise of an on-Island "security/police force" is interesting in that we could get to see a more diverse subsection of Krakoa and their inhabitants it's the execution that will pull me up short.
And Bazaldua's art isn't my cuppa.

At the least, it's an interesting team, which not all of the books can say lol
I’m cautiously optimistic. The storylines have potential and I hoped Legion of X would be continuing to look at problems being faced on Krakoa. But Spurrier missed the mark on Nightcrawlers characterisation more often than not so I’m hoping not to see a repeat of that.
One thing I liked about Way of X is that it always had something to say, so even when I found myself STRONGLY disagreeing with it’s messages it still made me think and kept me entertained. I’ll definitely try this out.
