You forgot Marauders which hopefully starts to utilize it's entire cast.

thanks for the info

I'm oddly excited to see Forget-me-not on a team. Such a unique mutant, I thought his intro story was beautiful and his team up with x-force was cool. Happy to see other cast members as well, but I just want to read more of him.

[DIVINITY]

No real interest here, outside of Blindfold… But I’m in, just for her.

[Thundershot]

Ugh, I hate Nightcrawler with a beard…. Hopefully the story is good.

I hate the beard too.

Speaking for myself, my biggest problem with WoX and Onslaught Revelation was they seemed way more concerned with contriving a change of heart and rehabilitation for Cortez than achieving any measure of justice for Lost. I'm very much over the whole 'not forgiving those who've wronged you does you more harm than them' because like I'm all for the power of forgiveness, but for it to HAVE power it has to be a CHOICE and far too many narratives tend to be more concerned with backing victims into a corner where choosing NOT to forgive is treated as a form of self-harm, which kinda.....yeah. Don't love that, is all I'm saying. Yes, holding on to hate can be detrimental to one's wellbeing in some cases, but in other cases y'know what? Its entirely deserved and hating a little weasel man for being a homicidal and barely repentant parent-killer is an entirely valid choice and about as harmful to your own health as a moderate case of cholesterol.

Personally I'd be a lot more confident in this series if I felt Spurrier's take on building a whole new justice system from scratch was more likely to focus on concepts like restorative justice, where the focus is kept one hundred percent on the victims of crimes and what they need and deserve rather than the focus being on the victimizers whether to penalize them or rehabilitate them, but we'll see if this ends up more nuanced than WoX was.

But it has characters I find interesting, so that's basically the basis for my checking this one out.

Well said, BobbysWorld

Nature Girl book? What?

[Saithor]

Nature Girl book? What?

The X-Men green arc ended with the threat that Nature Girl would return.

I like Nightcrawler and Juggernaut so I'll get this.

[Park Slope Pixie]

Looks amazing, star studded casting!

Looks amazing, star studded casting!

I want Si to push it up a gear.
I like all the cast, this book should go places.

[Triniking1234]

So Juggernaut still has his Cryttorak powers but he's a free agent?

Also if we're putting Pixie in sexy clothes, does this mean she's not a teenager anymore?

[Rufio]

To be fair, I think Legion is supposed to be more internal security and peacekeeping while X-Force is more foreign threats. Not that X-force has been good for either, considering the cavalcade of failures they keep on going through. And typically you want your peacekeeping/justice system up first instead of relying on vigilante justice for that kind of thing. Honestly a miracle if they haven’t had a lynching yet.

This is true. Well, we’ll see how much better this team does on the home front. :B

I'm super stoked for this.

One reason is the cast -- what a fantastic bunch of misfits! Obviously Legion and Blindfold are of major interest, but Nightcrawler is wonderful, Juggernaut is in an interesting place, and ForgetMeNot is... uh...

While I appreciated what Spurrier was trying to do in Way of X, I do think it missed the mark a little, in that it wasn't as WAY OUT THERE as most of Spurrier's other work. I'm hoping this book rectifies that issue with the weirdest X-Men missions I've ever laid eyes on.

One caveat: Chamber should be on this team.

You're forgetting Hellion, who would be perfect for this book.
