i just started the podcast but Kieron says that he Immortal X-Men #4 deals with some of the fallout of the reveal of Dr. Stasis

[AppleJ]

Thanks! I'll check this out!

Anyone listen to this and care to post highlights please?

I really like Duggan. He seems chill, humble, and easy to chat with. He praised Gillen’s work and admitted that he’s not at his level. If I remember correctly, he called Gillen’s work complex, intelligent, and/or graceful. I didn’t take any notes, although I meant to.

He did talk about an upcoming three-issue arc that he wrote for year two that he seems really proud of and that apparently took a lot out of him. He needed a break. He highlighted Lorna as a surprising standout for him and almost confirmed that she is leaving the team but steered away from doing so quickly and intelligently. However, he did say we should expect some interesting guest stars, including one major, well-known character, along with some of year one’s team members.

He said even the members that leave the team will still have a special relationship to this constantly changing team, and we can expect to see them again. I think he said something to the effect of this team being the genesis of a separate family within a family, i.e., Krakoa, that will continue to grow as new members join.

I plan on listening again to get the fine points down.

Edit: Gillen’s voice is so sexy to me. :-x

If Firestars on the team then Spider-man team up please

So who are confirmed to be in the new team?

The podcast waffle too much and I can't seem to catch anything.

I love the idea of an alumni of this iteration of the X-Men, with perhaps a reunion every few years at the Treehouse. Which can of course get crashed by some big bad villain that requires the teamwork of all the members past and present.

So who are confirmed to be in the new team?

The podcast waffle too much and I can't seem to catch anything.

Cyclops, Jean, and Synch are confirmed to be staying on.

He called Gillens scripts graceful, as compared to his which are "awful" lol

Hellion confirmed! Thank you, Duggan.

I'm kind of iffy on this point. There will probably be 7 new members and he couldn't juggle a cast that size well enough. If the old characters come by, I don't expect much from them.
