    If Ewing leaves, I think I'll take a break from X Books.
    Al Ewing made Storm great again! Storm greatest challenge might not be a matter of destruction, but creation.

    Exciting possible news in bold.

    At least from the little sales information we're able to get, and the Marvel app for digital, AXE issues have been towards the top of the heap.

    I've been wondering what would be happening with the Avengers when Aaron leaves soon. To lose Ewing to the Avengers would be heartbreaking. Everyone should be buying X-Men Red IMO. I've started pre-ordering the floppies as Jordan suggested, the only series I'm buying physical.

    Looking forward to the new writer(s) coming onboard. Hopefully Breevort doesn’t jack Ewing for the Avengers, though. My guess is we will get a more traditional lineup book with the core X-men characters all together in it (Scott, Jean, Ororo, Logan, etc.) under one of these big name writers. Next year is the 60th anniversary of the X-men after all, plus the X-men ‘97 cartoon debuts too.

    Good question. I don't venture too far out of the X-line so anyone have any guesses/wishes?

    My guess would be probably Zdarsky & Cates. My wish would be Jed Mackay and Ram V.

    RamV would be awesome. MacKay's stuff ive never read but you guys are hyping him up to the point where I want to read his stuff. Ill look it up on Marvel Unlimited.

    If they want a writer for Avengers they can take Gillenister. He's the architect of their Summer block-buster AXE event, he deserves a high-profile book like the Avengers.

    How anybody could believe that X-Men vs. Eternals would be an interesting story to tell that will sell is beyond me...

    So, they basically forced Hickman to leave because they wanted to keep the Krakoa set up for longer because it sold well, now they're complaining it's not selling as well as they want without him around?

    I have this awesome habit of reading way too much into things but in the recent Duggan-focused XMM, Hassan wrote,

    "Exactly one year ago, I was putting together X-Men Monday #125, featuring Jonathan Hickman. As it was the former Head of X’s final X-Men Monday interview (for now)... I wanted to make sure he received a proper XMM sendoff."

    So my brain said considering Hassan has direct access to Jordan and the X-Slack, was he telling us something? Why put that in there? We know the X-Slack is taking the scenic route but they're still following Hickman's overall roadmap. Maybe, just maybe, he'll come back. He always spoke highly of the X-Slack writers and they always seemed to have a good time collaborating. If the detour isn't working to corporate's satisfaction, well then steer this bad boy back on track.

    I was super excited about it at the start, a huge three way battle between the groups. But then it quickly shifted into everyone vs a single celestial judgement. But let’s see how this ends.

    Because the Eternals are notoriously seen as among the most powerful beings on the planet, specifically Sersi, Ikaris, Zuras, Thena, Ajak, Makkari, Thanos, and Uranos.

    Needless to say, only two of those lot were actually in the war. I still think the event is incredible, but different strokes for different folks and all that.

    Welp, some Hickman news just came in at NYCC but about his secret project with Valerio Schiti.

    The best the xbooks have been in years and the avengers office wants to strip-mine the X-men to make their “franchise” suckage more palatable again?

    I’ve overlooked the echo-as-phoenix thing and anything Bendis did. No more.
