Free comic book day 2023: Avengers/x-men #1

[Diammandis]

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1 features a pair of all-new stories that set the stage for the next evolution in mutant adventures, FALL OF X, and introduces an uncanny new lineup for a new team book launching next year. Plus, a preview of Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti’s upcoming mystery project.

[Diammandis]

Looks like we’re getting a new Unity Squad next year or an Uncanny book…placing my bets on the former

[gonnagiveittoya]

Hoping for Unity Squad. That could be very very fun.

So who's the new Captain Krakoa you think?

Edit: wait, this is for May? Are they doing solicits that early?

[Kurolegacy]

Oh hey, someone finally remembered Pietro exists. Welcome back to the X-books.

Hoping for Unity Squad. That could be very very fun.

So who's the new Captain Krakoa you think?

My theory is Hellion. Look at the previous members for a hint - they're all connected to him in some way.

Rogue: She bitched at him for kicking Karima's ass and saving all their lives.
Deadpool: His uniform is primarily red and black.
Captain America: Hellion is like the Captain America of mutants, especially if he becomes Captain Krakoa. Also, he can marry Emma and become Hellion's step-mentor.
Psylocke: He thought her body was hot.
Quicksilver and Monet: They have similar attitude problems to Hellion.

Uncanny Vengers!!!

Always glad to see Monet getting a push.

[Dante Milton]

It's good to see Monet, hopefully she is actually in the issue. I also wouldn't mind her being in a potential unity squad, although I don't know that it would be in character for her to want to be part of it.

Happy to see Quicksilver as well, though I prefer him in blue rather than green.

I hope Captain Krakoa is someone other than Scott.

I'm not conceptually opposed to a unity squad book, but there are so few Avengers characters that I care about and Cap'n 'Merica isn't one of them.

[Steroid]

Looks like they are bringing back the Unity Squad. I'll reserve judgement until we learn more or at least find out who the creative team is.

As soon as I saw Captain Krakoa I thought Hellion.

Definitely feels like a Unity Squad situation we got here and I'm all for it. I like the lineup if this is indeed it.

[gonnagiveittoya]

I suppose if you're doing a unity team having Captain America AND Krakoa on it would be symbolic of that. Even though one of them is literally just a disguise.

[Steroid]

if this is indeed the lineup it's going to be a uphill battle getting me interested in this book.

[scouse mouse]

I like it. If she is resurrected in time they should stick Sersi on this team as well.

[gonnagiveittoya]

Actually speaking of Judgement Day...a mutant/Avengers team with access to the protocols via Phoenix Foundation would be a good way for that to matter in a story capacity going forward

[Exodus]

for a unity squad it is missing some (human) avengers...

I also just realized I do not like M as Penance. I think they should have brought a new Penance back and leave M's powers how they are.
