RUMOR: Gillen to relaunch Uncanny X-Men in Dec/Jan

....Oh GAWDFUCKINGNO!!!!

De, you've been punchy lately, lol. Imagine if they allowed Claremont to use Moira to reset everything back to the 1970s.

....Oh GAWDFUCKINGNO!!!!

there was that short stint where he returned.

I mean for this anniversary I can imagine him coming back for a 12 issue arc to end his say on the team with a bang.

I would be here for it, to be perfectly fair.

[Devaishwarya]

Then it would my que to retire from reading the X-books. There's no going back/living in the past for me. At this point Claremont has lost all touch with the current times and would be an even worse choice than Gillenister.

[Quill-Han-Vos]

I know it will never happen (with all the inevitable complaints about not enough diversity, women, representation etc etc etc) but...It would be an absolute hoot if...they actually relaunched UXM 2024 with the same ANAD team: Storm, Wolverine, Banshee, Sunfire, Thunderbird, Colossus and Nightcrawler.

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Giant-Size in 2025.

Ugh if they give Uncanny to anyone I really feel it should be Ewing. Gillen not only got to write Uncanny in the past, but also has got to “lead” the line for pretty much all of Destiny of X.

Agreed. But that room has long been an echo chamber, so why reward your most talented writer, let alone diversify anything.

Gotta agree. I'm fine with Claremont doing some stuff set in the past -- if it didn't screw the present up -- but I don't want him on the new books.

I'm fine with Gillen on Uncanny as long as he leaves Sinister behind. I liked his Journey Into Mystery and New Mutants work.

[ZephyrSurf]

Except Immortal Hulk.

That well known mutant, Bruce Banner

[OG Storm]

Yeah, if Gillen got Uncanny, I'd puke.

It's Ewing's by divine mandate.

By rite of conquest.

It's time to riot. Give this to Ewing, he's the better writer.

....! you made me LOL so hard, I not only spit out my d'iced tea lemone but also my Cantucci!

I prefer Lord Claremont's Sinister circa Inferno to Gillen's mess. And while he's certainly of an older generation and somewhat set in his ways, the recent X-Treme mini with Larroca was not bad. While I would prefer to see Ewing get a shot on Uncanny, one more run by Claremont wouldn't be the end of the world.

No Ewing, no Peace!

No more Gillen! No more Gillen! No more Gillen!

[Uncanny X-Man]

LOL Claremont would have the last laugh. **** DeFalco, Harras, Quesada and everyone else, erase them all out of existence Chris!

[jwatson]

This is a little crazy to hear because based on some of the upcoming Fall of X shifts I heard about a few weeks back, I suspected this exact thing would happen, i.e., Gillen relaunching Uncanny X-Men. Now, let's see if the rest of my prediction comes true: Jean leads this.

Listen to the first minute of this review:

I'm out on this. This is going to have to be one heck of a pitch and team for me to be interested.

Well, I believe there's a possibility of a fair bit of this. Nightcrawler’s hiding out as Spider-Man, Logan's going to be off on his own, Colossus will be found to be working for his brother and Banshee is, apparently, broken again and dreaming of vengeance. So, at least some of them bear watching.

I was 100% onboard with Gillen's Sinister (which I loved equally to Lord Claremont's) until they did the heart-spade-club variants of the same character.
