Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
I genuinely don’t see this book team selling…
Wolverine’s reputation isn’t what it used to be, and I can’t believe he’ll carry this team of b- and c- listers very far. This mix-up might be fun for the writers, but I’m not sure it will be fun for their sales. Shadowcat and Juggernaut being completely unrecognizable also won’t help… and the Synch and Talon relationship - it just isn’t… …isn’t… fun? It’s just these two tragic people forced together under tragic circumstances, and I feel sad every time I see them together.
Queen of Mutants, Mistress of Magnetism, Magnetrix and the MII, Pestilence of the Horsemen of Apocalypse, the Krakoan Oracle and creator of the Sanctus Sacrum Tournament Key, the Threshold Seed Shaper, Brood Queen of the Fall of the House of X, Lorna Sally Dane, Ph.D., of the House of M, Polaris of the X-Men
"She never loved you, you know you always frightened her"- Cyclops
"And if she was here right now....Who do you think she would be more frightened of?"- Wolverine
People continue t say that's the team. There is not prove Talon and Synch are on the title, or if it is the actual team on the covers.

Cool! Duggan has teased he wants to pick up the Kate\Reed Richards stuff from Zdarski's mini. Makes sense to Loop in Doom and the Latverian Mutants
"An X-team with Kamala, Juggernaut and Firestar" is a phrase designed to instantly kill a Victorian child. The marvel madlads have done it again; No choice but to stan.
As opposed to… Scott and Jean carrying a team of Synch, Forge, Firestar, Iceman, Talon… which is what the team is currently. And we don’t even know for sure who else is on this team besides Logan, Kamala Kahn, Kitty, Juggernaut and Firestar. Personally I find it an improvement so far, though.
Same. And I’m here for it!
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Arguably, Scott and Jean have a higher X-rep than Wolverine right now.
And Jean, Scott, and Iceman carrying less recognizable Forge, Firestar, Synch, and Talon vs Wolverine carry a bunch of “Wait, who’s that?!”s, yeah. I think big fans will be fine, at the cost of a lot of casual readers. My opinion isn’t that it’s going to suck or anything, I just worry about the success of an X-Title without more recognizable faces.
Though I stand by my sentiments about the sad, sad Synch-Talon relationship.
Queen of Mutants, Mistress of Magnetism, Magnetrix and the MII, Pestilence of the Horsemen of Apocalypse, the Krakoan Oracle and creator of the Sanctus Sacrum Tournament Key, the Threshold Seed Shaper, Brood Queen of the Fall of the House of X, Lorna Sally Dane, Ph.D., of the House of M, Polaris of the X-Men
“Arguably” is the correct term there I think, and Ms. Marvel is pretty darn well known from her Disney+ show, and is about to be even more so with The Marvels/Capt Marvel 3 coming out. Also, Juggernaut is well known too. Finally, Synch-Talon are already part of the current team. So assuming they’re on the new one too, I’d say that’s a wash.
But it’s cool to think whatever you want. We can just agree to disagree and see how the numbers come out.
