Joe West: You mentioned last week that we’ll be seeing more solo books than ever before in this new X-Men era? How will it be decided who gets these solos? Will it be based on who had successful solos in the past or will more risks be taken for characters who haven’t gotten that spotlight yet?
Tom: This is going to sound a little bit arrogant or self-aggrandizing I’m sure, Joe—but I’m going to decide. And it’ll be based on a number of factors, including which characters seem to have the best chance of selling a solo project, what creators want to tell stories about what characters, and what ideas for approaches for solo concepts come up, whether from me and the other X-Editors or else the talent pool as a whole.
Leigh Hunt: Curious to know how far ahead you are in your X-planning? Of course things can change especially after the books start coming out and critical reaction will affect things but as of right now, where are your concrete and not-so concrete plans up to for the X-books?
Tom: As you’d expect, it varies from title to title, Leigh. But for the three books with X-MEN in the title, I’d say that we’re pretty solid through the end of the year and
our first tiny little crossover moment. And from there, as we get into 2025, we’re talking about a storyline for around March, a
special project for May, potentially a key one-shot for June and a
big X-line Event around October. But all of that is subject to change as conditions on the ground shift in real time.
Carlos: Execptional X-men is about Kitty in centric role besides Emmma and the new mutatans or is about Emma in centric role besides Kitty and the new Mutants?
Tom: It’s a team book, Carlos, so I suspect the answer depends on which character you ask.
There's also an interesting question about Xavier but it's kinda long and I didn't know where to chop it. Check it out!
