AIPT teases "NEW December X-Book"!

[jwatson]

Aside from Greg land this sounds good.

No offense to the artist or writer but this concept is trash. I'm so done with the 05

[Alex_Of_X]

righto, silver-lining: marvel going this hard on the nostalgia wave is counter-programming to the genuinely "out there" stuff to come with Ultimate comics, GODS and New X-Men

right? Riiiiight?

[Gray Lensman]

Is Marvel so hard up for artists they have to keep relying on Land to churn stuff out?

Why not give Todd Nauck work? Or Paul Pelletier? Or anyone else?

Land is, if nothing else, consistently on time. Plus, his art looks good to the uninformed reader - at least if they haven't seen a lot of his other stuff yet.

You didn't think we'd go through the 60th anniversary without at least 1 O5 story, did you?

[nx01a]

I might be interested if Land wasn't the artist. The literal same faces and poses from the past 20 years are recycled here yet again.

I say this as a lapsed Cyclops fan: we're really doing this again?

Lapsed? What happened?

But the artists I mention can churn out monthly books too.

They got Stegman for the covers, why couldn't he do interiors instead.

Theoretically a one shot shouldn't have the issue of timing, but who knows.

This cover is great! I'm stoked about the re-emergence of the O5. Too bad only one will be staying! I really think it's going to be Beast but I suppose it could be Jean since this is being kicked off by her current FoX book. This has me really excited for next year! I knew the repercussions of Jean Grey's current book would be felt for some time. I had no idea it was going to lead to a whole new ongoing. Awesomeness!

I love the O5 and what Bendis did with them. Just like I love Kid Cable. They should all team up for an adventure.

Duggan X-Men was not my cup of tea and I've been off the xbooks for a minute. Now I'm chillin in CotV and XMRed.

[Havok83]

LOL...it was only a matter of time before Land returned. He's drawn a book in almost every era from the past 20 years except the current Krakoa one. Such an odd book to give him though. One focusing on teens when he draws characters so sexuallized and mature

[Frobisher]

Does anyone actually care about the Original Five?

Yes. Plenty of people. Jean, Cyclops and Iceman are among the most popular X-men and Beast used to be before his recent character assassination

Stegman's the kind of artist you're lucky to get interiors from, let alone a full run.

And I'd bet it's young Beast who gets stuck in the present.
