February 2024 X-books Solicitations

[JB]

Well, Marvel has released their February X-book solicitations early so might as well start the thread! Probably because next Thursday is Thanksgiving so smart move on their end. (Only ones missing seem to be Wolverine so I'll update the thread once they are released.)

THE IMPOSSIBLE TEAM ON AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST!

The Dead X-Men leap across time and space in a last-ditch effort to prevent catastrophe, but they’re not the only ones breaking through the fabric of reality!

THE KEY – THE SECRET!

In the depths, Magneto was given a key by strange forces – and impossibly, he holds it still. Now, in death, Max Eisenhardt judges his own life – and counts the cost. Should he return to the world? Can he allow Storm to bring him back? And what does the Deep Key unlock?

X-Men #31

Written by GERRY DUGGAN
Art by PHIL NOTO

THE ULTIMATE MUTANT HUNTER!

The X-Men lived in fear of Nimrod’s creation, and now it’s clear why! The ultimate weapon of mutant extinction is ever-adapting, ever-evolving, with only one goal – DEATH TO MUTANTKIND!

I wonder when the New X-men book is starting and whatever second Steve Foxe book is. If not the Foxe book is an unlimited arc that is to say.

X-men Forever?

X-men Forever?

X-Men: Forever starts in late March and is going through June so I'm thinking that could be when Foxe's second book and New X-Men start (if they're not the same title). Foxe keeps reiterating "spring" in interviews.

Hmm... my thoughts...

- Fall of the House of X #2 and Rise of the Powers of X #2 both look awesome. Looking forward to them.
- Nathan looks like an absolute brick $#!thouse on that Cable #2 cover, and I love the fact that he's fighting some non-X-character villains again too (nice job, Fabian!). Kid Cable turned to stone and broken is the chef's kiss for me too, even though I know it's just a cover. Look forward to him shunting off to the future again after this series, so there's only one "Cable Prime" running around in the present day and it's the OG grown ass man version.
- Dead X-men #2 looks solid. Love Dazzler's look there. I still ship her and Cable. Hope it happens. Regardless, buying this one.
- X-Force #49 and X-men #31 both look good. So happy for Mungho getting his prayers answered. Classic Beast is back, baby. Oh, and I find it interesting that Logan is in his old yellow and blue costume on both covers... for that MCU synergy I suppose.

Good stuff.

That Cassara nimrod cover is so fun!

X-Force #49

Laura's expression is my favorite.

[Rift]

No one can tell me there's justice in the world when Hellion isn't in a book, but Quentin Creeper is. I know being written by Percy is more of a punishment, but it's still not fair.

[IN-a-Synch]

I hope cable gets a ongoing with Fabian and bring back Ian Churchill. I always thought he drew Cable the best.

[Kingdom X]

First month in a while I’m actually pretty excited about! Initial thoughts:

1. Excited for Lorna to return in a big way.
2. Folks were speculating that demonic Kate was Rasputin last month, but it seems like Rasputin is still around and doing her own thing in this timeline.
3. I’m gonna wait for word of mouth about Cable. Plot just seems pretty disconnected and I’m sad they haven’t announced anything for Camp yet.
4. I can already tell Dead X-Men is gonna be a fave for me.
5. I can’t believe they actually circled back to the Key plot from Giant Size Magneto! In Ewing we trust.
6. They actually pulled the trigger and brought back Avengers Beast… maybe I should check out the final issues of X-Force.
7. Still over Duggan’s X-Men, unless the quality drastically changes.
8. Where is the New X-Men announcement?!?

Yeees. I'm a sucker for uniforms. Love how tall Frenzy is depicted.

This post is good and I fully endorse it. If not Fabian, let Deniz Camp do it. Or put him on X-Force.

While it is disconnected, KingdomX, or at least feels that way, from the broader FotHX/RotPX event -- and I'm a bit dismayed by that too -- the art looks awesome so far from what Fabian has posted on X. Plus it's Fabian Nicieza! The guy has written more Cable than anyone alive, and it's sure to be a fun book. Buy it for me if for no other reason!

I love uniforms.
