Those boys probably aren't going to end up as a couple. Prodigy already has a boyfriend, he's been dating Speed since he was a Young Avenger and that relationship was still intact in the Krakoa era books.

Yeah, Kamala fans will complain when Bruno doesn't show up, Laura fans will have the same complaint about Gabby, and Sophie might generate similar complaints as it isn't normal for one Cuckoo to appear alone. Prodigy fans will want to see Speed, and Anole has always been a background character, cool visual but isn't a sales driver. But please judge it on the content once we actually get at least a preview, and not just on a synopsis and cover. They might surprise us!

I'm not knocking because I want it to fail. I love Academy-X and I want this to work and sell a million copies and lead to a resurgence of these X-Kids getting love. I'm just pointing out a very unpopular truth amongst the portion of the fanbase that remains from 20 years ago when these kids debuted...nothing in this announcement speaks to increasing readership past a very small niche. And that hurts all of our goal of getting the X-Kids back on the page.
I'm not totally useless. I can always be used as a bad example...
It's a young X-Men book with one of the most popular young X-Men and one of Marvel's most popular young characters period headlining it. That's the in for more casual readers. Everything else is down to how well the creative team handles their cast. If this flops, that's probably the X-Office's signal to stop trying to do kid teams altogether.
I want Hellion to be that guy who couch surfs between the 5 main leads apartments until something happens and he becomes rich and then flies back to LA, buys his own mansion and starts the NYX spin off called LAX
The cover will be Hellion, Mercury, Loa, Bling! & Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider in front of an In n Out or the LAX sign at the Airport
Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.
Really? Kamala couldn't sell a TV show, she couldn't sell a movie, and from what little I've seen in either direction her book sold middling to below average at best. Seriously, the best I've heard about her book is no one talked about it at all past a few paid shills in comic media. It seems Marvel as a whole just doesn't know what the hell to do with her, but they've invested so much in her push that they won't give up now. Everyone has to suffer...
And Laura has been written terribly for years. No one liked her (non-)portrayal during Krakoa.
Neither of them is a real draw to anyone but the small audience they already had. But the others are even worse, as I said. And don't take my word for it. A bunch of the people here who love Academy X/New X-Men have no interest in it. That should tell you all you need to know...
Excellent idea. And did you drop you Tumbler? I checked the link and it said it was gone. (That would be sad. There was so much cool old stuff on there.)

It's definitely between the two of them w/ Pixie in 3rd place. I wanna say Anole's shown up more consistently (he even had a role in the IvX era when lots of characters were MIA), but Prodigy has more impactful roles whenever he does show up. Rockslide was also up there before he got turned into Wrongslide.
Yeah, really not sure what the goal was... or how the X-office measured success... or maybe just some writer's pet idea? 'cause she came around in the era when "mutant" wasn't always an X-gene Mutant. There was a comic that justified Karima Shapandar's presence with the X-Men by calling her a "mutant" Sentinel. And also Ariel... who isn't even from earth! So the half-Fae thing... less weird than it sounds.
It seems Hellion is appearing in issue #1 of NYX.
Insert a request for Hellion, Skids, Jessie Bedlam, or Siryn here as underused characters with buckets of potential
