Panelists include Gail Simone and Jed MacKay.
I figured I'd start a new thread so we can post and discuss the news as it comes out next Thursday. Hoping for lots of teaser images!

Yeah I don't think Jed's presence is a coincidence after all. My money's on him being the new Wolverine writer but he's commercially successful and talented enough to also pen a new Uncanny X-Men/X-Men book. I can't wait to find out but between Simone and MacKay I'm starting to get pretty eXcited.

Is Jed McKay doing good on the team book?
I know for sure everyone is loving Moon Knight and Dr. Strange. IDK what else he did though.
I would lower expectations about what will be revealed. These types of panels usually just discuss things that are already solicited or early solicits. McKay might be involved with something ongoing but his presence here will probably be talking about a transition period mini which I would guess to be a solo book for one of the X-Women.
I love all of Mackay's books so I'm definitely excited for this panel.

I'm enjoying his Avengers. I wouldn't necessarily want the X-Men to be written in that style (think Warren Ellis' The Authority) but he certainly has a good handle on his cast and has proved to be pretty good at creating new villains. His latest issue featuring "a day in the life" was brilliant and a much-needed break of the "all action" style of the first arc. His Timeless one-shot that basically served as a prelude to his Avengers run was also fantastic.
I remember Jed McKay saying last year he disliked how Beast has been written and wanted to write him next because he should always be a hero. Maybe he's getting his chance?

I would love to be wrong but this kind of news just does not break at cons anymore. Websites don't even bother to do live blogs and it is almost as rare to get any actual report of the panel. Marvel will just blast the usual media channels with the news anyway. It is also fishy that this panel is being done jointly with VeVe. I hope you are looking forward to what is new for NFTs.
His Moon Knight run relaunched in January as Vengeance of the Moon Knight. The omnibus is of his first volume because it is completed so that doesn't mean he's dropping Moon Knight especially with it being his most successful series. I would guess it will be Doctor Strange that he drops.
