X-News on 3/14: 'The Future of Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Digital Comics' Panel

[Nasty_Boys]

NO Synch, No Bishop, No Dead X-Men team.

Haven't seen mentioned, and sorry if I missed them, but didn't see Colossus or Archangel/Warren.

[D.Z]

Maybe they're all dead for now.

[Frontier]

As far as looks go I’m really into the updated costumes for Jubilee, Rogue, Wolverine, Gambit, Kwannon, Cyclops, Juggernaut and Emma.

Kate (Kitty) as always has the worst uniforms and outfits.

I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes those Kitty and Emma costumes.

[Amacent]

Not sure how I feel about all of this. It could be my current lack of interest in X-Men influencing me but this news did nothing for me. I'll pick up X-Men for Cyke, Magik, and dapper Magneto and see how things go from there but so far...eh.

[mugiwara]

UXM: good creative team, but line-up from last century, not interested.

XM: Plus: MacKay, Magik and Oya. Neutral: Cain and Kwannon. Minus: the rest of the team, especially the pink haired poochie. Why do writers care so much about him?

EXM: Not interested in future limbo/redshirt material, and even less interested in Emma and Kitty drama.

Once again, the main X-Men teams are led by Not New, Not Different X-Men. The future of the X-Men look very much like the past of the X-Men.
Dani, Sam, Roberto will either be nowhere or in one of the side-teams. Or hopefully in some new Avengers book, where they may actually get some respect.

Only (maybe) good thing: the two Miss Oh-So-Perfect will hopefully be contained in their solo series.

[Andru]

Why is Cyclops 16?!

Please tell me this isn't ANXM Scott

Very neutral on these 3 reveals. They feel very safe and uninspired...really hoping I am wrong.

[MVComics]

Haven't seen mentioned, and sorry if I missed them, but didn't see Colossus or Archangel/Warren.

Greg capullo has posted a drawing of colossus a few days ago

[Master of Sound]

Not happy we get new characters in Rogue's and Kitty's team, while we have so many New Mutants, Gen X and New X-Men champs are left out.

Also no Archangel, Iceman, Havok, Polaris, Betsy, Cable, Bishop and Askani.

Also missing Arakko.

Maybe it's Ahmed and Capullo on X-Force?

A team of Archangel, Betsy, Bishop, Polaris, Havok and Iceman would be a great X-Factor IMO

[Bgred37]

This X-Factor team would be great. Dazzler would fit in well.

I’m trying to think about what we know for post Fall, and I feel like Apocalypse needs to have a strong presence on Arrako maybe as a returned to villian scenario. Maybe you have some of the players from the limited series like Dani, Cypher, Rictor, and have X-Force that counter balances them with Cable, Cannonball, Sunspot, Shatterstar. Add in some other players too, but X-Force being centric of the 90s and utilizing Apocalypse would be cool. Or even turn it on its head and let Apocalypse lead X-Force. Play on the 90s and these characters and maybe a content shifting of who’s on which side.

Yeah, those are all pretty great characters to leave on the sidelines. And aside from Bishop -- have history.

[kcekada]

I don't know who Oya/Temper is, but that's a great costume -- somewhat reminiscent of Dave Cockrum design sense.

[Agent Grayson]

I’d read the hell out of this.

[Digifiend]

No mention of Jean, Storm, Bobby, "Professor" Magneto (even though he's in the promo art) can I dare to hope that they're all part of a fourth book "The Omega Levels" overlooking all of mutants and humanity from a secret place while the X-Teams integrate into and live among human society?

Not completely sold yet on any team as it certainly looks, feels and sounds very back to basics but...I remain open. Waiting to see covers and interior previews.

And Emma's B costume is absolutely the best of the set and what she decided on isn't that great.

There's a Phoenix book, that'll be Jean's. Storm has a solo too.

NO Synch, No Bishop, No Dead X-Men team.

Jubilee's one of the Dead X-Men...

I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes those Kitty and Emma costumes.

Kitty's reminds me of her X-Men Evolution look.

I don't know who Oya/Temper is, but that's a great costume -- somewhat reminiscent of Dave Cockrum design sense.

She was in the post-Secret Wars All-New X-Men with the male members of the 05 and Laura and Kid Apocalypse. I think she's originally from Wolverine and the X-Men?
