Bleeding Cool publishes a list of reported upcoming X-Titles

[sunofdarkchild]

I'm on pins and needles on the Magik rumors. Between Brevoot's known hatred for the character and the separate rumors they're turning her into a villain, there's a lot of reason to worry.

[skyvolt2000]

Perhaps they are doing these many solos is for them to be introduced in the MCU. Brevoort knows it's ways.

Looking at those solos

Cyclops by Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman
Phoenix by Stephanie Phillips
Wolverine by Saladin Ahmed and Greg Capullo
Mystique by Declan Shalvey

You would looking at volume

Cyclops 4
Jean Grey 3
Wolverine 8
Mystique 2

Lets give them (not include Logan) all 12 issues- Jean would be near 50, Mystique around 30ish and Scott near 25.

So I could go with that. However the list looks questionable and fake.

If I am doing a relaunch.

New Mutants
X-Factor
X-Force
Uncanny X-Men
X-Men
Deadpool
Wolverine
Gen X
New X-Men Academy
Excalibur

These are NON-negotiables.
These are the books that gave you your FANS.

These at least give you an idea who could be in the casts. That other list does not.

It just says guys like Hellion and Synch are NOT in the plans.

[Braxxer]

Curious about Sentinels.

Young X is a terrible title for a book. I wonder if this might be the Shadowkat / White Queen book.

Also said this in the Phoenix thread, but while it's safe to assume that's a solo Jean book, I wonder if it will include other Phoenix avatars like Hope and Rachel...

I heard about phoenix book about 2 months ago and jean wasn’t mentioned but someone else

[Souther]

I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt, because plans might have changed and rumors mixed with facts are not great for analysis.

[Triniking1234]

3(?) team books and 4 solos sound crazy. I don't believe it.

Well there is a Deadpool book coming from the guy writing Miles Morales but it's not tied to the X-Men relaunch.

I'm trying to imagine a Bendis-written Deadpool book and it scares me. So many philacteries.

[DarkMagnus]

Hope they dont try to transform a Team Book franchise in a solo book franchise.

The X-men are a team - a family the Avengers are co workers.

That whys there isnt a "Secret Avengers" "Dark Avengers" "Avengers Academy" "Avengers Team up" book.


You can try to establish some solo books. but not all Mutants can sell up to 50 issues

[Arachne]

I agree. The only way I can see it being real is if they're introductory one-shots coming out the first month. Even then I think it's unlikely.

[M@Bowers2014]

Which will be the fastest way to make sure I don't buy a Phoenix ongoing. What is with Marvel and making everyone but Jean the Phoenix? I know, I know, it's just a rumor.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I have a soft spot for the young mutant groups so I'm curious about Young X.

I’m still adamant about Bonita Juarez being the one and only Phoenix.

Who? Hope?

[M@Bowers2014]

I’m still adamant about Bonita Juarez being the one and only Phoenix.

Huh? Did I miss a story connecting Firebird to the Phoenix force or is just something that you'd like to see happen?

[Wally West]

I see a lot of people being dismissive of this list because of no uncanny or X-force. Were there strong rumors that those titles would be part of this relaunch?

Honestly at this point I feel Uncanny should stay in the past as it’s so heavily associated with the Claremont era of the 70s/80s. In modern times every new direction had a new book title Jim Lee X-Men, Grant Morrison New X-Men, Whedon Astonishing, etc.

I also think if they want to go “back to basics” they should just set the comic in the 90s so it doesn’t interfere with the Krakoa stuff. The marvel Star Wars comics are set between movies in the trilogy and that has been pretty lucrative for them.

We don’t even know if they’re finale titles. They could be just project titles
