"Kids don't care **** about superhero comic books. And if they do, they probably start with manga, with One Punch-Man or My Hero Academia. " -ImOctavius.
I wish they’d release high quality character design sheets for all the new books, including X-force and NYX.
It’s hard to get a good look from one cover.
Jed McKay probably has a Glob cameo going by his Twitter.
Come to think of it. How many mysteries were that again?
The X-office and writing staff at the time, including Claremont himself, seem to quickly disregard it when Revolution failed as a direction and everything became focused on the what their new "rockstar" writer was spearheading.
Said direction then changed so much about the X-men in general anyway, that they likely treated it as a hard cut between the "silly late 90's" and the "cool new 2000's". Especially when Jemas and co. were trying to finaly get that sweet sweet movie synergy into the comics.
As such it seems everyone silently agreed to just write off everything about Revolution and throw it in the bin with most consideration for the late 90's stories and events.
Also to be fair, Revolution was nowhere near as convoluted and radical as a new direction/status quo as Hickman's mess was, so there is likely little demand to have the comparably "tame" mysteries explained.
Though given how much the Krakoa era lost it's luster over time and now arguably ends in a whimper, it's possible that future writers might not want to pick up and explain the off pannel changes which occured during it's time skip either.

Just caught up on the reveals and man, this is underwhelming.
I know Krakoa wasn't for everyone, but after that period of creativity and evolution this seems like being a step backwards.
I hope I'm wrong, and that there's a real hook to this era. Nothing so far is enticing me to read from day one though.
