Geoffrey Thorne writing an X-Book is unexpected, but Marcus To is a huge steal.
This could be a really interesting roster. Also, Surge and Sage !
Glad to see Betsy out of the Captain Britain armor. I like Rachel's look too.

“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
A Cyclops book whose creative team matches the adjectiveless X-Men book Scott is part of; an X-Men book, whose creative team matches Uncanny X-Men's, a book labelled "Young X", which turned out to be Exceptional X-Men; Wolverine by Saladin Ahmed and Greg Capullo; a book called Sentinels (which was assumed to be X-Factor, now more likely to be NYX); a book featuring Mystique (which was expected to be X-Force, but now only X-Factor would fit), and Phoenix by Stephanie Phillips.

So this is the new X-Force. I will definitely give it a chance as I like most of the cast except for Deadpool, but it seems he is just a guest for the first arc/mission. It seems that all titles will feature at least a brand new character, which I am very meh about considering the amount of mutants available already. Plus the new tank on the team is literally called Tank, I guess Strong Guy was busy.
Assuming that we’re getting the Phoenix creative team announcement today, who are people predicting/hoping? Thorne on X-Force was certainly a big surprise for me, so I don’t think we can/should assume it’s Stephanie Phillips on Phoenix necessarily based on the leaked list.
they announced phoenix.

Not feeling this. The cover looks nice, but it seems like they're using that terrible design from that other cover.
And the writer doesn't fill me with hope. I've never been impressed by anything she's written. Hopefully this will be better, but I'd rather have Jean on UXM written by Gail Simone.
Well, add one more to the list that was at least partially correct.
Wondering if this means that X-Factor is illustrated by Declan Shalvey (Or possibly written by? Or both? I think he’s also a writer?) and Mystique is involved in it. Hmm… if so, wonder if this is where Bishop and/or Cable may end up since neither was in X-Force?
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
If we are getting anything like the work she did on Rogue&Gambit or from what I have heard on CoC then I offer my condolences to Jean fans. That was a punishment to read and very badly researched and executed. The good things are that neither of them are mentioned in the article and considering it’s an X-men article you think they would mention R&G. So hopefully we get a much better version of Stephanie Phillips on this book.
