With his return and post SW what status quo changes do you expect to happen? How much impact you'll think he'll have on the X-books going forward?
I'm not overly familiar with the guy, (mainly he doesn't seem to stick out to me) but he will be working closely with Daniel ketchum (editor) who is pretty familiar.
Side Note: seems like post SW OLM will be hanging around.

It sounds like Paniccia and Ketchum have "plans". Maybe we'll get more distinct books. Jean Grey will be back?
Hope they will do a great job and will take good care of the X-fransaise. Let's start being positive.

Who else is happy?

EDIT: Wait... He oversaw the dying Ultimate Universe as well as the dying Fantastic Four book? Must not give in to the CompleX!

Congrats Paniccia!
And Daniel Ketchum oh yeah!
I like Paniccia. His books in the '00s were very quirky and had some fun experiments like Incredible Hercules and the Marvel Adventures line.
And while Alonso's right that he hasn't edited 616 X-Men, Paniccia had kind of a shadow X-Men line of his own going on in the '00s. He had the X-Men: First Class books as well as X-Men Forever and its spinoffs.
I really liked X-Men: First Class so I hope he gets Jeff Parker to do something. And he's worked a lot with Claremont, so while it's unlikely Claremont will get a big book, giving him something that's suited to his style would be nice.
Can you point to me the exact place they said, in words, that OML is hanging around afterwards? Most I saw was:
Which requires a LOT of straw-grasping considering they're only talking about the OML miniseries and don't say a word about post-SW.And it's the return of Wolverine! Of sorts.
Alonso: Exactly. Start measuring him for Spandex.
