*RUMOUR* Who might be the X-Men writer post-Secret Wars.

[JaggedFel]

When do people expect we would hear confirmation on something like this? I don't normally pay such close attention to these things so I don't know what the time tables are usually like.

oh that is easy SDCC, Marvel has to announce their 60 Books at some point

[JaggedFel]

Milligan's run was far superior to Lemire's Constantine solo masquerading as a team book.

Perfect Fit then isnt he, god knows most x-books have been solos masquerading as team books for a long time. Scott and Logan being prime culprits

[petrefax]

Lemire seems to do better on solo books than team books but I enjoyed his Animal Man run, Descender, and the three issues he's done on Hawkeye so far. I think it's an inspired choice as he's full of ideas and Im willing to give him a chance.

For the record I preferred Pete Milligans run on Justice League Dark. It was one of the few DC books I enjoyed.

He gets the idea of kids ans outcasts, and he can start purging the ones he doesn't like. I just hope he doesn't turn the NXM kids into psychos for hire

KYost purged kids, tho lol. I mean we gotta have some non-Hellion, Mercury, Dust and Anole deaths, right? Otherwise, there's no tension.

Besides, even when Remender kills a character, it's not like he doesn't give them their time to shine, nor do they not go out in a blaze of glory.

Also, to go with him understanding the outcast theme, he also REALLY knows how to right teenagers, and young adults. Sure he'd have to clean up the language a bit, but he'd be going in.

I don't just wanna know the 'head' writer. I wanna know all the X-Plane writers. There's bound to be multiple books with x-men, in the title

[Master of Sound]

I wouldn't mind seeing Kyle & Yost, D&A and Mike Carey back on the X-books

[The Fury]

I wouldn't mind seeing Kyle & Yost, D&A and Mike Carey back on the X-books

D&A?


Mike Carey was great but don't think that will happen, not sure who the new writers will be. A dream one would be BKV but knowing our luck it'll be Hickman.

[Master of Sound]

D&A?

D&A= Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning

[Anduinel]

Mike Carey was great but don't think that will happen, not sure who the new writers will be.

I'll bet Carey would come back to do another GN project, but yeah, probably couldn't make room in his schedule for another monthly title. And I can't cry about that too much, since I'd rather have the next Felix Castor novel.

D&A= Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning

I heard that they'd stopped writing together. Shame.

I have total faith in RR if he gets the kids books, thanks deadly class for that, some of the best stuff I've read this year. If he's gonna purge someone he can start with Aaron WatXm cast, I'm sure not many will miss them.

Are there any real team books anywhere anymore? Even crap with big casts, everyone winds up solely existing to discuss what the main character is doing. Freaking Twitter/Instagram navel gazing generation.

[Goddess]

Lemire would do great imo.

Everyone's acting like Remender would be the end of the world, but need I remind you that his UXF was one of the best X-Books of the last decade? Along with Kieron Gillen's UXM

Yeah, but his UA proved that he completely can't handle the concept of an actual X-Men book and doesn't care to actually learn how to. X-Force dealt with something entirely different.

Remender openly dislikes the mutant minority metaphor (one of the best things about the X-men; and THE thing I personally identify with). His "Call me Alex" was steeped in ignorance, and then his reaction to actual minorities telling him why it didn't work was to lash out and call them names. Yes the first 2/3 of Uncanny X-force were near perfection, but in-charge of the X-verse? GOD NO!!!!

Not to me, and if the old CBR was around there'd be proof of that. C&C's X-Force was better. Remender is stuck in telling stories about failed 90's concepts..

[Kuwagaton]

His response was far worse than the Alex story itself, imo.
