I'm hoping this isn't true, but if it is then I have a good reason to stop buying comics altogether.
Of course. I expect every poster here to know that Cyclops is the one orchestrating this X-men removal, so that a few months later, he is the only surviving X-men. All the whining of Cyclops' rise being on the backs of characters like Jean, Xavier and Storm will finally be rendered fully true, with said character to blame. Not the writers, not the fans, he, Scott Summers, fictional character and the Real X-man (Almost died laffing typing this >: D )
But being serious:
This would be the silver lining.

Wow, even if this is fake, it sounds exactly like the kind of ending Marvel would pull to end the X-Men. Not surprised in the least, and nor will I be surprised if this rumor is false. Either situation sounds 100% plausible. Saddest part is I am not all the emotionally affected by this possible/inevitable ending to the X-Men franchise. The fun has been dead for some time and I seriously cannot muster up enough emotional investment to care.
Holy crap that is insane if this is true. I don't think it is but I definitely will have my eyes glued with these next couple of issues coming up.
At least they'll finally get what they've wanted for years. The Avengers outselling The X-Men. Granted, that's because there won't be any more X-Men comics, but lbr, that was the only way it was ever going to happen.
Hopefully Scott gets to murder some Avengers before Axis is over, at least.
I wish I care enough about the X-Men to care about this. But sadly the franchise, sans movies recently, have dropped in quality so cancelling it is a mercy kill to me.
Oh, I'm glad someone else finally corroborated on this. I'd been looking for another veritable source for this information.
I guess Marvel decided they didn't really want any books with minorities or women. Especially a combination of the two. I suppose on a positive note, I'll never have to read about that Haüsfrau Jean Grey again.

/SIGH
And here I was, wondering when the hell Emma would be written properly again. Bah!
Anyway. If this were true, I do hope they at least let All New X-Factor run its course and not cancel it midway or what.
this is horrifying and if it happens i will stop my purchases with marvel altogether.
