Did you thought that ResurreXiOn was going to be a Rebirth for the X-men ?.

[Likewater]

Well, about the O5 that Claremont wrote, Jean and Scott are dead, Beast is now a traitor, and Warren is Archangel.

But they are also back, in X-men Blue.

[vasir12]

The tone of ResurreXion was far more important to me than the nitty gritty of the books. The lifting of the... cloud that's hung over the X-books for so long was the main point. So far, X-Men Blue and Jean Grey are definite reads for me.

right, done with schisms and extinction events. More heroics and adventure. THAT'S what I'm looking for.

Heroics? Adventures? Rogue and Sunspot are doing this for years.

Well, that depends if you like the time-displaced teenagers.

I like smaller stories,

How about a televised debate with Rush Limbaugh like anti mutant personality, the drama, the stakes: public opinion, the Eye s of both the mutant and human communities on character A and his or her Team. And the stress, strain and drama that produces.

The Heroics are just the garnish.

I think a lot of people's problem is that Blue team and Gold team are a nineties thing, that **** was born in the nineties. So, where's Bishop? Where's Gambit? Is Psylocke even still showing up, surely she deserves to be on a flagship, right?

But, no. Marvel is stuck in the sixties to eighties era of X-Men for whatever reason. Occasionally, characters from the 2000s will pop up, but often only because of Morrison's run and I like Morrison, he's awesome. But, they keep pushing Fantomex and they ruined him. Emma is seemingly going back to villain status, because people sometimes have trouble writing the "alpha bitch" character as a good guy. I'd say Quentin's actually improved though.

There are exceptions. The NXM crew will pop up sometimes, but Laura shows up the most. Gambit gets a lot of cameos and guest appearances and gives those titles a bump, but other than Deadpool v Gambit earlier this year, he's gotten no stories where he's a major character since January 2015.

Marvel played it too safe with these books, but they've been playing it safe for years. ResurrXion was hopefully gonna put an to that - and with titles like Iceman, Gen X, and Jean Grey they are - but, Blue and Gold are not what many people wanted.

I suppose, but what does that mean for the current X-line? Have they been on the bright and sunny lately?

[bubibartra]

Given that most people in this board is bummed out because of the announcements; im asking you if you actually thought that ResurreXiOn was going to be for the X-men what Rebirth was DC, something that's not going to happen until Disney gets the movie rights back from FOX.

I think that the problem is not the movies rights...

Alonso DEAD Tony Stark... Tony stark... The golden boy of the films

The problem is alonso's obsession for the young characters...

[MyriVerse]

Well, I'm very pleased about X-Men Gold. The rest needs to burn. But the Cloud is gone, so it's better than what the books have been in a decade.

After AVX not have problem of extintio for mutants and the books were disappointing

Well, Captain Hydra disbanded the Uncanny Avengers, and the US government think that Sunspot is a terrorist.

After AVX not have problem of extintio for mutants and the books were disappointing

The Post-AvX books were Aaron, who has a burning hate against Cyclops, and Bendis.

[FlashingSabre]

I was stupidly hoping for something new and exciting; a brand new team who could tell a brand new story. Instead, we get more of the same, by writers I don't particularly like. So yeah, it probably my fauotnfor expecting something mildly original, but I'm still pretty disappointed. I figured we'd at least get something with Scott or Emma.

[Cloudman]

I just expected a thorough shake-up.

Instead it's almost the same teams and the same talent behind the books. So lame.

This is exactly how I'm feeling. Regardless of the nature of the relaunch, I was expecting some serious changes. Thus far the teams look basically the same, and there's a few solo books that won't last very long. If Weapon X doesn't have a good premise and solid creative team, I may end up pulling no X-titles at all.

[Tayne Japal]

I didn't have any high nor low expectations. I just wanted to see what the new books and teams were. So far I'm committing to X-Men Gold and Gen X.

Perhaps Bishop and Gambit and Psylocke and Archangel and a number of other darker favourites will appear in Weapon X. We'll find out tomorrow plus the Cable info. Do they deserve to be in the flagship title? Certainly! Will I be happy seeing them used effectively in a 'satellite' title? Definitely!
