Comic aimed at a teenage audience does not interest people over 25 years old.
Shocking.
Besides, the press release for CotA sounds far more interesting than the “X-Men, sidekick edition” pitch Robinson initially had. Mutants in a new world where they’re able to activate hep cultivate mutant culture alongside famous mutants they looked up to growing up. This may be our first look at the post-HOXPOX outside world from the mutants’ perspective.
Besides isn’t this the book all the naysayers of Krakoa want? A book where mutants protect a human world that hates and fears them?A new team of young mutant heroes have formed in the tradition of some of the original X-Men but there are many questions as to their origins and how they are related to Xavier’s greatest students. Are they clones? Are they androids? Are they from the future? As the mystery of these new heroes unfolds, you’ll see that the Children of the Atom are more than just sidekicks in the Children of the Atom #1 trailer, featuring writer Vita Ayala and Editor Chris Robinson!
The events of House of X and those in its wake have caused an unprecedented paradigm shift for mutants in the Marvel universe. Now more free to live openly without the fear of oppression, gifted youngsters from around the world are following in the X-Men’s footsteps and striving to make the world a safer place for both mutants and humans.
Oh so they are indeed mutants?
My main issue is the TikTok and Reddit stuff and I don't even know why but it kinda makes me go ugh.
I absolutely get what they are going for. And the premise is absolutely necessary for this new, young generation in terms of "relatability"...the same way the New Mutants, and Gen X were important for those new, young generations at the time/of the time.
It certainly looks great and I hope it's written very well...and while I will not be buying it, I hope it earns and keeps a place at the X-table.
