UXM was selling more than any book at Marvel, and this is prior to AvX starting.

YO BOSS WRITE SOME DEATHSTROKE BROHickman said he grew up a TEEN TITANS fan, and would love to do that someday. "I love that company, and I love those books."
ooooh daddy say it louderHickman: My only rule for the vast majority of X-stuff is there's no real need to create new characters when you have 100s that are not being serviced in a way that makes everyone happy. My mandate, my idea behind what we are doing is that we go back and fix what's broken, tell forward-looking stories about a lot of characters- many which you haven't seen in awhile
ooooh daddy please don't be fucking eternals please god"In addition to that, I'm going to be doing some other stuff at Marvel but I can't talk about it."
lmaoHickman said he got the FF gig because the Millar/Hitch run before it didn't succeed the way Marvel want it, so they gave it to him - "the new guy."
please sensei unleash your inner weeb and bring back silver samurai, scarlet samurai, and sunfireHickman: On the race, obviously we need more characters of color. The ones we do have - it's important to write them well, and make them as big as possible. There's some we're bringing back, which I hope people will be excited about.
that tracksJust found out Hickman is a cat person
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I don't know what to expect so far with the 6 titles. It's not enough revolutionary and the cast of some teams are weird(X-Calibur/X-Force). Even if X-Men seems fine to me, I don't understand where's the hype in these titles.
The plot for their stories are not enough appealing too. It's not the Big Changes that Marvel sold us these last months. In fact, it's pretty disappointing. Maybe, I expected too much for a relaunch. For me, HoX/PoX seem more interesting than the post-HoX/PoX. For a relaunch of the X-titles it sucks so bad!
Don' be wrong about my feelings and opinion, I like some stuffs I saw(I wrote about it earlier) BUT if I dug a little there's nothing new in these announcements compared to the usual announcements.
I intend to pick them all up for at least the first several issues. There is no point in complaining about something until you read it.
But, I only voted for New Mutants, Fallen Angels, and Excalibur. Those are the comics I am most looking forward to. I know that wasn't the question that the poll asked, I just wanted to give those comics some love.
X-Men is probably the title that I am looking forward to the least. I know that the comic is meant to have a rotating cast with most of the mutants present at some point, but I have a hard time getting excited about a comic that features a team made up of the Summers family as its first story.
Well disappointed reactions are to be expected but keep in mind these next 6 books are based on two 6 part miniseries that have yet to be released that's supposed to shake up the world of the X-Men for the foreseeable future so naturally the solicits are going to be as vague as possible while still trying to garner interest.

Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

Is anyone following the Hickman "Spotlight" panel? I think it's on right now (10 to 11 CA time?). My computer won't pull up the Newsarama coverage.
Real-talk: I find these time-displaced/younger "replacements" lazy writing. Basically, I see them as an excuse to write a "new" character and ensure it has a fanbase by taking the name and appearance of an established one. Why do this? Because of a lack of creativity/it's hard to write stories about the old version for reasons. Cable, to me, is a grizzled veteran super-soldier/closest approximation the X-Men have to a terminator from the future, who went thru so many classic adventures with the X-Men. WiFi is an inexperienced knock-off with a superficial resemblance. I become a fan of a character based on the history they went thru. WiFi (and BMB's original characters, the OC-5, when first introduced) haven't earned that.
I'm not sure how to explain it better, so here's the best analogy I can come up with at the moment: imagine your favorite pet that you've spent years with gets runover by truck-kun. You're torn-up, so your family buys you a pet with similar characteristics and says your pet never died because, look, it's got the same color and feel of fur. You know it's not the same one, but everyone else says it is and that you should just give it time because it'll turn into your old pet.
Granted, I will concede that it will take time to "build" this new character again. And, hey, maybe he'll have his new set of fans (as Marvel likely intends). But WiFi is not Cable and will never be Cable. He's his own character.
