I hope Beta Ray Bill joins later down the line.

Patiently waiting for X-Books to be rebooted later this year
The lineup looks fun to me. I've not read Bunn's work, so the criticism makes me a little hesitant, but I'm going to give it a go.
Immediate criticisms:
- Angela seems to be in the classic garb. Honestly would have rather seen her in her Angel Armor, I thought it made for a good re-envisioning for her.
- Was hoping for Thor, I can do without. But can ew at least have Sera narrate? Seriously, this team lineup has more than a little potential whimsey, and Sera could soooooo deliver.
- The Destroyer seems a bit … overkill. Maybe a surprise guest inside?
- A mini? Why do you hate me, Marvel?

what's up with the goggles? just wondering.
is the mace shaped a little different?
I'm still thrown that a sliver of mjolnir can morph a frog into a mini-Thor- oh well. comics.
Valkyrie. Ah- how strong is she now?
How does Angela feel about asgardians in general now? whats her take on Jane Foster?
Presumably, Kevin thinks they look cool.
Probably. Artistic license.
I love superhero comics.
Very. Not as strong as Thor, but she's an Asgardian, so she can throw cars. And I'm pretty sure she is considered strong even by Asgardian standards, and a particularly skilled warrior.
She doesn't particularly care one way or the other about Asgardians, and she didn't have much of a take on Jane Foster. She respected Jane as Thor, as much as she can respect anyone, but still didn't really care.
Well, that didn't bother me either? The Warriors Three are kinda gimmicky. I prefer Angela, Balder, Sif, Heimdall & Valkyrie.
As for Destroyer, I still have fond memories of when it was still a legitimate threat.
Mhm. Sera's spirit being housed in the Destroyer would be a great story, especially if she's unable to communicate to Angela that she's there. I'd love Enchantress to get a decent role but I think she's on Malekiths Dark Council. As for Jane, I do think it'd be a great way of having her present without her physical form being in any danger.
- I would have preferred the Angel armor too. The classic armor is somewhat plain.
- Sera is supposedly set to appear later on, provided Bunn gets enough issues to tell that story.
- Already it's been teased that 'unknown' is housed within the Destroyer. That's def important.
There would be a good way for the Enchantress to stop being with Malekith, all the time she has been apart so far, she does it to monitor the actions of Sylvie Lushton in the place she sent her at the end of the Illuminati series, and that she is busy thinking about other things so as to be wasting her time with Malekith (It's an idea, but it would be convincing to explain things).
Lorelei and Sigurd do not even care about Asgard, Lorelei continues with her robberies and seemingly heroic acts and Sigurd simply accompanies her and watches that she does not get out of control.
Just to explain what happens with them as it is difficult to see them for any series currently.
What exactly has Bunn done to provoke the negative comments about him? He has always been a solid writer with a pretty good pedigree before joining Marvel, with a reasonable track record on team books. At one point he was seen as a potential saviour of Marvel.
Personally, he is writing one of my favourite books X-Men Blue, and although it is not the deepest of books it is a good story with thoughtful characterisation and the requisite convoluted plot that I look for in an X-Book.
I gathered that. But until recently I have only ever heard positive things about his writing. Recently I made a passingly negative comment about him and I was shot down despite generally being a fan of his work and having been reading him ever since I came back to comics. And yet on this thread we see some posters casually state that because he is writing it they won’t read it. So there have to be some reasons behind this.
Excited to see Valkyrie, Destroyer and Angela on a book. Far less interested in attempts to make Throg happen.
Mercs for Money, though it restarted with a new #1, changed it's roster at issue 4, and didn't last a year. Also, Spider-Gwen was originally just an issue of Edge of Spider-Verse, they fast tracked that to ongoing status, but Secret Wars turned that first volume into a mini. The second volume though, has over 30 issues.
Aren't all four volumes of that long enough runners that you couldn't call them anything but an ongoing?
