If they send the X-Men back to the 90's I'll be torn. I like where they're at now, but nostalgia for a bit will be fun until it wears off. Unless Claremont writes it like X-Men Unlimited, then it's garbage.

i'm sorry I cannot trust someone who thinks 90s Rogue has more claim to a cover than America gosh-darn Chavez. THIS IS WHERE I DRAW THE LINE.

Claremont gonna write it

The massive giveaway to that post-Secret Wars X-Men looks to be the '92 X-Men is the real story here.


No way they give this to Claremont right?!?!

What I now wonder what exactly X-Men 92 represents. Is the stopping point when Claremont left X-Men #3?

Have we had any info about the differences of the main Justice League title and JLA? Might be more government focused or smaller stories.

I'm not sure where people are getting the Post-Secret Wars 92 X-Men thing from when it says Secret Wars right in the corner of the cover.

They wouldn't be establishing this team with characters that weren't going to stick around in continuity. They wouldn't pick 92 Jean, Rogue, etc on a whim. This is meant to be a book to pick up new readers.

Jean Grey is not going to be alive in issue #1 and then magically back to being dead after SW.

Can I be real for a second? Today is legit a dream come true for comic fans. There's so much to get hyped about today it's insane.

I am getting the impression SW is an event just to get every character back to their "iconic" state. Whatever they deem that is for a particular character.

No, the cover artist picked the most memorable designs besides Carol.

Or his favorite designs for the said characters.

Notice how Nico is pre Arena Nico or Wanda in her classic outfit.

So forth.

Black Widow really amuses me in that cover. I think it is the combination of legs pulled in with guns half-heartedly extended. It looks like she is looking to her right trying to see if she is matching up with everyone else. The way her hair is going also looks like she is going up and to the left instead of right. She's probably worried she'll bump into someone.

That being said, this is a really sweet cover.

I want to know the premise of Ass Force. Is everyone sick of men? There's a fine line between girly hijinx books and pandering.

I didn't say Jean wouldn't be there after Secret Wars. It's just that those specific looks (specifically Rogue,Jubilee) are ones they've shown that they'll be using during the event.

It seems like it'll be a rotating group of characters since nobody is writing a 30 person team book.

And why should a new all female team mean that people are sick of men? Aret there not only like 50 male dominated superhero teambooks?

Click to expand...

it's probably just the cover and hype that bothers me, but the pr says the Avengers team disbanded, and now it seems like every single female in the MU is on the new Avengers team and no men, and that feels like an editorial decision. Think of it it this way, we get annoyed when there aren't enough women on a team book, now it's a seemingly huge team that purposely has no men. I didn't think twice about any of the previous books being all female.

And as for the sick of men thing, i meant the women of Marvel, as in maybe they were sick of Cap and Tony doing their passive aggressive thing so maybe they created a team of only females.

THisssss!!

I think we all assumed that Image was just going to keep absorbing all the good teams and ideas and Marvel and DC books would just swirl into creative entropy but nope.
