It's funny you say that because with clinton almost guaranteed to win I think it's a lock that Wilson writes one team book and Bennet the other. Thompson on Generation X.

Would that be good or bad?
Most of these names dont say me anything...

That would sell me on this way more than "hey, here's just Titles From The 1990s".

Marvel not seeing announcing creators as essential is some fucking wack-ass Inhumanity shit and I can't stand it.

e: my genuine predictions are Bunn on Blue, Lemire on Gold, Hopeless on Gen X, Thompson on Jean Grey, Taylor on Weapon X, Zdarsky on Iceman and Walker on Cable

Hey birdie, I was looking up trade release dates earlier and damn man, I know you're reading it so I gotta ask...

Spoiler

that's totally Giurescu on the cover of the current witchfinder series isn't it!

I'd be shocked if Bennett is writing one.

You should know who G Willow Wilson (Ms Marvel) and Marguerite Bennett (Angela, Bombshells and soon Batwoman) are.

Also anyone who read Wilson's X-Men wouldn't be excited for her to helm a new X team book.

Stupid me, you are right

 

[ElNarez]

I put some names down in the post above, let's see what y'all got.

 

[Zombine]

My X-Men team:

Nightcrawler
Cyclops
Jean Grey
Colossus
Beast
Wolverine
Kitty Pride
Rogue
Psyloche
Emma Frost
Ice Man
Rogue
Magik
Rachel Summers
Storm

Yeah I'm boring, but talk about an awesome core group of characters that are both familiar and fun. Throw in random rookie x-men and you have a team that's rock solid. This also gives the team the ability to split into popular concepts like the "all Girl" team, etc.

 

[TheFlow]

lemire is definitely writing one but a team book would be a shock

 

[Donniewahlberg]

:}

Haha okay

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

At first I wondered why the UN was naming an imaginary character as an ambassador. But then I realized she'll probably get more done than the actual UN.

Some of the UN staff thought it was a bad idea.

I love that they're using the Cho variant. lol

Nightcrawler

Too many. Ban Zombine.

 

[Zombine]

Too many. Ban Zombine.

Throw in Pixie too because she's fun.

 

[echoshifting]

I can't believe I forgot to put Fantomex on my team

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Please let Bachalo stay on Doctor Strange. It would be cliche and boring to have him back on X-Men. The best only exception would possibly be Gen X.

 

[dan2026]

I can't believe I forgot to put Fantomex on my team

Fantomex is too good for 2016 Marvel.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I can't believe I forgot to put Fantomex on my team

If Remender isn't writing him then he needs to stay gone.

 

[Ross61]

I still wake up in cold sweats over that YAS Queen in that Captain Marvel solicit.

 

[LordOfLore]

She's #27 on that EW list based probably mostly on having a movie coming out.

THE GREATEST. THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL HER.

 

[echoshifting]

They want us to hate the civilian population of Marvel Earth too, I guess

That's fine I already do.

 

[LordOfLore]

I think most who've read X-Men books do. If Superman showed up on 616!Earth he would leave after an hour. They aren't worth saving.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Spider-Man taught me NY residents are very gullible to one newspaper. Keep hating on the hero that keeps saving your city 100s of times!

Brilliant, really enjoyed her on Canary

 

[ElNarez]

Your X-Men teams are bloated, wack, and, biggest sin of all, lacking of a throughline, a theme one can explore. WATCH HOW IT'S DONE with ElNarez's dream X-Force lineup.

Pyslocke
Magneto
Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe Cuckoo
Fantomex
Shatterstar
Mystique

aaand Xorn. Yeah. That's mostly for the mindfuck factor.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Is Fantomex still split into 3 different personalities?

 

[echoshifting]

Is Fantomex still split into 3 different personalities?

He popped up in UXM recently, I am not up to date on that book but Bunn seemed to be pretending that did not happen. Or I just scanned right by any brief mention of it.

 

[ElNarez]

iirc he's 2/3 reunited by the end of Humphries' Uncanny X-Force and nothing's been done with that

If they put any of Marvels current crop of jobbers as the head writers in these xmen team books, then Comics truly need to be cancelled

Like how you gon promise change and use the same fucksticks that got them into this creative low point in franchise history

magic cookie is a euphemism

[Primethius]

haha this might be one of my favourite issues of the entire series XD I totally get at it coming at totally the wrong time for you though, when you're so amped on the core narrative. I just thought was kind of beautiful and very spot on. It gave me the feels. I kind of remember feeling the same about the Shunka story though. I guess it just becomes more difficult for the writer and even the reader to an extent, as the main narrative ramps up to still have the patience to have these kind of issues when you really want to get to *the good stuff*. It's all another facet of what he's exploring with the larger themes, or building characters so you can be invested in them later with Shunka.

I definitely enjoyed both stories and I think they definitely have a place in the story Aaron is trying to tell. I just think he placed them in the wrong place structurally, after such a crazy volume you naturally expect a lull, but the story about the couple is the first time you see somwthing that doesn't tie back into the larger narrative. So it's like an expectations thing I guess.

I would've liked them spread out to some of the other trades where I think they would've worked better.

 

[Tizoc]

JC why aren't you reading the actual GOOD X-men comic that isnt X-men

I totally appreciate that man, they take up the whole beginning of that volume right? So I don't disagree. You destroying more this weekend or are you pacing yourself out? You're gonna feel so empty when it's gone, at least that's always how I feel when I finish an amazing series. I kind of mourn for awhile, even if I think it was perfect (which Scalped is very close to being).

His work on Preacher was great stuff
