I will only accept Cyclops coming back if it's a solo street-level book where he assesses the state of the world and works his shit out

The world needs to figure it's shit out. But Marvel will write a series where Cyke killed Inhuman babies or something because they were shocked fans didn't side with Capt. Facist so they have to keep writing him doing worse and worse shit until the fans are on the side of the guy that made Marvel Studios infinite money.
Eventually, Cap will reveal that Hitler was actually Scott all along and they'll print an homage issue of Avengers that resembles the "Cap punches Hitler" issue with Scott in the place of Adolf.

So, like the last Magneto book, but not evil?
Less gritty and less depressing and none of that slice of life stuff.

and somehow, someway, Cyclops will still be right

taking it a bit far, no?
Nope. But almost everything afterwards is so good.
Is that where the avengers run that builds up to secret wars begins?

No.
The real start is Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF(it's not super important but you can see some groundwork here), then you go into Hickman's Avengers.

I want to see Peter as CEO, not Tony Stark playing Spider-Man as CEO. Pete has earned his chance at not sucking and frankly, it's always been a bit odd that a genius was always super broke. Maybe they should switch his focus and make him more of a CEO of a media conglomerate or something though.

I never read it aside from the Prelude to Axis, but yeah if that's what I'm describing. I had Black Panther Man Without Fear in my head when I thought of it

Seriuosly is there any other race that gets fucked over more than mutants?
plain ol racism, registration acts, sentinels, legacy virus, Genosha, House of M, Decimation, Beast, Terrigen mists, high chance of having some shitty mutation like a morlock, loads of other shit.
fuck being a mutant

Don't use the "M-word" please. Try "Alex" instead.
OOoooooooohhhhh
You have no idea how much that speech pissed me off. And what Remender tweeted about anyone disagreeing with that speech. I was super salty about it that I didn't want to read UA for months.
But Beast is awesome.

Fuck the Watcher. Dude can't foresee his own murder, why should I care about what he thinks of the best X-Man?

Is Marvel still finding ways to ruin their comics and alienate their audience (what's left of it)? Can't say I'm surprised. I still haven't forgiven them for Brand New Day.
First Class and DoFP are the best in the series

Judging from the preview, I don't think I'm missing anything from not having picked up an X-Men (or Inhumans) comic in years.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm fine with this. Rather see the X-Men killed off. Then give them a break. Then reboot then like they did with the Ultimate Universe in the early 00s.
It sucks, but is what it is. People just have to accept every so often comics need to hit that reset button.
Edit: As someone who loves the shit out of the Ultimate Universe from like 00-10 the universe as a whole has stayed long past it's welcome. While they've done some cool shit with regards to diversity the universe in general is at maximum crazy/power creep despite a couple of cataclysmic (aka we need to reboot some shit) events. Rather see the whole Ultimate Universe put out to pasture and Marvel start all over again.

At this point I'd only read Marvel if they stopped putting stand ins into other character's roles. X23 is Wolverine, Sam Wilson is Captain America, Thor's girlfriend is Thor, Gwen Stacy is both a Spiderman spinoff and a Deadpool spinoff...it goes on and on.
I agree they need new characters but respect those characters enough to make them their own themes and purposes. More than that MAKE SOME DAMNED VILLAINS. Everyone is a hero arguing with another hero these days because the more suits in the issue the more it sells. After nearly 17 years of this running wild I'd like to see villains with longevity again. Last good new one they made was The Hood.

Yes.
This book takes place in the past so they aren't going to be killed off lol.

What the fuck with the pictures as you get further down the article.
It's like someone at Marvel fapped their hate of the X-Men into drawn form.
Are we really supposing that this event is going to be played straight or is there going to be a twist?
I'd expect a twist, or they'll retcon things in a few years.

I'm ready for no more X-Men.
From a civilian standpoint on the MCU, the mutants ARE a bunch of dangerous individuals and terrorists who act without any consequences.

Well they aren't in the MCU so your inference makes no sense.

Is Marvel just getting stingy about not having the film rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four? (Seems like they're willing to let Deadpool go)

MCU is the acronym for Marvel Cinematic Universe. Let's not play coy.

I get that, but what I'm saying is I wish it was the actual death of the X-Men and in general the Ultimate line. They need a full fresh start with zero baggage.
