THE MAD LADS THIS IS THE XMEN RENNAISANCE
Josiah Anderson
>90's nostalgia.
Eh.
Aiden Perez
>X-Men anthology series, set throughout their history, tying up loose ends and revisiting old plotlines, written by veteran X-Men writers I wonder how Zig Forums will find a way to hate it.
Ryder Turner
So what's the retcon gonna be? They can't actually make him the third Summers brother because Vulcan exists, and because this story is set in the 90s yet in stories set after it Adam-X is never treated as part of the family. I notice that Erik the Red is on the cover, presumably this is the Shi'ar agent Erik the Red (the one who brainwashed Havok and aged Magneto back into adulthood), so I'm guessing he'll be revealed to be part of Adam-X's origin. Maybe they'll even explain why Erik the Red happens to have the same costume and name that Cyclops once used in the pre-Claremont era.
Isaac Gomez
>All the female characters are censored, I don't see any boobs on this cover! Damn SJW artists! How dare they draw these female characters in the costumes they actually wore at the time!
Ayden Miller
The artist, Brett Booth, is actually one of those comicsgate weirdos that does sexy women pretty alright so you might be alright
Daniel Jenkins
Finally a good X-Men comic
Easton Allen
Are we really asking from more work from these old dudes?
Carson Kelly
So this is Untold Tales of Spider-Man: X-Men edition?
Ryder Walker
>Are we really asking for more work from these dudes that wrote classic issues of X-Men that sold way more than anything coming out today? Yes
Caleb Morgan
>Fabian Nicieza
Wasn't he a perv who got metooed?
Zachary Gutierrez
I don't see the appeal of allowing old creatives to work on an IP that they've already sort of stretched across the board with their input. I'll always respect these dudes and what they've done to X-Men no matter what, but...idk I've sort of moved on.
(who am I kidding im gonna buy the Larry Hama stories because I love that motherfucker)
Robert Taylor
You're presumably confusing him with Scott Lobdell, who wrote X-Men comics around the same time.
Eli Lopez
I'm happy for this. 90s X-Men gets too much undeserved flack. It's still good/readable up through the end of Lobdell's run and most of the side books were still good. I'll bust a nut if they can bring in John Francis Moore and Adam Pollina for a road trip era X-Force story.
Xavier Carter
>They can't actually make him the third Summers brother because Vulcan exists I'd love it if they retconned Vulcan but it'll never happen. He's still their half-brother anyway.
Charles Clark
If this is successful, we'll probably get Avengers Legends and/or Spider-Man Legends too.
Angel Cruz
>Avengers Legends >Issue #1 has Carol's rapist-rapebaby come back
Connor Adams
I was about to say, if you don't want another Larry Hama Wolverine story you are crazy
Alexander Evans
So what plots/storylines do you want them to revisit (other than obvious ones like event stories like Onslaught, Mutant Massacre etc.)? For me it's probably Crimson Dawn, because alot of the stuff that happened in it was pretty much either too vague or left unresolved.
Those Neo fuckers. Maybe there's a way to salvage the idea.
Jayden Young
>Maybe there's a way to salvage the idea. Anything's possible. You know speaking of the Neo, I'm suprised Hickman isn't using them, what with the whole evolution along different lines thing he's playing around with.
Gabriel Butler
>Let's do it again because the last two times sold so great we canceled them!
I want to Chris Claremont finally use the Shadow King like he intended to those decades ago.
Brody Taylor
>Shadow King is revealed to be a little African girl into BDSM, then she hooks up with Storm and Kitty watches
Ryder Martin
I can say, as someone who has barely read X-Men before, that I liked the HoX & PoX books a lot (which I guess is a sign that Hickman must be doing something right)
Xavier Reed
Wasn't he supposed to be revealed to be cause of the Majority of humanity's hatred/fear of mutants and was incressing tensions to feed on the negative energy that was generated?
Joseph Hughes
>118918335 Bizzarely I feel like they work great for relative newbies - people who know ABOUT the X-Men, watched some movies, maybe a cartoon or two, know the general lay of the land, but don't have decades of experience with the minutia of the stories.
Everything is such a new start all over that it doesn't matter that much, and because everything has changed there's a lot of explaining the details of the setting, almost to the extent of handholding after the more confusing HoX/PoX.
I'm a few issues behind on X of Swords but it seems to largely be using new mythology/characters as antagonists so even that is newbie friendly.
Henry Butler
Was that part of the never-happened Mutant Wars crossover? Sounds like it's related.
