"laura is spicy white, Sophie is just regular white😭"

out of all the books the NYX one feels like it's going to be the most fun for me. I dont care that they're diverse in sexuality or ethnicity but their personalities and power sets are really diffrent and they feel like an x-team for the modern age, you have a stabby girl, someone with telepathy to keep the team connected, a strong leader, your 'geek' and then someone who cant hide and turn off their mutation. I love this team!

I’ve been wanting a cosmic adventure comic book series for Jean as Phoenix since I was a kid. This is a literal dream come true! 🔥🥰

I'm down with Phoenix and NYX! I've always been an X-Men comic head, so I will get these comics.

Anole finally gets some love. I've always thought his powerset is theoretically cool and he could be the Nightcrawler of his gen, with stealth powers. Very few have written him well though.

Dick Ryder. I will admit I have never thought about that in all these years since he’s been introduced. Congratulations to you, sir.🎉

Sorry I’m immature but pause Dick Rider 😂🤣🤣. His mamma called Richard I’m going to call him Richard 😂😂😂

Tough that Hellion just never gets used. NYX would've been great for him, especially with Laura and a Cuckoo involved. X-Factor is my next best chance lol

About Sophie… She’s one of the Cuckoos but she’s the one who was dead the longest with Esme being second on that and being the evil one. The others just hung around for a long time. I do know that Sophie and Esme were used with Destiny, John Proudstar and Moira’s Shi-at golem in Claremont’s Chaos war but those two have been put on ice for a while. But Sophie is an interesting one because she was the first head of the cuckoos and was the most heroic so, if any of them were going to try and find an excuse identity out of the group, it makes sense for her to go off on her own. Prodigy is an interesting pick. I mean, his abilities are really cool although I will miss his friendship with Eye Boy. Anole could be good. One of my favourite One-shots was Divided we Stand. And his friendship with Graymalkin was sweet, I just don’t know what they’d do with him. Kamala is a decent pick with this continuation and she’s working with characters in roughly the same age group. Laura… I don’t like her first appearance in NYX because of the vomit inducing ZebraDaddy of it all. I do hope Gabby appears. I think it’ll be an interesting title, especially since all five characters are somewhat adrift without their usual friends. But I swear, if we are doing NYX, I want Stacy X to appear.

@@RobinripleyProdigy is a decent character, I agree. For me, it’s a lot of characters who have had minimal interactions with each other that could be interesting.

I am excited about the Phoenix book. It's been a long time coming, and if done right, I think the comic could be really solid. My hope is that when all is said and done, towards the end of that arc, we can see better development with Jean without the Phoenix. I know I'm jumping ahead, but there are time's where the writing in regards to her character can be lazy (i.e. the way she seems to die so frequently). It will be interesting to see where her relationships go from here as well. I noticed that they are hinting to this in X-Men 97 as well with her desire to roam the stars. So it looks like this might have been in development

I love how your interest in NYX has made me now interested in NYX! I'm excited to read this book.

Sounds like they’re making a team that’s akin to street-level work (a la, Daredevil, Spider-Man, etc.).

I wish they would bring the original artist back for the nyx comic. That original run was my absolute favorite. The art and story were just so good. It’s what sparked my comic interest lol

@@Synch340 Not much, honestly. Aside from Leah Williams’ X factor book which showed their resurrections, not much. It also showed the return of Winddancer. Anole, Mercury and pixie have been getting decent bits in books like New Mutants, Way of X and Legion of X. Same with Dust since she literally formed the circuit with Legion to make the Alter. She was also with Magik, Marrow, Dani and Typhoid Mary in Realm of X. Prodigy has been getting decent stuff as well. And Blindfold returned to give Xavier a verbal assassination. I’d say that it’s been more of a Generation X era with Monet, Synch, Chamber and Emma getting some great moments with some love to the Morrison run. Us Academy X freaks may be getting our time now.

I like Jackson & Collin. The used to follow me on twitter before I started ranting about how much I disliked Taylor’s Nightwing

I always found it kind of weird how when they are about to start a new era, but haven’t finished the resolution of whatever big event is about to climax, it kind of spoils that everyone is making it through. Not that anyone ever really dies in comics, of course.

even with how interesting a couple of them sound, I do kinda feel some worry in having way too many x-books right off the bat. continuity and consistency will probably be all over the place and seems like it'll really be stretching the wallets for x-men fans. im gonna say a number of them will not make it past 6 issues even if they might be pretty good.

I feel like there should be an opposite to the Phoenix Force. I'm surprised Marvel hasn't done one yet since they made the opposite of the One Above All being the One Below All. Like there should be a force opposite to the Pheonix Focee that is made of the darkest and most destructive of energy as an opposite to life, created by the One Below All to serve its left hand of destruction as the Hulk serves as its right in a way with the Immortal Hulk storyline. They could also unite many of Marvel's Cosmic Villains like the Shadow King, Knull, Dormomu, and other cosmic representations of darkness, death, evil, and destruction under the banner of the ultimate villain of Marvel who intends to invade all the multiverse with its cosmic villains serving as its general's to its vast armies.

"40 years of reading comics"? I started reading in 1982 at 10. I'm a 52 year old geek. So yes, it gets annoying when some people try to tell me that my gripes about casting in the MCU are based in some sort of "ism" or "phobia". No, it's based in 42 years of character investment.

I've read nearly every X-related comic from the series' inception, for almost 40 years myself, and I just can't agree with you. Being queer, I always read the X-stories with potential for queerness, and many gay or trans people don't know who they are until later in life because the pressures of society to conform. So many of us gay & trans readers have been around since the beginning because what X-Men stood for. I imagine, someone with a sheltered heterosexual experience wouldn't pick up on the bread-crumbs left for our community. Like Iceman, for example. He was queer coded very early on, and I know many gay men who would get it on with Polaris, she is simply magnetic. If you focused more energy on being a better ally, maybe you wouldn't feel like such an outsider.. because let's face it, straight white men are not a minority, or a marginalized group that needs more representation. Queer people have complex lives and stories, over-simplifying us into one monolithic experience like "Iceman used to be attracted to Polaris" or "Rachel wanted to ride Franklin Richards" is just being ignorant to the journey many queer people experience before standing in their truth.
