Please, please make Legends to finish this team. Long overdue!
At first, I was disappointed that Chris Claremont wasn’t writing this.
And then I thought of his recent series, and now I’m less disappointed
Love me some Outback X-men!!

I love this poster despite disliking Cyclops’ new costume, and I find it hilarious they changed Emma’s hand placement so she doesn’t have her fingers near Rogue’s butt. I would never have noticed it otherwise; seems like Marvel has its own Streisand effect moment. Hopefully, the story will be more memorable than this edit.
I would def agree- I don’t like this Cyclops costume but the poster looks cool.
Hard pass, I would like to see a story where her powers get amped up because she technically explodes matter at atomic level aka can technically do a atom bomb blast but we only see small scale fireworks , she would be so O.P. & will give her more fan base & respect
Both of those covers are terrrrrible.
I’ve been out of reading modern Marvel comics for a while, but it appears that artists are beginning to give Jubilee the D-cup treatment. They grow up so fast!

I’ll give it a shot but honestly everything post Krakoa for me, save for Storm has very lackluster. I really did enjoy them bringing all mutants together but just going back to a school just seems “meh”.

Im sorry, Graymatter really? This is one of the dumbest and unintentionally hilarious things from Marvel in a long time. A whole room of folks came up with this?
Yep. Goes like this:
“We need a fresh new idea that we can do with the X-Men!”
“Put em in a school environment?”
“Genesis!”
