• I'm so sad about this. I knew this would happen when the guy at C2E2 last year told me that he wasn't supposed to promote the X-Men anymore but I hoped it'd be more than a year away.

  • My favorite X-Man, unsurprisingly given my icon, is Kitty Pryde. The reason is probably a combination of her being my entry point into comics in the late 90s and also that I related to her a lot. Plus I love that being a hero isn't what she wants to be doing, it's not her endgame.

    Favorite villain is easily Magneto. His motivations, his fears, and the juxtaposition of what he went through during WWII fueling what he's fighting for regarding mutant kind when handled well is something I find incredibly engaging. More so than any other x-villain.

  • My only complaint is Kitty is older than Jubilee and I always feel like Kitty's been de-aged enough.

  • OH MAN the dream is Magneto villain season 1, but then he's joined the X-Men by season 2. Ideally the team make up for me would be Kitty, Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Karma with secondary members/characters of Iceman, Jean, Cyclops, Frenzy, Emma Frost, Psylocke Dani, Bishop, and then various students, maybe as a b-team (or cameos?) including Kid Omega, Idie, Prodigy, Ruth, Pixie, Laura, Bling!, Armor, Dust etc. Professor X can be somewhere I guess. The school would have secondary characters of Beast, Kavita Rao, Dr. Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, and Cecilia Reyes as a science based team (with occasional input from a very much not dead comic based Moira MacTaggart).

    I also always loved the Brotherhood run solely by Mystique idea, the team would make good secondary villains, with Mystique being a primary one. Also a version of the Morlocks run by Callisto would be equally fun.

    Personally I think I'd start of kind of basic for plot. Magneto attempting something terrible, the X-Men coming to stop him. Bigger threat appears and maybe Xavier goes off with Lilandra causing Magneto to become head of the school like in the early 80s comics.

    I would love a new X-Men animated series thought, WATXM was way too short lived.

  • Uncanny X-Men #361 by Steven T. Seagle, my brother gave it to me as a birthday gift when I turned 7 and I was immediately hooked. Been reading comics ever since. X-Men hold a special place in my heart but I read a lot more Image series than any superhero ones these days. Even work at a comic book store while I get through grad school.
