I actually agree. The less baggage he has to unpack and explain and do away with, the better.

it's also Xavier himself that is showing that repressed memory to Jean.... mmmm.
Well it's Onslaught, but same shit :3
So the two series are actually pronounced 'House of (Echs)' and 'Powers of (Ten)'. That's weird huh?
He came back in Rosenberg's Uncanny X-Men, but died in #22.
Hickman loves guys in black suits with big dumb hats. It's a prerequisite for a good story.
kids. that was the missing element from avengers/new avengers. that's where the heart is.
The Logan panel is so good. <3
The only X-Men comics I liked in the last few years was x-force and the introduction of Evan/Apocalypse. The rest never thrilled me. If anyone can change that it is Hickman. Looking forward.
I wonder if Hickman is totally going to avoid post AVX dead Charles. It may not be something he wants to deal with, but bringing him back was the major resolution of Soule's run on astonishing. Then purposely keeping him off the playing board of 2018 Uncanny as they fought Jesus-Nate and all the hollow whiz bang deaths surrounding Cyclops and Wolverine's return.
Then again who wants to deal with the continuity of a Professor X who we've seen:
-Murder-killed by Cyclops
-Hanging out with Nightcrawler in (I guess Catholic) heaven
-Have his cadaver brain taken out and implanted into Red Skull to transform Red skull into Onslaught
-Somehow be mentally imprisoned by Shadow King and forced to play chess this whole time.
-Tagged out Fantomex in 616 reality and adapt black speech bubbles.
What a character epic.
He was brought back out in astonishing X-Men. At least as of yesterday in uncanny X-Men he was a corpse they could program to do stuff.
Wow, what a tremendously disrespectful way to treat a departed friend. They could have just made an actual robot without desecrating Sean Cassidy's corpse and sending it into battle.
So good and so weird at the same time. The whole sequence looks dreamy. Yeah, do not trust Xavier with anything.
Judging by how healthy and normal he looks in the preview, and how much Hickman likes gen x, looks like our buddy Sean is just fine. Just threw that dumb zombie shit out the window.
I'm glad he shook off his case of the unliving dead.
Where are you guys seeing him in the preview? I only caught the part where they role call him as he goes through the portal but didn't see him.

Think that hat is some mechanism that allows Xavier to project his powers further to mask mutant-kinds' existence in some way?
I just read #22 Warlock wasn't in it. Multiple Man infected with the TO virus was though and he did in fact die
Oh but he could still have a zombie-face up close. Is that his Generation-X uniform or Kitty Pryde style?our beautiful boy
You do kinda half expect it to smashcut to Jean waking up from a dream, huh?
That's a given. Cerebra magnifies his power by ten times its usual strength.
actually he exploded in UXM 21. I know he was a zombie, but I would say he is pretty much out of action now
they even call him Warlox. yeah, I know
And original Maddrox also died (apparently) in UXM 22.

Zombie version exploded two issues ago.
I think you may be onto something - everything post AvX gets minimized/ignored.
Nah Hickman doesn't do ignoring. He will explain things and why they are different. Just sometimes it takes a little longer than other times
I love how this feels like Claremont/Lee X-men #1 mixed with Morrison's New X-men. A bit of the "we are now a global force with secondary members running the auxiliary functions" mixed with the living island teleporter weird. Sage and Doug and their awesome blue and gold costumes give me Forge/Banshee vibes from #1.
I fucking love it already.
I'm also calling it: I think Charles has to keep the helmet on to keep this pocket world going and that's why he never removes it in the previews.

I don't understand why X-Force (1991) and X-Force (2008) #7-10 in New Mutants/X-Force: Demon Bear don't just come with the New Mutants Epic Collection: Demon Bear Saga , so if one want to see what happens with Dani and her X-Force team one would need to buy both, or just the Epic Collection and find those four issues on their own. Anyway, I bought New Mutants Epic Collection: The Demon Bear Saga.

Finally got a chance to read the preview. Looks like HoX is about like new beginnings or starting over, and PoX is about the future of mutant-kind, where history repeats itself. At least the first issues.
Anyone remember from the recent Phoenix Resurrection, if Jean still has the Phoenix, or who it was passed on to if not?
And speaking of Jean, who should she be with? Because you know they are going to end up doing a Jean Grey romance, even if Hickman doesnt do it himself lol. Not that it really matters, but I kinda hope its not Cyc again. As much as I like Scott, he should either be with Emma or die alone after the shit hes pulled.

Rosenberg's run felt like some late-90s pre-Morrison drivel. Kind of a dumb run
Well, if not all post AVX stuff, certainly Rosenberg's fiddy-diddy lame duck run.
I thought people were pretty stoked by his lighthearted run on Astonishing? But reading his uncanny stuff, it was pretty lame.
It would be nice if she FINALLY got with Logan and it stuck.

Exactly. I think he's definitely trying to bring Xorn to mind-even if it's to subvert expectations.
Maybe just this once? ...who am i kidding, he is totally gonna be evil.

Well I'm yesterday's Uncanny, Cyclops and Jean saw each other for the first time since she died in the Morrison run way back when and they immediately embraced and kissed much to Emma's chagrin.
Jean severed the connection between herself and the Phoenix...and now she's free to push the upper limits of her power without fear of the Phoenix taking over. It wasn't shown to pass on to anyone else as of yet
I'd rather Jean just be her own woman for the time being. X-Men Red was great for that, no messy romantic entanglements, no playing second fiddle to Xavier
OP

Ah yes! That's right. Ever so briefly. Actually if we want to get technical The Phoenix brought back Scott from death and then killed him again. Cable then went back in time and plucked Scott before he died so technically this Scott wouldn't remember the Phoenix thing.
I have mixed feelings about Logan/Jean. It is like a fan fiction at this point. Plus I can see it working for very long. Jean better become a monk or something and never date again.
I like the Scott/Emma couple. She is the only one able to keep his bullshit in check. Other than that, yeah, he should be alone.
I wonder if that EW interview was subtweeting Rosenberg.
Saying people who don't put "the toys back ok the shelf" are assholes and his idea for a good run is "additive, not destructive."
I like Scott/Emma a lot, but yes - Doug was already dope as hell in 1 page.
Same - Red was maybe the best the character has ever been. Such strong, compelling characterization.
"The X-Men will fight for you anyway."
Chills.
Hickman is literally never like this, People really like to see shit where there is none.
I agree with the dumb fun view, but I kinda associated it more with Robert Kirkman's Ultimate X-Men run, in that it had a 90s/fanfic vibe.
