Is there any chance that the new X-Men Blue and Gold series will be good enough to restore their prominence?
Is there any chance that the new X-Men Blue and Gold series will be good enough to restore their prominence?
No. X-men: Blue might be good though.
With Jean "You're gay" Grey as a leader? Doubt it.
Not him but the idea of the original fix being mentored by Magneto makes it a neat mix of 80s X-Factor and New Mutants. It's just a shame what they did to Jean and Bobby though.
Nope, the muggas have had their time in the spotlight and it is over
Hey man, I hate O5 Jean too, but Bunn writes a fantastic Magneto and Magneto mentoring the O5 is a solid premise. As long as Bunn isn't forced to to shoehorn in too much gay Bobby stuff and portrays Jean as the bitch she is, then it has a decent chance of being good.

have you seen the shitty creative teams
Nope.
1.- Marvel is stuck in the suck cycle. Nothing they are doing is particularly good.
They are so dumb they even missed on the opportunity to actually use mutants or inhumans in a way that worked for the sjw agenda.
2.- They don't want them to succeed until the movie rights go to Disney.
Blue has a good creative team and Syaf is a solid artist. The only weak link is Guggenheim.
When the fuck is Wolverine coming back?
>Is there any chance that the new X-Men Blue and Gold series will be good
Gold = Mark "Olicity" Guggenheim == "Not a chance!"
Just in case you had any doubt look at image related. The chick you don't recognize is Prestige (aka Rachel Grey ... because Uncle Guggie thinks that that's "organic").
Blue = Cullen Bunn who's pretty hit and miss. On the one hand he did really really well with the Magneto solo (until it got clobbered by Secret Wars), on the other hand ... Fearless Defenders. Yeesh.
Also: the team is O5 X-Kids (being lead, inexplicably, by Tean) + Mags. YMMV but I've just ignored anything with the O5 in it since about halfway through Bendis's run and don't see that changing.
TL;DR Nope, not feelin' it, user. Sorry. (Being an X-Fag is suffering!)
Blue is clearly garbage that only exist to explore the last possible story left with the Teen O5
and unless Ardian Sryaf became a superstar overnight Gold is dead in the water. we've seen everything about it before, the only thing about new is Kitty will be making more pointing poses.
>As long as Bunn isn't forced to to shoehorn in too much gay Bobby stuff
H-have you actually *read* any Marble over the last year or so??
Sure, plenty, but with Iceman having his own ongoing, there isn't much reason to relegate all the "look at how gay Bobby is!" stuff into Blue when they already have an entire ongoing/stealth mini dedicated to it.
I mean, Bunn's Uncanny X-men had M but it's not like any issue had any shoehorned in "look! M is a muslim! Isn't that progressive?!" shit in it.
I like Bunns horror stuff but his XMen had been pretty lame
Man other than those two baldies letting the side down the Gold team's hair game is fucking STRONG.
Lol no. X men side of Resurexxion is gonna be pathetic.
Why is Creed on the first pic?
Was Jim Lee planing to make him replace Wolverine?e
>on the other hand ... Fearless Defenders. Yeesh.
Oh that series is bad? I was considering reading it? Like not now but maybe eventually in the future.
It's awful. Bunn's worst comic by a wide margin.
That was a Bendis thing, and with him off the book,Bunn can do what he wants- write some Bad MotherFucker Magneto stories
Really not planning to read any O5 shit unless it turns out that Bunn is actually allowed to use the book as a springboard for the larger X-universe and resolve some more UXM plots of his. It's criminal that Uncanny wasn't allowed to continue.
On the other hand, Gold has the worse creative team by far but has characters I enjoy. Guggenheim at least proved he cares for Rachel with that X-men v4 arc of his so I might read it for that despite the awful redesign.
Wait, why is Sabertooth there.
They force Iceman to be gay so no
it will never be good again
Blue maybe, Gold's gonna be shit until Guggy leaves.
Keep the faith
Rachel Grey fucking rocks son
Gold is gonna suck but that is a 10/10 line up
>implying you ever gave a fuck about Iceman
He was very briefly on the team after Logan had his adamantium ripped out. It was just long enough to make it onto the years trading cards.
Psylocke looks really off in that pose and I don't know why
It looks like she's pooing a turd
her stance is to forward-heavy and she's about to topple over
Rachel Grey sucks, stop lying to yourself.
i will fight you
Nope, X-Men is a dying franchise
It's not the X-Men's fault that Disney is purposefully trying to kill them.
Iceman was one of the few XMen I liked until they turned him into a gay for no reason
