I said the exact same thing, but she gets a lot better by the end of S1, and has earned her place in S2.

I am holding all of you to this!

It's a dream team. Reporting out there says it'll sell a million copies. I'm excited to see where Aaron takes it.

I am sure there are tons of people who want to read this, and Marvel incentive the hell out of their retailers to buy heavy on this. It will be the first comic to sell a million copies without the help of the newsstand. More power to them if it is sustainable, both on the production, and sales end.

How many issues of Star Wars do you think we'll get out of Cassaday? I hope he sticks on this one.

If he does more than 6 issues it will be a minor miracle. I would say the biggest contributing factors will be quality of art, and required publishing schedule.

Jason Arron dropped the news that his WatXM run is ending. I'm super sad about it, I'm leaving it up to you to cheer me up. Whadya got?

Jason Aaron is still writing the X-Men, now with 100% Nightcrawler.

Wolverine is going back his down, and dirty roots. This is how I like him best. I would love for him to start smoking again, now that his healing factor is gone. If Axel ever gets that ban lifted, this would be the perfect time to have Logan go back to it.

Daredevil TV show on Netflix. Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Jessice Jones too. For real and true.

Just a couple things off the top of my head.

Am I being a "stupid American" when thinking that Shogo isn't a name?

Shogo is a real Japanese name. From what I found, it is not a very popular name for boys in Japan, and is found more often in English speaking countries. Here is a list of some notable people with the name, Shogo.

As much as I think you're probably right, I don't want to see them stay. As fun as All New has been, eventually this thing is gonna jump the shark. I would much rather deal with the X-men of now rather than constantly rehashing the 60s versions.

I don't think that has to happen.

Keeping the younger X-Men in the present would not need to be a continual rehash of the 60's versions. At this point I believe they have had enough experience to differentiate themselves from their original counterparts, and will grow into different people than they would have originally. I really think a lot of this will be for the better.

Part of the appeal for me with the X-Men is that they are about hope for a better tomorrow, however when I think of the original team, they are mired in tragedy. Just so much of it. 

Now that story should not be changed. It is a large part of the canon that got X-Men where they are now. But having the original team exist in the present, as they did when they were at their most hopeful, provides powerful thematic, and symbolic threads to what the X-Men are about.

Huh, I guess I never thought about what would happen if our Scott and Lady Xorn came in contact with each other. Ya think the young Scott and Jean on the run is a prelude to what will happen when the older versions meet up?

Not as of yet. I think Scott and Jean are over.

One of the possible endgame scenarios I see here, is establishing the visiting X-Men as permanent Marvel Universe cast members. This would allow them to keep the classic team "forever young" in the story that is being told, along with the chance to continually evolve the surviving originals.

I think there would be room for the storybook romance of Scott and Jean under these circumstances. Their new experiences would allow for them to avoid the hangups that doomed them the first time around.
