The Empyre She-Hulk issue did some stuff with it. The current arc of Runaways is dealing with Krakoa stuff as well.
I'm usually a bit down on Excalibur (compared to the other X-titles), but this was a good issue. Was my first time hearing of Malice too. Having a story with Betsy and Kwannon themed around forgiveness made this book a particularly good place to tell that story. Hope she comes back.
Very much agreed. Excalibur has been improving leaps and bounds in the last few issues, I'm hoping it doesn't go back to being a slog now that the Betsy-Kwannon stuff is done.
I enjoyed Marauders a lot too, largely because it's another of those rare issues that fulfil the series brief: the Marauders out there on the ground saving mutants from countries that don't work with Krakoa. And Morlocks!
Pyro was also looking better in this than he has in a while.
Can anyone figure out what's under classified? I can definitelt identify the following:
First word THE
Second word is five to six letters, most likely five. The second letter is either R or P.
Get ready for Romita on Hickman's book.
Probably just a book similar to what X-Men is right now, while Duggan writes the book that's actually focused on the new X-Men team.

With 6 new series, are we expecting more current runs to be retired other than Cable and X-Men?
Also, I wonder if any of these will end up just being limited series.
Classified new series looks like THE TRIAL to me, but that's just a best guess.
Classified artist: Art Adams? There's a space between the A and the second letter though, which makes me wonder if it's A. something...

It just says "artist" (and probably "TBA" or "TBD" or something)
It's definitely THE TRIAL, you can see after the second letter of the second word a short dash, then a slightly longer dash and then a shorter dash again, those have to be I and A and L.
X-Men - Duggan writing the new team, including the ejection winner (good troll by Hickman, some people definitely voted based on how they think he writes certain characters better/worse LOL)
Leah book (The Trial?) - I think this is about Sabretooth. Wasn't there a line about Hellfire Gala that referenced him having something to say? People will probably find out he was exiled and the council will pressured into giving a trial.
Hickman book (Uncanny X-Men is my guess) - He'll keep doing what he is now under the new status quo, maybe with an even wider cast. I could see him electing to straight up not use anyone on Duggan's team.

I think Hickman will make good on Moira when the time is right, but a book seems like a big question after Covid. I think it's gotta be on getting the right person to write it. They revived X-Corp and they must know people are waiting in the wings to buy a Moira series, since they always get asked about it and always dodge.
The designs....
I didn't realize it was for Heroes Reborn when I started bitching.
Ah, Heroes Reborn, the thing that's allowing me to take a break from Marvel in May because fuck that random ass story.
Between that and EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEME Carnage I'm damned close to checking out for a while
I voted for Marrow, I really want her on the team (or any team) again.
Polaris is probably gonna win and that bums me out because I don't want her to leave X-Factor
I struggled with her in Spurrier's X-Force. But there is always one character I really struggle with in any book Spurrier writes.
Forgive me X-Factor fans
I wanted to see her in the big leagues & with more Magneto interactions
Personally, I think it gets better later on, especially in the X of Swords buildup.
The book serving as a lore dump while trying to serve a plot held it back in the beginning, IMO.
Yeah, the gap closed a little when Marvel went on hiatus during the pandemic. MU is 4 months behind now (week 2 of December 2020).
HoXPoX started in July 2019, so you'd have about a year and a half of comics to catch up on.
About 150 issues at this point. I have them all in my reading list right now as I just started over from the beginning.
OP
OP
Excalibur ends up being pretty integral to the first major event - X of Swords. Everything that's established in those issues comes to play in a big way later on.
I bet Duggan does fuck all with her if she makes it.
I still think Banshee might have this considering 4chan stuffed a lot of votes in for him at the last second
Too bad. :( I didn't expect her to win but it would have been nice.
Well there goes my hope for Armor. Side note the only thing Whedon's done that hasn't aged horribly or been attached to scandals was his X-Men run.
Yeah that is a bit worrisome but I'll just go in with slightly tempered expectations.
Also I've officially caught up to the point where I stopped reading weekly.
