The costume is nice, at least.
NYX cover was seemingly dropped prematurely, since Marvel deleted their tweet and the press release link was a dead link. Cast appears to be Ms. Marvel, Laura Kinney, Prodigy, Anole, and a blonde character who fans have speculated to be Kiden Nixon, a Cuckoo, or Soft Serve.
EDIT: It's Sophie Cuckoo and the press release is now out:

Didn't Destiny have a rather ominous prophecy for the Cuckoos? Also, I really dislike these new logos.
A solid end to a GOAT Storm run by Ewing.
SWORD/X-Men: Red/Storm and the Brotherhood/Resurrection of Magneto. Only 36 issues, but they accomplish so much.
Ororo's best stretch since Claremont's prime.
The Arakki falling on Ewing's hands was a blessing, just gonna say it: Hickman could not
The Phoenix logo isn't bad but NYX cracks me up with how bad it is
Hickman's imagination and ability to conceptualize whole timelines and universes is awesome. Nobody can shake up a whole line of comics like him.
But Ewing is as imaginative, has erudite grasp of continuity, and knows the characters so intimately. Just the consummate superhero writer.

I dig how hard that part of the book's description goes, at least!

Uncanny looking 90s as hell. Hope it feels fresh. I'll check out a Frost lead team, sure why not.
That was always the plan though, Krakoa was never going to be a permanent status quo change and Hickman was going to blow it up much sooner.
I don't get all the NYX hate, I think it looks awesome, it's one of the books I'm interested in the most, The other two are Uncanny and Phoenix.
With Ewing done, I thought we saw the last Ororo FEATS of the Krakoa Era.
But Fall of the House of X #4 just gave us a crazy one. Duggan gets a pass this week.

Won't be for some time. Dawn of X Vol. 1 omni just placed #6 in the most wanted omni poll, so that'll be done within the next 1-2 years. If that sells well enough, it'll be years beyond that before anybody has to worry about mapping Fall.
I'm totally lost with how Fall and Rise coordinate.
Like, obviously Duggan and Ewing have coordinated to use Storm and Magneto. But Duggan and Gillen don't seem to be at the same event. I will wait to see what's Xavier doing, but...
About what Breevort said about wanting more solo titles: I'm pretty cynical that his idea is going to work. For me, the basis of the X-Men is soap opera and a sense of community, I don't have much interest in seeing them separately.

I was warned that the writing in FotHoX #4 was awful, and I thought "yeah, I've been telling y'all Duggan's writing is bad", but even I wasn't ready at how embarassing it is in this issue. Goddamn.
Hey everyone, I think this is the best place to ask.
I wanted to purchase one of the collections with house of x/powers of x.
I can see that there are 2 editions, one from Panini and one from Marvel comics with the 2nd one having a few more pages.
Are there any substantial differences besides the cover art and is there a preferred one of the 2?

I have the Marvel edition, but I haven't seen the Panini one. The main difference I could find online is that mine is hardback and the Panini is paperback, so that's a major factor. All previews I've found are just the first few pages of HoX #1, but I can't see there being substantial content differences.
Brevoort's not breaking new ground here, solos are something most of the editorial regimes have tried and they don't stick exactly for the reasons you cite. The core appeal of the books is really in the found family soap with ensemble casts that Claremont popularized in the 70s/80s and frankly there are enough X-Men to keep a half dozen or more of those organically going anyway.
I'll be honest, it will be a surprise if Phoenix or Storm last more than 2-3 arcs.
A Phoenix solo with Jean adventuring out in the cosmic world of Marvel has the most potential, story-wise. But yeah, it probably won't last very long.
A solo title doesn't mean there are no other recurring characters involved. A solo title doesn't necessarily mean there are no teammates around either.
If Wolverine can sustain as a perennial solo, so can Phoenix and Storm in the right hands.

Wild guess: Krakoa survives but becomes gated by a combination of Arakko culture and A's current beliefs.
Mutants can be resurrected (thanks to the astral plane waiting room, no cradles required) but there will be strings attached. Making sacrifices, passing Crucible challenges, etc.
Also, truly wild random guess: we seem to have lost track of the total number of backup cradles, particularly one that was supposed to be at a super secret location. I'm betting one data crystal from a cradle is going to float around out there with a save state of Krakoa and its population. It'll be left out there as a toy for writers to pick up in the service of shenanigans.
Wolverine is a lot more popular that any other mutant out there.
I think that Phoenix and Storm are lucky if they reach the 8th issue, but I would be glad of being wrong.
Yes Wolverine is more popular, but it's silly to think he's the only X-Men character who can sustain a solo.
Cable's kept one going long-term, and Gambit has kept one up for a while as well.
Well, we were just reminded in Dead X-Men that a piece of the MKraan crystal is the whole of the crystal, so maybe one of the hidden cradles is the MKraan crystal?
You also forget Wednesday Warriors being fickle motherfuckers.
They want Wolverine getting a solo and it not being on the road map is funny but also I sense that'll probably change.
I'm not saying that but Logan's had solo stuff going since the 1980s as well, something Claremont also established early on leaning heavily into orientalist adventure genre stuff. It's sort of baked in.
Other X-characters with successful solos tend to have extensive or at least implied back stories outside the teams (Cable, Deadpool, Gambit, Magneto, Mystique, X-23, etc) that also lean into other established genre fiction (spy thriller, scifi, etc). This doesn't really apply in the same way to characters like Storm, Cyclops, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Iceman, Jubilee, etc, who really established themselves within the ensemble framework of the X-teams and tend to stumble outside that with trouble lasting more than a year. Frankly books in general at this point are lucky to last over a year the way Marvel operates with continual relaunches.
I do think the cosmic setup for Phoenix opens a lot of doors, and I think the rumored political setup for Storm could be interesting, but I'm still skeptical of lasting power. Most X-Solos are just a tougher sell to the audience, almost inversely to the Heroes Office approach Brevoort came up in, the franchise has always operated this way.
Wolverine is already in the roadmap.
No, we don't know Krakoa language.
I imagine they will announce Wolverine, X-Factor and Storm over the course of a week.
C2E2 is next weekend, either before that or during I'd guess as well.
Saying Storm, Rogue, and Nightcrawler in particular don't have extensive backstories and can't lean into other genres is honestly wild.
Rogue was a whole terrorist. Storm was basically catwoman and a living orisha. Nightcrawler was raised with a traveling band of Romani circus mystics.
They, like Logan, were adults when they joined the X-Men.
And while Phoenix joined the X-Men young like Scott, Bobby, and Jubilee, Jean will be in outer space basically being Outlaw Captain Marvel. Her book could easily be a cosmic Western. Galactic empires will be trying to kill her. She'll be the Phoenix with No Name trying to help people.
