X:Men Messiah Complex

I just read about this over at IGN and am thrilled to hear of a new Marvel story focusing on the mutants.

Anyone hear anything else about this? Wondering what the initial word on artists, writers, etc will be for this one.

Yeah, the X-Men have been so under-used of late.

Brubaker and Carey are doing the major load of writing, from what I read. Bachalo and Ramos are going to continue being artists, and Astonishing X-Men will not figure into it whatsoever.

What, like half of Marvel's regular output?

This is what turned me off of most of the "major" crossover events. How are you going to have some kind of all-encompassing event going on with all your characters and then have one book not be tied into the whole event? Then to top it off, the book's that not tied in uses some of the same characters as the books currently in the middle of the WORLD'S GREATEST CROSSOVER?!!!1!!1! You see this shit happen all the time in DC books and I remember it happening in Marvel books as well in the past.

The thing with Astonishing is, it's so late, and so out of context with the other books, that having it participate in any crossovers would be useless, as it's chapter probably wouldn't come out until 2010. Whedon and Cassaday are pretty much being left to their own devices until they're done (and I'm fairly sure the follow-up team of Ellis and Bianchi are being treated the same way).

As for Messiah Complex, I'm interested in it, to the extent that I will Byrne-steal the books in the store, but I probably won't be buying any. I liked Carey's X-men run (or at least the first story arc. It was culled in the "I have no money!" cutback), and Brubaker is apparently just hitting his stride on Uncanny now. I love Bachalo's art too, but Ramos I can take or leave. I'm more intrigued by the rumors of what the fallout from the event will be.

I myself am in the small camp that loves crossover events. I buy a shitload of comics every week, and if they all gel into one, larger picture, the happier I am.

That being said... Countdown fucking sucks.

I've been out of the X-Loop for awhile - what rumors are floating around (mutants getting their powers back, deaths, etc.)?

So it's Children of Men with the X-men in it? I wonder how they thought of that?

A culling of books, teams getting switched around quite a bit. there was an image leaked/circulated a few weeks ago titled "X-men Disassembled" that's supposed to be associated with this. So, it's all very "ooooooooh, we're not telling", but it seems like it could be something drastic. Which I hope so. I'm tired of "EVERYTHING CHANGES!" and it just means Chris Claremont starts writing a different book for a few months.

Bet Tim Kring was involved somehow.

Tim Kring doesn't read comics. Or watch movies. He exists in the vacuum of his own "creative" uber-world.
