  1. I want to go on the record that I did not ask for this.

    kthx

  2. UUUHHHHH me 2. I didnt even know that marvel.com was asking what Claremont would write next!!

  3. what a wonderful idea… let the fans on marvel.com dictate what Claremont is going to write about.  that should get him out of his funk… 

  4. What’s this? This missed my attention when I was creating a list of comics to buy. Who asked for what? ??? I guess I don’t go on marvel.com as much as I ought to. Um, new generation of mutants? From where, a funeral home?

  5. I’ll be honest, this is an intriguing concept.  I enjoy real time alternate universe stories.  I don’t think I’ll be buying this, but maybe I’ll leaf through it at the store.

  6. @Conor  Oh, it’s a great concept.  I just can’t remember the last time Chris Claremont wrote anything that didn’t make my brain boggle, in a not good kind of way.

  7. I’ll skip it and go re-read the first three issues of NYX over and over and over. I don’t think "modern mutants" gets much better than those three issues. Everything else pales (including the rest of NYX!)

      

  8. Yipes… Just…yipes.  You want to know what I want Claremont’s next project to be?  ANYTHING but comics, especially X-Men.  I don’t remember the exact moment that Claremont jumped the shark (somewhere before X-Treme X-Men?).  Maybe he was better suited for the comic book style of decades past, which, if true, begs the question: shouldn’t a "modern, real-time" take on mutants be the LAST thing Claremont writes about?  And can’t we stick this in the MC2 universe where it can be properly ignored?

    Also, I got twenty bucks says it opens with a baseball game. 

  9. Yeah, this doesn’t interest me at all.

  10. I hope they have tons of angst and talk to themselves a lot.  That would be a really new spin.

  11. I like these kinds of stories, so I’m hoping it turns out good.  Maybe it’ll even do good enough to create a new spinoff set of series, like Ultimate and First Class.  I’d like to see a Next Class Avengers and FF.

  12. Aren’t there enough young X-somethings crawling around the Marvel U now?
