@AgeofHurricane
Marvel really seems to be giving far more attention to their female heroes. Good.
This looks really good. Hopefully it lives up to its' potential.
Here more news on it

About time too.
To be honest, I would be more interested in this book if it didn't have kitty, storm, rogue, and psylocke in it. I know that these are the women to have in an all female x book, but still, its kind of ugh. I know that other x women will make cameos, but this is the team.
@Veitha: Now that I think about it, I think that's a problem the x books have had for a while, its not that there are too many books, but the fact that the same characters keep getting used over and over.
@Veitha said:
Yeah, they should have used other characters... Half of them are in other titles(well everyone except Jubes lol) and now UncannyXForce is gonna be pretty useless
I think this title will be good. Not my ideal of all girl team, but I think Wood would do a good job on it. I'm going to love marvel now.
So Marvel didn't have the balls to call it X-women. Not impressed. And you know everyone in the book is going to call them "X-women". There has already been Sisterhood of Mutants so really what is the hold up. is the brand more important than the characters. And the cast could have had more underused X-women like Magma, Frenzy, Blink and Lifeguard.
But i trust in Wood and can't wait to see his take on the Claremazons. I finally have a flagship book to follow. This, UXF and Fearless Defenders are the only book i will get. But i still have to wait for all them...
@Billy Batson: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RN?! I'M NOT EVEN HERE.
AADSDASDASFDFSFSDFSDFDSFSDF.
I can't deal anymore. I just can't.
(Btw, yes, i am over the f*cking MOON right now)
YES, Storm. WORK that Mohawk.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I am throwing money at the screen, but nothing is happening!
words can't describe..... OMG YES. I need that book now!!!
I think it's good news I like what Bendis is doing but Wood is my favorite X writer at the moment.
@time: Don't forget X-Men Legacy! Which I'm enjoying despite it flying so low under the radar.

Yeah, there were plenty characters they could have add to this tittle, but they used the same as before. Maybe a title with Storm(this is her title, she deserves it lol), Sage instead of Psylocke and Lifeguard(or Pixie) instead of Kitty, Rachel(she doesn't seem to have a central in W&TXM anymore), Frenzy/Rogue and Jubilee could have worked, it would have been similar to the old X-Treme X-Men.

Yeah, I like it too and I'll surely read that, but it could have been better.
@Veitha: Omg. I would have LOVED LG :(.
In fact...*proceeds to email Brian Wood regarding the whereabouts of character in question*.

I'm actually really glad they didn't call it X-women; these are X-men, every one of them. Plus that title would definitely write them into a corner, eventually.
I'm also actually glad they went with this line up; besides being an all-star cast, these characters were all main characters at different points throughout the 80's, which gives the team a very distinct and definitive flavour -I actually noticed that before anything else, so this may be one time when I feel that newer characters might have watered it down..
And as far as how many other books these characters are in, I could really care less. This is probably the only X-book I'll read where any of these characters get any proper focus.
Psylocke, Storm, Rogue and Jubilee. The Outback Girlz.
I'm dying right now.
@judasnixon: another good reason to not use that title.

So where's the guy team that's going to clean up this teams mess every other issue?
The Uncanny X-Chumps. Roster: Colossus, Iceman, Cyclops, Havok, Wolverine and Gambit.
hey, is there some reason this isn't on the News & Rumours page?
So where's the guy team that's going to clean up this teams mess every other issue?
that's abit sexist don't you think?

and, hey, this cast is made up of some of the core X-men from the 80's, and who doesn't love the 80's? these guys have all proven themselves in my book.

I'm clearly joking around. I've roused a fanboy hornets nest!
@AgeofHurricane: I see what you did there. How dare you make a cast of their exes. Perhaps there can be bickering crossovers?
Does anyone know if this will be released every four weeks or two weeks?
It's a little annoying that they've made a big deal out of an all female team, what with the XX hint, and it being reported as an all female title, when I've heard no mention of the fact that New Avengers is an all male title. I think it would've been better if they'd released it and not made such a big deal about the sex of the members. It seems a little gimmicky the way it's happening.
But at least there's an all female X-Men team to balance out the all male New Avengers team.
Are there any other all male or all female Marvel teams at the moment?
