    1) Psylocke, Nightcrawler & Colossus enter the Siege Perilous after their friend, Meggan, uses and seemingly fuses with the artifact. The Siege leads them to Otherworld and as Meggan's unique combination of mutant gifts draw from the emotions of our heroes to alter the very nexus of reality, the more perilous their journey becomes. Even though the trio stays connected through Psylocke's psychic rapport, they have to shake off the amnesia-like daze each time they enter a new mystical village....and to make matters worse,
    2) Mephisto has emerged from the flames of hell to torment them along the way.

    3) It sounds cool to me...but who knows these days, eh?

    Wait....it would have to be an X-Men title for the modern day??

    Wolverine Cyclops and Storm...because you know, these are all fresh and interesting characters that haven't had many stories written about them.

    1) The book would be about the X-Men arguing with each other for 10 pages of actual "story" and 12 pages of adverts....and I charge 5 dollars for it.

    2) Just fight the same characters over and over....you know, maybe the Sentinels or the Imperial Guard or Mr. Sinister. Or you could just compensate for a lack of a rogues gallery by having them argue and fight with each other.

    3) Of course. People evidently have low standards these days.

    As for the creative team....I actually can't really sardonically criticize them, the X-Men always get a pretty solid team, unless it's something like Chuck Austen, Greg Land or the Dodsons...but, those days are done.

    1) It's about a family reunion and courtroom drama. It's about Jean and Beast coming together to tell Rachel that they're her real parents. They're just about to hug when Wolverine shows up with DNA tests proving that Both Beast & Wolverine are the father of Rachel, with her having both Logan's & Hank's DNA. Paternity battle ensues in court. It'll be a drama.

    2) No one's a bad guy but this whole thing was caused by Jean being a Bad Girl, amirite ?

    3) Hell yeah !

    Bonus : Claremont, Morrisson & Bendis.

    @nightlocke: Seems like the perfect excuse to bring back Jaime Braddock for a week.

    @cattlebattle- Lol I could be wrong.... but I don't think you were serious about that post. Though to be honest, Sinister as a villain wouldn't be bad with Chuck Austen writing him...a full crazy Chuck Austen paired with Sinister seems like a match made in heaven.

    @avenger85- Your gonna leave Rachel alone sir.....or there will be problems!

    Shadowcat, Emma Frost and Magneto would be the main characters. (With Colossus and Cyclops put on the back burner for little scenes here and there.)

    1) The book would work on burying the hatchet between Kitty and Emma (cause you know, their talk together at the end of Breakworld never really happened according to the writers when Kitty came back.)

    2) The villain would be seem to be Arcade working alongside (another) new incarnation Hellfire club, set on torturing and extracting vital information from their ex-members Emma and Mags. Their plans are shaken up when Kitty inadvertently gets involved in the situation. When the Hellfire club reveals their trump card (a reality manipulating mutant) the game becomes much more dangerous.

    3) I'd read it. But then again, it's my idea. I know Emma/Kitty and the Hellfire Club have gotten their share of spotlight in recent years, but I feel like there's just a bit more to be told and wrapped up. Though it's not hero vs hero and fights with fodder sentinels so who knows if the public would buy it?

    1) it'd be a story the Hellfire Club teaming up with Arcade and coming after their former members Emma and Magneto. Putting them in one of Arcade's games as they watch. The plans would be shaken up when Kitty inadvertently gets involved. But the club reveals their trump card, a reality warper in their ranks and the game gets deadlier than ever. It could expand on the relationship between Kitty and Emma that was completely disregarded when Kitty came back. (It was like their moment at the end of Breakworld never happened???)

    2) Hellfire Club and Arcade

    3) Id buy it, but it's my idea. I'm not sure how it would go with the public though since it's not just infighting among the team or endless fodder.

    Not all mutants leave and new mutants are born every day. Betsy Braddock decides to stay and run the mutant underground. She has very powerfull telepathy and precognative flashes. Roma chooses her as the new Captain Britain. She must choose between the amulet or the sword. She chooses the sword. The group of mutants lead by Betsy call themselves X-force. Their headquaters is in the morlock tunnels the only place safe for mutants from the terrigan mists.

    I love the idea of Psylocke wielding Excalibur as the new Captain Britain :)

    Not to pick at your idea, just that if they've got a reality Warper, Arcade is kinda useless.

    Lol well can't argue that. Though maybe if Arcade's got access to the Reality Warper and that's how he appeals to the club. Idk, it just seems like once you've got a reality warper on your team you don't need much else.

    It'd be a more lighthearted book focusing on their friendship and the crazy things they get up to. I'm getting tired of all the angst and drama; I want something with comradery, fun adventures, and a character driven narrative.

Lol idk, Wolverine sort of evolved to the point where I just don't see Ninja's randomly attacking him in Vegas as surprising anymore. In fact...nothing really could surprise me with that set up.

    Wolverine wakes up drunk? figures...Baby gets confused with a Bamf? yup.... Colossus' baby mama from the Savage Land shows up?...wait...actually

    @westfriesianman: That's not a bad story arc at all. Especially the mutant underground and Morlocks. That could make for a pretty cool cast too. Of course not as the status quo but for a few arcs it would definitely be intriguing

    @westfriesianman: Yeah that dilemna would be interesting. Of course i'd prefer to see Maximus approach the more villainous mutants like say Mystique or for god's sakes lets make Sabretooth what he's supposed to be and kill this inversion crap. This way we can stop the hero vs. hero bs all the time.

    So lets say Post-Secret wars your 3 favorite X-Men characters star in a book together... Doesn't matter.....

    1) What is the book about? Every issue the X-Men Playing softball.... Every issue.

    2) Who is their bad guy? Every other Issue a classic X-men Villain interrupts their game to fight, or play against them in softball. Who doesn't want to watch the X-Men Vs. Mr Sinister and the Marauders in a game of softball?

    3) Do you think it would succeed? F*** No!

    (I don't want current canon to change at all. Especially not the school and students, so that'll change my response.)

    Anyway... My favs are idiots. This is gonna be bad... Elixir, Quentin Quire and Hellion.

    1) What is the book about? Three arrogant, angsty teenage boys being dumb. Nahh, I dunno. I'd love to see them rebel against JGS.

    2) Who is their bad guy? ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WRONGED THEM (but probably mainly the school tbh) - Like, Josh will be all angsty because the school took everything that was ever good from him (at least, that's how he sees it), Julian will get fed up of being surrounded by people who have no idea what the New X-Men kids went through and finally actually admit to not being okay, and Quentin will just be riot-addicted Quentin and will be well up for helping them take down JGS.

    3) Do you think it would succeed? Oh, c'mon. Julian will just get all feelsy and be like 'but i love this place really', then Josh will probably disappear into comic book limbo for another five years, and Quentin will roll his eyes and say something hipster before going back to whatever it is he does.

    Bonus (Choose the Creative Team): Gillen, McKelvie and Wilson. Because they work so perfectly together that you can never split them, and Gillen writes teenagers so amazingly. Plus, as a Brit, I love British people in the comic industry.

    *also, would be cool if QQ finally came out as bisexual, but whatever*

    Ohhh cool thread.

    Banshee, Colossus, and Magneto.

    1. Three mutants with questionable pasts. They've all been villains in one capacity or another. This is the full crew, in an underground bomb shelter they have made into a base. No more schools, no more students. While still remaining friendly with Scott and Wolverine, they no longer agree with their methods. A rogue crew in a spy thriller type book with the occasional huge throw down.

    2. No permanent grudges/enemies, only those in the way of the current mission.

    3. Possibly

    Rick Remender & Travel Foreman

    Yes I'm reviving Banshee as a non-apocalypse slave.

    A new "Heroes for Hire" in New Orleans with Gambit, Brother Voodoo, Psylocke, Hellcat, Ant-Man and Gargoyle (from the Defenders series). The headquarters is a modified fire house (think Ghostbusters), and they each have their own motorcycle, customized with weapons suiting each of them (Ant-Man and Gargoyle won't need them). I'd give Voodoo a complete make-over (including name), more in line with the comic-based on the game "Shadowman." Two couples...Gambit/Psylocke and Ant-Man/Hellcat. Wouldn't mind Johnny Blaze on the team either, even without the Ghost Rider power.

    despite having nothing to do with the OP's guidelines, this is by far my favorite pitch here.
