Extermination has been a pretty good X-event and I am really excited to see where it leaves our favorite X-Men and in what state.
That bigger way is the relaunch of the Uncanny X-Men as a weekly maxiseries for now which is said to be setting up the stage for the next phase.

I am personally a huge fan of this and think it is a wonderful idea. I think it seems to comprise the entire X-Universe and the fact that cyclops could be returning is worth it.

DEAD MEANS DEAD.
The writing’s been on the wall for months now… Logan is dying. And he ain’t getting any better. Sick from the Adamantium coating his skeleton, his search for a cure has led to nothing but dead ends. But for once he’s actually trying to leave this world with some unfinished business… Can Logan take his last breath without slaughtering the X-Men again? Not if Mysterio has anything to say about it…
Superstar creative team ED BRISSON (OLD MAN LOGAN, UNCANNY X-MEN) and MIKE HENDERSON (DEADPOOL VS. OLD MAN LOGAN), with covers by DECLAN SHALVEY (MOON KNIGHT), is putting this old dog out of his misery with a bang!

A little look into the characters who are gonna play out solo. Old Man Logan is gonna die soon. Wolverine is returning and will soon be in a solo. Rogue and Gambit has been great and X-23 too has been spectacular. I am gonna be following these guys closely as they seem to be the only x titles still running. They are all really good and definitely deserve it though.
This is the next phase of the X-Men where they are back at Disney and Marvel doesn’t have any more rules about not using them in a big way and that is gonna be so good.
