Marvel Reveals Post-Messiah Complex Solicitations
Marvel has released full solicitations (covers and descriptions had previously been classified) for all of the X-Titles from February through April. The new era for mutants is called Divided We Stand and it looks to shake up the status quo. I'm waiting on the trades to catch up with Complex, but for anyone caught up, how does this new direction sound? Is it Brand New Day bad, or Age of Apocalypse good?
Newsarama has the full details.

SPOILERS for the end of MC obviously!
I'm fairly worried about the new line-up.
The biggest problem I have is that it seems like they're taking away almost all the interesting characters from NXM in this new Young X-men. I want Anole on an active team damn it. And why introduce two new characters we never saw before when the whole Decimation crap was about there being too many mutant characters being added to the MU. There was a big cast of supporting characters in NXM which could have easilly been used for those two spots on the team.
Also, I hate Cable, so I'm not happy about him getting a new series.
Legacy sounds interesting as an offbeat homage type book. Though why use the same numbering as X-men? Just start anew.
New Exiles doesn't seem all that new to me. Nothing about it striked me as being all that special and diferent from the old series (not MC related, but I wanted to mention it).
Another thing that bothers me is that supposedly they were gonna trim the X-line, but they have just as many if not more books than before MC.
I really hope they dont muck up the new x-men, its one of the x-series, besides x-factor, that I am really getting into. Plus they better not get rid of Anole, or for that matter most of the new x-men. Is new x-men being replaced by young x-men?
Yes, but from the first sollicit and interviews it seems like only Rockslide, Dust and a highly OOC Blindfold will be staying on the team.
Fanrumour has it though that the new Brotherhood they're being sent up against will be composed of former NXM and that the focus of the book will switch to them.
The writer also mentioned the original New Mutants playing a big part or something. Another thing I'm not too keen on. I was never that big a fan of them. In fact, I downright hate Cannonball.
