You asked for it, X-Fans, and now, you got it! Marvel.com asked you what Chris Claremont’s next project should be. You, the fans, said you wanted to know what today’s new generation of X-Men would be like if the Marvel Universe aged in real-time! Who are the children of the X-Men? And what happened to the original team, Professor X, and Magneto after over 30 years of conflict, victories, and tragedies? Now, at last, the answers arrive as beloved X-Men scribe Chris Claremont reveals an all-new generation of mutant teens!

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...

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?

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.

@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.

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!)

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.

Yeah, this doesn't interest me at all.

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

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.

Aren't there enough young X-somethings crawling around the Marvel U now?
