Hmmmmm... according to the article, X-treme is one of Marvel's best selling titles, so naturally they cancel it to re-introduce a title that was previously cancelled.
Interesting.
Maybe instead of launching new titles, they should clean up the crap that Uncanny has become...

Yeah, I'm definately looking forward to it! Now if only I can be sure the X-Men are going to be in it, or at least my favorite X-Men ...

As long as it's got Kitty & Lockheed (and not even so much as a cameo of Pete Wisdom) I'll be happy!

Austen is leaving Uncanny? Confirmed? If so, I am very happy. I have to get the book because Larocca is on art chores -but the current storyline might have promise.
Excalibur was my favorite x-book. With Claremont and Davis then it shall be so again.

uhmmm... I'm sorry?
I guess I read through the thread too quickly.
Alan Davis on anything has my money. Pair him with Claremont and its all good. If Larocca is leaving Uncanny then I am completely signed on if he goes to Excalibur. I can't stand the current X-Treme art team.

So, let me get this straight: Davis is doing Excalibur, right? Davis, Excalibur? [waiting to see if that vein in SoM's forehead will pop]

Oh dear. I do hope that Captain Britain and Meggan come back. How can you have an Excalibur without Captain Britain and Meggan?

I loved Alan Davis's original run on Excalibur -- it's one of my all-time favorites. Loved Cap and Meggan, Nightcrawler and Kitty, and especially Rachel in her red, spiky dominatrix outfit.
Even the one-issue Excalibur crossover with "Inferno" was memorable. (While the group is flying on their own power over the Atlantic, Kitty has to use the bathroom. Cap asks: "Couldn't you, er, phase?")

i just got an email from a member of my Olivier Coipel Yahoo Group and he said a friend of his was at a comic convention at Angouleme ..... attending was Olivier and Chris Claremont !!! and he said they looked like they were in the midst of planning on working together on an "X-Men" title !!!
could it be the new ...... "Excalibur" ????
i've just sent an email to Olivier, to see if he can confirm anything [ but as i haven't heard anything from him in a couple of weeks, we have have to wait a while !!! ]
Matthew.

I know...I did say I "hope"! You'll have to forgive me my excitement just a bit, but Excalibur was always my favorite X-Title, and Coipel's art is one of the main reasons I started reading Legion Well, that, and the fact that my brother is buying me a page of original artwork by Coipel for my birthday next month!!!
