[-K-M-]

Yeah I could see that happening to be honest. Sales have been slipping and pretty much all the other X-Books have been rebooted.

[Chris]

Please relaunch Astonishing with Northstar again and add Madison Jeffries. Jeffries has been in comic-limbo since AvX ended.

[Phil]

Jeffries needs to be somewhere but I don't think Astonishing is the right place for him.
Maybe the relaunched X-Factor...

[Sypes]

If you were the one charged for the relaunched and you have seven spots to fill, who would be part of your team (realisticly of course, aka Wolverine will likely always be part of any and all x-men team!)?

[Phil]

With a realistic use of who's not being used in the X-Verse right now, rather than a skewed personal/AF bias?

Cannonball
Cecilia Reyes
Chamber
Frenzy
Gambit
Karma
Northstar

but I imagine that'd sell poorly.

[Flightpath07]

I'd go with

Magik
Nightcrawler (back from the dead)
Wolverine
Deadpool
Longshot
Flatman
and Lightspeed

I don't know why.

Do I need a reason? Hopefully not; I rarely USE reason, let alone have any.

[Chris]

My team with skewed personal/AF bias

Wolverine
Northstar
Madison Jeffries
Magma
Mimic
Polaris
Banshee (Sean Cassidy who just came back from the dead)

[Mokole]

Maybe the reboot is the AI storyline?

[Phil]

Doubtful. I don't think it'll be connected to anything, but if it is, it'll probably tie in to the fallout from Battle Of The Atom.

[Le Messor]

Do we have any reason to believe it'll be rebooted, other than it's up to 6 issues already, and according to comics companies that's too many to keep track of, we must reset so people can keep it straight?

Out of curiosity, what volume is it, btw? There was an AoA mini-, then the Joss Whedon version... is the current run a third or still the second? (I'm pretty sure it's the third.)

Astonishing X-Men, not Uncanny X-Force mate.

Astonishing is up to #68 at least. And it's the third title to take the name, still a continuation of the Whedon run.

[Le Messor]

Astonishing X-Men, not Uncanny X-Force mate.

Yep! I knew that... I used 6 issues because I had no clue what it was up to, so I exaggerated.
It's part of the Whedon-begun series, but also v3? What am I missing?

[Phil]

Ahh, apologies!

Volume One (1995 AoA)
Volume Two (1999 Miniseries)
Volume Three (2004 Ongoing)

When I saw Avengers A.I. I thought it was Jeffries and for a second I was super excited. Then I found out that it wasn't him. He needs to come back! On that note, Northstar needs to remain in the spotlight.
