There's a lot of writer and artist shuffling going on with the X-books in the coming months, but which creative team are you most anxious to see?

I can't wait to see Bendis work his magic on UXM, and Finch's art is crisp and detailed, so it's a win-win.

I don’t read Ultimate X-Men, Soldier X, or Wolverine so I’m pretty indifferent about the creative changes. I just don’t care enough about the works of any of the incoming creators to try out the book either.

Agent X is a favorite of mine and I’ve heard enough good things about the incoming talent (especially Dorkin) that I’m going to give the new teams a try. However, since I’ve seen any of their prior work and I’m still mourning the loss of Gail (see you on BoP) and Udon(looking forward to seeing how Sentinel turns out) I can’t really say I’m “looking forward to” any of the changes. I’m just optimistic about them.

Walker’s name doesn’t ring a bell (but then I don’t generally follow artists anyway) so I can’t comment one way or the other.

I’m actually kind of dreading Chuck Austin’s Exiles. It isn’t that I don’t think he can be a good writer (US War Machine was a lot of fun). I just really don’t care for the way he portrays women and the Exiles are two thirds female. I’m also a bit worried that some of the more powerful members will suffer the same fate as the (former) powerhouses/badasses in Uncanny.

Jimenez and Morrison is a team that I’ve seen (and enjoyed) before so that was what I wound up voting for. Besides, it will be nice to see New with a semi-regular artist.

I'm really looking forward to Dorkin's brand of humour for the merc with a mouth. Plus, it's with Bobillo & Sosa's art. Not sure they could pull off humour scenes though, but this'll test their versatility and be interesting to follow. And that ain't bad at all.

My vote is with Bendis & Finch on Ultimate X-Men. I've enjoyed reading the book and I can't wait to see what's in store for us.

You know, at first I really didn't get into Austen's work. But now I think he's done a really boffo job of bringing Nightcrawler and Archangel and all the rest of the Uncanny gang to life on the page. So I'll be really curious to see what he does with the Exiles gang, especially since I'm dying to know more about these reality-skippers.

The Austen plus "Unamed" on Exiles is Clayton Henry who penciled the Mystique story in X Men Unlimited 40. He all but confirmed it in one of the Exiles forums and also you can tell by the artwork featured in the letters page of issue 22.
I vote for Rucka and Robertsons Wolverine anyway

I said Agent X, although I'd still rather Simone stayed.

I voted for Rucka & Robertson. I have been a fan if Rucka since his pre-Batman days, and I think he can do a really good Wolvie story.

The only titles on the list that I read are New X-Men and Ultimate X-Men and the occasional issue of Wolverine. So I voted for Bendis and Finch on Ultimate X-Men(I really can't wait to see how Return of the King plays out) although I'm quite looking forward to Jimenez on New X-Men with Morrison because the story sounds pretty cool.....

For what, killing ONE character (who might not be dead... we'll find out next issue)? Beh...

I voted for Bollers and Ranson (sp) for Soldier X myself...

I'm going with Austen because he has big plans for Exiles and Uncanny and hopefully Blink would jump into 616 and join the Uncanny book

I voted for Morrison Jimenez one

Phil is a great artist and anyway 139-40 have the Emma vs. Jean cat fight and a death. I can't wait.

I'm not thrilled about Austen's portrayal of the Uncanny team at the moment but I haven't read any of his other work. I'm reserving judgement until I have seen his Exiles team for myself. It's always awful when a new writer comes on board after a solid performance from the previous one but give him a chance.

As for me, I can't wait for either Wolverine or Ultimate X-Men.

By far Rucka and Darick on Wolverine cause that is the only one I care about even though I'm going to start picking up the other X-Men now. I stop picking up X-Men cause the Plots were crap on a stick.
