Massive X-Universe Crossover Summer '07

http://www.newsarama.com/NewJoeFridays/NJF_26.html

"Cable's going to be somewhat on the sidelines in Primary Infection but very much front and centre in Condition Critical. I can't say anything about X-crossovers at this stage, but I can say that in the Summer of '07 Cable is going to be in the spotlight in an extreme and spectacular way."

So how big is this X-Crossover? Is it going to involve the X-Universe as a whole, or is it pretty much just gonna be the X-Men? Will any characters outside the X-Universe be involved, i.e. Spider-Man, the Avengers, FF, etc.?

RQ: Elixir - So we've known for a while about the "smaller than Civil War" scale World War Hulk, but now judging by what has been said in recent interviews, there's also going to be a big X-event around summer 2007, involving all the X books as well as "something big" going on with the Spider-Man line and being told that it's going to be "Spider-Man's year"...

With confirmation that World War Hulk will be having at least some spin offs (a three-part X-Men: World War Hulk has been briefly mentioned), isn't this getting a bit much? I mean, if the stories are good then fine, but at some point we need some breathing space between events.

I mean X only just had HoM and Decimation, Spidey recently had "The Other"...

And won't having three things running at once cause them to take attention away from each other?

JQ: Barthufo, while it's too early to give details about this, it's going to be pretty huge within the context of the X universe. The event will involve virtually everyone in the X-Men Universe. It will be structured as an old-school X-Men event, cutting across several titles over three months. The inciting incident will be huge, and its shock waves will be felt for years. Will it involve other Marvel characters, I can say for certain, but in it's early stages the answer is no.

Sounds very "Sinister"...Discuss...

As long as it doesnt end up being complete shite, i'll give it a look...

My theory: Gambit and Sinister and the repowerment of mutants...it's going to be shit. 😐

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

"the '90s were dominated by the use of gimmickry to boost sales, such as variant covers, cover enhancements, regular company-wide crossovers that threw the universe's continuity into disarray" 🙁

All marvel plans to do is rehash an old stategy 😒

Last time didnt they almost go bankrupt? 😑 some people never learn 🙄

i wish marvel would stop doing crossovers... hell if they just had a break for a couple of years or so then it would be alot better. give them a chance for their brains to find their bodies

Am I the only one who thinks there going to revive Jean Grey in the thing? It does say it will be an old school event and you cant get much more old school than having all of the original x-men in it.

Jean Grey coming back to life really isn't that big of a deal, in my opinion. She'll die ten issues later.

Xmen would'nt be if were'nt for Marvel girl I think her role is key for future xmen titles so as Wolverine.
Crossovers are really good I like to see another Xmen Wldcats crossover

X-Men #200 cover:

Can't they just keep her dead. 😐

I think for all purposes the Sacred Cow will stay dead along with Banshee, Sway, Petra etc and possibly Rachel in the next few issues of UXM. It seems more like a tribute since it's the 200th issue and all.

No well not yet anyway 😛 . I'm just assuming she will seeing how she's back to being Phoenix and what not.

I hope this sells.

I wonder if this is a dedication page to half the people on the cover...cos either half of them are dead, de-powered or in an alternate reality. Speaking of alternate reality....is that Mimic from exiles in the back just under Northstar's arm?

Damn...really sorry about that. Well to be fair everything I've said is not entirely "true".

Anyway lucky...the arc is boring and sucky...you're not missing much.
