I know about his premier work on The Authority & Transmetropolin.
He will just be good at that funny, bitchy interplay between characters that Whedon does so well, going from sarcasm to sweet in the same panels. He will keep the same tone from before, which is why I think he's a good choice. Someone like Chris Claremont or Jeph Loeb, would be too much a swing in a different direction.

. The man just got kicked off all X-Universe comics involving 616 mainstream timeline continuity. They need to keep the man in a corner and forget about him.

No argument here. Claremont ran dry of ideas for X-Men by 1989, but kept going. His Wolverine writing was so bad, it was a relief to see Peter David & Archie Goodwin take over for him back then.

I didn't like the first issue of this, the dialogue got on my nerves a bit.

And Storm looked really stupid IMO.

But it will most likely pick up as the series goes on.

I've liked what I've read of Ellis' work before, but I suppose I'll have to wait and see whether I like Ellis' take on this book though, what changes are made, to the style and tone, to the line-up (from that very rough preview image, one could possibly hazard a guess that X-23 may be graduating from the kids' table, but then again it's a very rough preview - none of those characters may be in the team), whether he can capture their personalities and dynamics.

I like the current line-up though, hope he at least keeps Emma Frost and Kitty Pryde in there.

Emma Frost and who?

Oops.

I wanted Kitty to be in this line-up as well. She's probably my favourite character.
