The new X-Men roster was unveiled in the new Hellfire Gala event comic yesterday. I really enjoyed the issue, and I super enjoy the whole Hellfire Gala concept. It’s a really fun yearly event. And I still love the idea of voting for the X-Men roster. This is who they picked:

I like the team. Solid core with Cyclops, Jean and Synch, and the other choices are cool. I’m sure wirter Gerry Duggan has plenty of good plans for them. Iceman is one of my favorite X-Men, so I’m glad he’s on the team. And Firestar is an inspired choice. But no sign of Mimic, Multiple Man, Blob, Toad or even Abyss. Maybe someday.

(Still no signs of Mimic at all on Krakoa…)

Anyway, I voted for Avalanche to join, but he didn’t make the cut.

Oh well. There’s always next year! I should do a List of Six on which mutants I want voted onto the core X-Men team. Should be a good year of X-Men comics!
