Interesting rumor is going around on the comic boards.
The new writer for the New X-Men title is supposedly Joss Whedon. There is a implication that this hasn't been announced yet because they need to finesse their way around his employment contract with the studios.
How accurate is this? It's on more than one site, and supposedly with independent confirmation, but it is still a rumor. I put it in more than fifty/fifty correct, but not much more than that...
Wanna talk over in Bitches?
Is this true? Joss is writing X-Men?
Not that I'm the expert - but the last thing I saw in print was in Wizard magazine and it said he had been mentioned (but it didn't even say he was an official mention - just like a "wouldn't it be cool if") and the odds were 50 to 1.
I think they are even higher than that. For a tons of reasons, mostly time. And him not having enough of it.
Is this true? Joss is writing X-Men?
The rumor's been out there for awhile, and I'll admit, it's persisted longer than most of the thousand other rumors. (Warren Ellis--the other favorite--had to make a categorical denial on his e-mail list to convince people that he wasn't the new writer.
John Cassady, however, is more or less confirmed.
If
Tim
were writing it he would kill Storm or ita.
I think ita's objections to Storm are entirely based on the live action portrayal, Trudy. (As are mine...) Comic Book!Storm rocks.
