The opinions of the posters on this forum are very diverse (which is a good thing), and I would say that this poll can actually say something about how this book will sell (to a limit).
Will you be reading it?

i am giving the title a shot, but to be honest unless the book is very good i probably will not stick around past the opening arc. i am a little leary after the last new claremont series.

Huge Juggernaut fan here. So as long as Cain has a bunch of page time in this series, I will stick with it. But if Juggernaut is not one of the main focal points, I am gone.

It has alot going for it-
I love the penciler. I'm dying to see Dazzler in action. I really like Juggy as a hero. Captain Britain and Pete Wisdom are faves of mine as well.
But I dunno if I can take Cleremont's writing. I really want it to be good. I'll check out the first issue or two and keep my fingers crossed.

if Claremont goes back to the leve of writing on X-Treme, yeah. if it's jsut gonna me more mediocre spandex crap like Uncanny- prolly not.
Since Chris Claremont is writing the book, yes, it's on my pull list. I want to see what he can do with Dazzler since he professed earlier he had nothing more to "say" with her character. I also like the other characters: Captain Britain, Juggernaut, Nocturne, & Peter Wisdom. I am more interested in Sage's story. Hopefully, he will develop Sage's character further in New Excalibur with her conflicts with X-Men & the Hellfire Club.

I will definitely give this book a try and hope for the best. I really want to like it, as Juggernaut and Nocturne are two of my favorite characters. Wisdom and Sage and Dazzler are very cool, as well. Captain Britain is awesome.
However, I have disliked Claremont's Uncanny as of late. It was awesome until right after the X-23 arc, at which point it slid a lot in quality.
I dropped his last Excalibur book as well, so we'll see. But yes I will buy this, and yes I am optimistic.

I will definitely be giving it a try. I've really liked Juggernaut and Nocturne lately, always liked Sage, Dazzler, and Captain Britain, but haven't liked Pete Wisdom much at all... ever. So hopfully it will be better than his preview Excalibur series, which I dropped after two issues.

It's got Claremont's name on it, I'll be reading it. My favorite character of the group is Nocturne, so I'm not really buying it for the team members, but more the concept. Take a team of B-listers and keep mixing them up and eventually you hit the right mix and concept and it turns them into A-listers. One never really knows when it'll happen, so I'm giving it a chance for at least the first year.

I thought Claremont's first arc was good, the Hellfire one kinda maybe me a lil iffy but most of that was the art, but the Savage Land arc I loved and am looking forward to his End of Grey's arc in Uncanny, if he can keep up the level of writing he has shown of late than yup I'm in. The characters are interesting enough for me to like so here's hoping it's gonna be good.

Here, here, DDM.
Of course, I am only picking it up because Dazzler's in it. It sounded like a good concept when announced -- a new Dazzler/Juggernaut title.
... Then it was attached to Claremont.
... Then it was an "Excalibur" relaunch.
... Then it was set in England.
... Then the other announced team members were Nocturne, Pete Wisdom, Sage, and Captain Britian.
It's sad when you have to pull a bootleg Nightcrawler, Gambit, Psylocke, and Captain America, and your flagship characters are Juggernaut and Dazzler (a character the writer previously ran into the ground). He should have pulled characters like Magma, Rictor, Sunfire, Tarot, hell, even Jubilee.
So I am less than optomistic. I would much rather read X-Factor out of any of the post-HoM titles, but I have to be a Dazzler loyalist and buy this book. *sigh*

I'll pick up the first issue, but I seriously doubt Claremont has what it takes to hook me. Lately, his work just absolutely has not been to my taste, and the inclusion of Sage and Nocturne (yet another time-lossed child from the future) doesn't help at all. I'm also dreading his portrayal of Pete Wisdom. I'll give it a chance, but he better pull something special out of his hat in the first issue or two, or I'll be dropping.

She doesnt have telepathy anymore. She shut it off so she wont become vulnerable so easily to Elias Bogan. So what's wrong with those powers? That's certainly not everything!!!! And how does that make her boring? Her history (or what we know of it) is very intriguing. Her problematic relationship with Xavier is something I would always love to read about. She has a cool look and she has a cool style. Her Hellfire Club history is very interesting. I love going back and reading all of those hints (Uncanny X-men 189, Marvel Graphic Novel 4, Uncanny X-men 209, etc) that there is more to her than meets the eye. I dont see how she can possibly be boring. It seems fun. And i`m a huge Captain Britain fan. I just hope he will have his boiling temper personality he had back then in the orig. Excalibur. I`m worried because when CC brought back Rachel she was nothing like the old one. CC needs to....remember! Then youre probably going to want to read Uncanny X-men 466-468. Claremont is bringing back the old Rachel. He cant just bring her back to her old self the moment he reveals she was Bogan's pet. not as much as havok or polaris thoughThey arent boring. Sage is much more interesting then them, but they arent really boring.

Terry Kavanaugh gave Tessa telepathic powers in the X-Man 1996 Annual; unfortunately, Kavanaugh & the X-editors never understood Tessa's powers at all: Tessa is a mutant computer--not a telepath. Chris Claremont intergrated this fallacy because Kavanaugh established Tessa's so-called telepathy in the annual. Chris Claremont put Tessa back to status quo with the creation of Elias Bogan to explain the loss of her telepathy.

Claremont's abilities seem largely dependant on his collaborator I think. While I've loved every Alan Davis issue so far on Uncanny, everything else was rather forgettable (though Copiel's work was okay).
This worries me a little on New Excalibur. While I liked Michael Ryan's work on Cable and New X-Men quite a bit, I do sort of wish we'd gotten a more dynamic artist for Claremont on this book. Chris Bachalo, Stuart Immonen or (especially) Rick Leonardi would've been fantastic I think.

Claremont never really established what Tessa's powers were until X-Men Revolution. Terry Kavanagh's use of Tessa throughout X-Man was fine.

Pretty much. Ryan Sook's stunning X-Factor art is sort making me wish Marvel had shot a little higher for Excalibur though. What's Rick Leonardi up to these days anyway? I can just imagine how amazing his Nocturne would look...
Tessa was a telepath. She had the ability, but she shut it down during the Six Month Gap after she was attacked by Bogan (where Storm rescued her). She was a telepath.
Claremont never really established what Tessa's powers were until X-Men Revolution. Terry Kavanagh's use of Tessa throughout X-Man was fine.
When someone at another message board asked about Tessa's telepathy, Chris Claremont was mystified. He said that Tessa was never meant to be a telepath. He said she was always meant to be a human computer. This was right before Claremont was hired to write Uncanny X-Men & X-Men the second time.
If you read Tessa's prior appearances--such as Classic X-Men #7, Uncanny X-Men #169, 182, 189, 208-209, 246-247, Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants--Tessa does not manifest any telepathy. She recalls what she sees with her computer mind. Tessa only had to look at Nimrod to see they were dealing with a Sentinel in Uncanny X-Men #209; on the other hand, Kitty had to phase into Nimrod to discover they were dealing with a robot in Uncanny X-Men #194 (The X-Men assumed they were fighting an armored human).
If Tessa was truly a telepath, she would have been able to read Edward Buckman's mind to know he was behind Project: Armageddon as a means to destroy all mutants. However, Tessa did not know his plans because she does not have telepathy. Emma Frost discovered Buckman's true plans when she read Michael Rossi's mind. Tessa did not have enough data about Buckman's intentions in Classic X-Men #7.
Chris Claremont established Tessa's powers over several issues of Uncanny X-Men to be that of a human computer. He may has always intended for Tessa to be Xavier's secret double agent given we the readers were never given enough information about her. All we know about Tessa is she used to be Sebastian Shaw's personal assistant & always by his side. Claremont never intended for Tessa to be a telepath.

I will definately be reading the first arc at least, which seems to be the consensus. Maybe CC will notice this and stretch his "first arc" out for years to keep stringing us along: ). CC blows hot and cold with me: DP (hot), Inferno (hot), First half of Excalibur III (hot), second half of Excalibur III (cold), Chasing Helfire (cold), etc. So, I will give him a shot, plus I love Alison and Cain, which along with Braddock seem to be the biggest draw on this book. I'm not sure how this will work as an "Excalibur" book though since the only Europenas on the team are Wisdom and CB, of course Kurt, Rachel, and Kitty were all Americans too, so we'll see. In any case, I am optimistic. At his best, CC is the BEST X-writer, at his worst...well you know. But I have tremendous respect for CC and his writing potential.

08-23-2005, 01:49 PM
I'll be picking this one up so long as the characters ring true, Claremont has something to say and doesn't rehash stories, and the art isn't too average. I'm skeptical about Ryan. His art is rather....hmmm, average isn't the word really. It lacks a certain pizzaz. Perhaps the creative duo will bring out the best in one another. I hope so. Claremont is tackling several characters others have created/done different things with (Juggs, Wisdom, Nocturne) and several characters he's played with and seemed to have lost interest in (Dazzler, CB, Sage.) I hope this hodge podge works. All new all different all over again....
Is Meggan a British citizen?
Her origin is still unknown, but, since her lifeforce is bound to Britain, she must be a British citizen. Meggan remains illiterate given she was abandoned by her parents after she was born when her shapeshifting mutant power reacted to the cold to give her fur.

Meggan knows how to write on a pre-school level. She's learned much from just watching television. Otherwise, no, Kitty & Kurt were too busy with their own lives to teach Meggan anything.

Meggan wasn't left by her parents, she was seperated from them when Jaspers incarcerated all superhumans, but Meggan herself mentions in that Captain Britain issue that her father was fighting that law and the old gypsy told her how her parents hid her in their van.
Meggan was tutored by Kitty and Brian off-panel and her reading comprehension was enough to have her helping screen the Black Air/Hellfire Club connections.

Either Claremont or Juggernaut would make this a must buy for me. Seperately I think they've been two of the best things in the x-universe for a couple years. Together . . . my expectations or high.
To be fair though, even if neither of those two ingredients were involved I'd still be picking this up. I'm a suvker for x-books and I'm a sucker for team books in general.

When was that revealed?Yeah, that was Uncanny X-Men 217. Dazzler encounters Juggernaut. Dazzler recognizes Juggernaut from the X-Men's super villain files thing, and she attacks him. He tells her to stop, because he doesnt want to fight and he loves her music. She doesnt listen. Juggernaut defends himself, and accidently KO's her. He freaks out, and buries her (he thought she was dead). So yes, he buried her alive. The X-Men came, and dealt with it. Dazzler was okay.

Excalibur has my favourite X-writer (Claremont) writing one of my favourite characters (Captain Britain). I'm definitely there. I'm not a fan of Michael Ryan's artwork, but I don't dislike his style enough to not buy the book.
Also, I'm hoping for some cool interaction between Juggernaut and Dazzler. He is her biggest fan after all.
What is it with big tough nigh-invincible guys that barrell into things with their head being fans of Dazzler? Both Juggernaut and Rhino claim to be her biggest fans

I'll definitely be checking this book out though I have to admit, while I was a great fan of the original Excalibur, I'm not terribly enthused about the new lineup. CB is cool, but I never really found him emotionally involving. The same goes for Daz, Juggs, and Sage. I am curious about Nocturne though and Pete Wisdom can be fun so I'll give it a shot. It will be interesting to see how they gel as a team.

Big invulnerable type guys all secretly love disco. In fact, both probably dressed up as John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever for halloween.
When was that revealed?

Ah, those are some classic issues.
I've noticed that CBR seems to be a real gathering place for Dazzler fans. It's great to see so much love for her here.
Maybe Marvel needs a Rhino/Juggernaut/Novaya Havoc/Vegetarian Goat battle for the right to call themselves Dazzler's biggest fan.

You know what would be unique and fun to see....if Cain Marko and Dazzler hooked up in Excalibur. That would be funny in a way.
