Combing thru my Wizard's for the Harras or Alpha Flight series 2 mention ( where they remark that it ended due to his leaving) I came across this fun spoilers. In fact Kelly and Seagle had plans to split the 2 books on different paths.
Seagle: His plans were to use the 70's Mutants like Wolverine , Colossas and Storm. Cyclops was to lead this team . It was gonna be a more active team and a future story-arc was set up by plots where Jean Grey's powers start growing as someone who has watched during the original "Dark Pheonix Saga " shows up.
Kelly: Had plans to use Celia Reyes , Marrow , and Cannonball on his team. He also talked about using Kitty Pryde !
Wow....why did the editors f-ck this up ? I would have loved to seen what these 2 had planned.

The question really isn't "why?" We know why. They weren't smart.
The REAL question is "how?" How on Earth could they be so stupid?

Yeah, if I remember right, Kelly's team was going to include Beast as sort of a leader/mentor figure, plus Cannonball, Cecelia Reyes, Marrow, Maggott, and I think Kitty.
I'm dissapointed that it didn't pull through either, I really enjoyed their tenure on the books. Kelly's X-Men led me to his Deadpool, which lead me to his JLA (which I liked) which led to his JLElite (which I thought was fun in an action movie sort of way)

Seagles' run was meh but i think he would have had great characters to use.
kelly's run was actually very good and very underrated. One of the top 4 writers have to done the X-books justice (even though it was a very short run) so I think this plan would have worked very well for him, as well.Pull list: Defenders, All New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny X-Force, Astonishing X-Men, X-Men, Cable & X-Force, Wolverine & The X-men, X-Factor, Avengers, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Dark Avengers

I heard about Seagle planning that Dark Phoenix Saga gimmick. I'm glad Bob Harras did something right by nixing it.

Why b/c your hero wasn't writing it? Why shouldn't another writer be allowed to make another Dark Phoenix story? Originally Posted by fishtaco

I gotta clear this up. From what I read of Seagle's plot it was that Jean's powers would start manifesting more like the Phoenix and a figure who has watched since the " DP Saga " would emerge. It could have been something really different. We'll never know.
And where is Steven T Seagle now ?"Heads up-- If Havok's position in UA #5 really upset you, it's time to drown yourself hobo piss. Seriously, do it. It's the only solution." - Rick Remender

i really enjoyed the x-books when seagle/kelly were writing them.
i wish they could have stuck around longer, but it's well in the past now.
/i'm actually finding it odd to think that x-men 70 came out that long ago.
//feeling old, even though i know others are older around here.and i'm counting 1, counting 2, counting 3...
