The kids are alright?
Students of the Jean Grey School survived the Hellfire Saga and are caught up in the Battle of the Atom. The staff of the school will go on an adventure into the unknown in search of Nightcrawler in Amazing X-Men #1 .Jason Aaron tells Comic Book Resources which students are coming back to Wolverine and the X-Men.
“At this point, I’m not looking to expand the cast of WatXM. Believe me, I’ve got enough characters as it is. If anything, I’ll be looking to refocus a bit in coming months, after all the big craziness of the Hellfire Saga and Battle of the Atom” have passed. There are some characters we won’t have seen for quite a while by then (Hey, whatever happened to that Kid Gladiator guy?). So we’ll be catching up with them instead of introducing any new faces.
Genesis is one of the characters we’ll be catching up with in “WatXM” right after Battle of the Atom. And yeah, there’s still a lot of story to be told with Evan.
One fan asked why Rachel and Kitty are part of the squad attempting to bring Nightcrawler home:
“Who’s to say they’re not part of the team? As I’ve said, the potential cast of Amazing X-Men will include anyone who’s a teacher at the Jean Grey School or anyone who’s on Wolverine’s side. So yes, we do see Rachel in Amazing #1, along with Angel and Warbird, but those characters just aren’t part of the main team for the bulk of this first arc. Going forward though, I’m sure we’ll see them from time to time. As for Kitty… maybe you’d better just wait and read Battle of the Atom.
Kitty Pryde fans take note! That’s the second X-writer to hint that big changes are in store for Miss Pryde after the current crossover. Brian Michael Bendis hinted that her status quo may change after BOTA and this Uncanny X-Men cover is more evidence!
