"Children of the Atom" The end of the X-Men name?
The solicitations for April have a new title called "Children of the Atom" that to me suspiciously looks like an X-Men title relaunch.
I'm calling it here and now this is going to be the title of the upcoming Disney MCU "X-Men" films.

apparently those 5 X-Men will all have proteges or sidekicks.
I think what Jonathan Hickman did with the X-Men is fantastic but I think that what Marvel is starting to do now is what they did in the 90's/early 2000's where there were X-Men books coming out non stop. I can understand wanting to expand on a good thing but I still think that is going to take sales away from other books (and it looks like Fallen Angels has ended with #6).

My concern is that this is an early indicator that Disney/ Marvel wants to stop using "X-Men" as it has been previously stated that it is somewhat dated for the current politically correct climate.

gotcha
I could see a movie title like "X-Men-Children of the Atom"
I will probably not be buying this book but I do like the cover.

X-Men is too recognizable a brand to abandon.

Marvel producer thinks the 'X-Men' name is outdated
"There's a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group."

Well, we have seen how well they did with the Star Wars movies. This is not a surprise to me at all. They can call the new team "Gender Fluid Humans" But wait...huMAN has Man in it too so that will not work. Maybe "Non Specific Beings"?

X-Persons? (((Shrug)))
I went over to a friend's house the other day and he had a group of people there and I said "Hey Guys" and this girl there got all offended I would say that because there were girls there to... It's like where does it end?
Now these female producers and actresses want to create chick flicks out of the MCU... A movie about Dark Phoneix and Thor dating? WTF?
