July 2018 Solicitations
https://www.newsarama.com/39545-marvel-comics-july-2018-solicitations.html
The major news from this is that Gold & Blue are confirmed for at least another arc with the same creative teams and there is a secret book coming out that has zero details.
X-men Red: The Charest cover with Gentle is beautiful. I'm a huge fan of individual character covers. They remind me of the Morrison New X-men era. I think the consistency of Asrar on art and Charest on covers really helps give this book a memorable identity. This might be too bold or too soon, but I almost consider Taylor to be the best X-writer since Morrison. I am so happy that one of my favourite writers is writing my favourite character with stellar art for at least 12 glorious issues.
X-23: Phrases like "Fresh Start" and "back to roots" frustrate me. The solicitation kinda confirms a regression. I hope she at least continues to work the with Orphans of X, but the first issue is going to have to address why Laura is using the name that dehumanized her. Her new costume isn't the travesty I was expecting, but why does she have to wear a costume that shows her midriff now that she isn't Wolverine? Honestly, just use her Red costume. Tamaki wrote a fantastic graphic novel called Skim. She is a talented writer so I'll try to not hold continuity against her.
X-men Blue: This actually looks interesting lol, despite the O5's return. What does Emma do that both provokes Magneto's wrath and deserves the X-men's protection? I kinda like the idea of a Magneto vs Emma conflict, as long as Bunn starts treating Emma with the same nuance and care that he gives to Magneto. I hope the new team sticks around because I need my Daken fix.
X-men Gold: "The Dark Rachel Saga" sounds like a parody.
The cover for Cable is really nice. Is this series worth reading?
I'll continue to get New Mutants because I love this team and the supernatural stuff. Why isn't Rictor on the cover? The Multiple Man cover is a lot of fun, I will pick this series up.
I'm going to skip all of the Logan stuff and ignore that he is coming back until I absolutely can't anymore.
X-Classified : hmmm... New Uncanny? New Xavier (X) series (hope not)? Storm?

just wait when MCU X-Men is on the way, there would be like 20 x titles per month.
