Some Reaction to Brian Wood’s All Women X-Men Isn’t Shocking

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Brett

Yesterday it was announced Brian Wood‘s X-Men will feature a full female team. It quickly shot up as one of the top comics I’m looking forward to in 2013 (it’s Wood + X-Men = What’s not to like). Not shockingly the reaction to the awesomeness this will be wasn’t all puppies and rainbows. Queue misogyny in 3…2…1…

Saw this online: "Where's the all-male team that's going to have to clean up this team's mess every other mission?" Good times ahead!

A lot of comments commented that the title of the book should be “X-Women” to which Wood retorted and asked when these women stopped being X-Men.
