There is an Excalibur series right now that focuses on Professor X, Magneto, Calisto and a bunch of other mutant's struggles to rebuild Genosha. Or at least I think that is what the series is about. I'm not sure, I don't really read the book. I'm pretty sure that Scarlet Witch is in the book right now following the "Disassembled" story in Avengers that turned her into a "villain."
Something tells me that after the upcoming "House of M" storyline is said and done, the current Excalibur series will be done and over. Leaving room for the more familiar adventure oriented title.
But I have to agree with Enchantress. If they decide to use Chuck Austen's female Captain Britain instead of the Brian Braddock version, I won't even consider reading the book. Other than that I like the cast. Juggernaut has always been a better villain than X-Man, but I can live with it. I guess the character has always been just a few productive therapy sessions away from the straight and narrow anyway. Ultimate X-Men has been doing some fun stuff with their version of Dazzler lately, and I wouldn't mind seeing her back in the 616. Nocturne is an Exiles character that I am not familiar with, but I know she is a fan favorite and it will be nice to see her in a regular continuity setting. Especially since Claremont is already using her in his "X-Men: The End" book. And then throw Pete Wisdom and Sage into the mix and I think they might have something kinda cool. We'll just have to wait and see.
