When Giant-Size X-Men hits stands next year, X-Men[...]

Jonathan Hickman is an unconventional writer who doesn't follow the norms For example, where other writers might write a six-issue series to relaunch the X-Men, Hickman takes the same amount of story and makes it twelve issues Where other writers might believe that comic books should contain comics, Hickman believes they should contain pages upon[...]

Earlier today, a Marvel executive caught me swearing at Jonathan Hickman via them I understand I may not be alone in that simultaneous admiration/self-frustration.
