I do want to elaborate on some of my pitch thought processes.

Mercury is like a one liner dropping more talkative girl. And shes angry and has a bad home life and just wants a place to belong and that's really why I envision her as one of the breakout stars here. I think Hollow does make a great foil for her as Hollow really doesn't speak at all but can sort of communicate and Hollows problems are really far more basic. I also see the Nicole-Hollow-Mercury relationship as really having potential.

Obviously in an ideal world I'd have Monet and Synch in place of the M Twins but I am sort of pleased by what I was able to do with them. Leech + Nicole struck me as a good idea because I think Nicole having an autistic twin is one of the few who would give someone with the sorts of inborn problems leech has a chance and I think it places Nicole into an oddly central role where shes playing big sister to Claudette and Hollow while still trying to carve out time for herself.

As Snake said this is for better or worse a VERY X Men title. Generation X is a book all about teenage angst and the assertion of a cynical worldview emerging in place of childhood innocence BUT this is still a team who's major stars are Archangel and Jubilee. They symbolize that Havoks way of doom and gloom really isn't the only way. You can be idealistic and care about things once you emerge on the other side of your teenage years. I also think positioning Husk as the character most caught up in that particular dynamic does her a lot of good especially since her powers allow her to physically manifest her emotional state which I think in the hands of a good artist would be hella memorable.

For what it's worth I would definitely want Kenneth Rocafort for this book
