If our weekly X-Men Monday feature isn’t proof enough judging by all the excitement via our Twitter you probably don’t know Jonathan Hickman is returning to Marvel Comics. Oh wait, did you miss all the full-page ads leading up to the big news of his two new six-part X-Men series coming this summer?
Everyone and their dog wants new info about the series and while Marvel did give us a taste of what is to come tomorrow via solicit and cover reveals Jonathan Hickman isn’t taking interviews at this time. He said so on his Twitter account:
I appreciate all the requests for X-MEN interviews but I won't be doing them because:
A.) Marvel is handling all of that, and…
B.) I wouldn't do them anyway. Especially since the books are months away.But if you need something to write/talk about…

He did give readers a taste of what is to come, possibly, via his top 5 mutants. As he pointed out in a reply to the above Tweet:
Jonathan Hickman's top 5 mutants:
1. Magneto
2. White Queen
3. Mister Sinister
4. Monet
5. (tie) Bobby
5. (tie) Sam— Jonathan Hickman (@JHickman) April 9, 2019
Magneto as number one isn’t a surprise, but Mister Sinister. Isn’t he not a mutant? Hickman had a rebuttle:
MISTER SINISTER IS NOT A MUTANT.
Children. Please. Watch me work.
