Adventures In Poor Taste With Jordan D. White and Matthew Rosenberg

In one of the recent articles, there was disappointing information from Jordon D. White about Adam-X:

AiPT!: There was a time not too long ago when including a controversial ’90s character like Joseph in a modern X-Comic would seem insane. So on that note–Jordan, in your time as X-Men Senior Editor, have you ever received a story pitch so ridiculous you just had to say no? And if so… what was so crazy about it?

Jordan: Errrr… well, I don’t know that I’ve ever been pitched the return of a character that I thought was too crazy. There’s no bad characters, it’s all how they are used and if someone has a story to tell with them. Although, that being said, I was literally telling Chris Robinson yesterday that we are not bringing Adam-X back any time soon. Sorry, guys.

I think the only “too crazy” things I have had to say no to are things that went too far in the realm of violence or sex… which is ironic since in my tenure as Deadpool editor I definitely put out a lot sex and violence that other editors might think was ALREADY too much. But in general, I am a fan of someone pitching an idea that is “too crazy to work” and then telling me why it works. I think that can lead to some really fun and surprising stories.

Matthew: Let me bring Adam-X back, you coward!
