Aaron leaving AMAZING X-MEN, Kyle and Yost to take over

Scheduling demands have forced Jason Aaron to leave new title AMAZING X-MEN after only six issues, as CBR reports. His run will end with April's AMAZING X-MEN 6, which will be the conclusion of the current arc and Nightcrawler's return. Issue 7 will feature the fantastic Kathryn Immonen writing before Craig Kyle and Chris Yost take over on issue 8. It will mark a return for the two Thor: The Dark World writers to the X-world after their run on an X-23 miniseries and books like YOUNG X-MEN back in the 2000s. Aaron's explanation is here, in several tweets:

So yeah, because of my overall schedule demands, I had to step away from Amazing X-Men a bit sooner than I'd hoped.

Though as far as parting shots go, I think the Return of Nightcrawler is a pretty satisfying way to end my tenure as an X-writer.

Without Amazing, that leaves me writing Original Sin, Thor, Southern Bastards and a couple of other things I can't talk about yet.

It was definitely weird to leave the X-verse behind after spending pretty much my entire Marvel career there.

But I couldn't be happier with the stuff I'm working on now. Fun times ahead!
