Ultimate X-Men is better...though 90% of them are dead...drowned...murdered...the series was solid.
No I hear you.
Personally, the X-men have been dead to me since Havok and the crew left Australia. I liked those books the best because they were down and out and had to survive on each other like in no other run. I did not come back into X-Men until AoA. Since then it's been meh. I do like Ultimate X-men a great deal though.
Thanks you!!!!
Great Save!!!!
Wolverine's gonna be responsible for a whole new Generation X by himself
I was peeping that.......also
man wolverine was a pimp...
Shurnuff's img was there big as a circus tent for about 15 seconds. Then it vanished. Let's see if he can get it together
Thank you!!!!

lol..yeah, those Australia years were VERY good years. Claremont was putting those cats through some changes! Alex was losing his damn mind, but really stepping into Scott's shoes. Those guys really had to rely on each other, and I think that's what I really miss about the X-Men. From Cockrum to Byrne, Paul Smith to Silvestri (with a little Romita, Jr. between), the X-men were people first, super heroes 2nd. They weren't even necessarily drawn like super heroes or fashion models. I used to love how Silvestri used to draw those cats lounging in regular gear. They used to call each other by first name first, code name (and it was just a code name), 2nd.
Cats could die and move on, and you just NEVER knew where the book was going to take you.
I tell this to people all the time: the worst thing to happen to comics was the end of the thought balloon. Go back and read a lot of your old X-men and see how much richer the experience was for it. Unlike the joke device Bendis seems to employ, back then, characters would say one thing and think something totally different (often giving a lot of texture to an event that we just witnessed, or providing deeper context to the relationship). They might even think out strategies or highlight weaknesses in opponents thus revealing HOW THEY thought about scenarios.
So yeah, I know that I sound crazy and way too analytical on comics, but I miss the old X-Books. Honestly, I miss certain tools and techniques of bygone comic-writing in general.
The last time I was excited for an X-book was when Brubaker did that Shiar-run when those cats went into space for the 3rd Summer's brother. I thought that shit was HOT and very much like the stuff I used to love about X-Men.
Of course, nobody else liked it and it was DOA sadly.

Agreed.
If you notice the buyers/readers of the comics now are people really looking for pop-corn.
The comic industry fluctuates much like the novel industry. This is not to discredit the members that do read or the readers I know in real life but when they talk about a story being hot 9/10 it's just a flash of color and fights.
Yes, that's what suppose to be in a comic but when characters are making choices that don't make realistic sense it stop being fiction and just became nonsense.
Character development has taken a back-seat in the last few years across both of the big two comics publishers. It's like the Michael Bay virus has incubated into most of the editors minds.
"Fall of the Mutants" to "Inferno"...were the no joke age of the X-Men.
"I remember when Cyclops an actual father, raising his kid with his girl/wife (Madelyne Prior) and using his optic blast to make a living (lumberjack)."

Haha...now we sound like old men. I remember that shit! Scott and Maddy were bunned up in Alaska. This was shortly after Ororo beat his ass for leadership of the team.
I still think that one of the best X-Men stories that I ever read (one of my faves) was X-Men vs Alpha Flight round one. I'm CONVINCED that's where Bendis got his BEST SCENE from House of M. The X-Men and Alpha flight had a VERY HARDCORE philosophical difference about the future of magic people in the Marvel Universe after Loki presented such a devious (but seemingly earnest) proposition, that I genuinely had no idea WHO was right.
Yeah, I'll argue that X-men was tops from Cockrum All the way to X-Men #3 with Jim Lee. The entire 1st run of Claremont is one of the most legendary runs in comics.
It's sad how young we are yet how old we sound
My first comic was read @ age 6
I did a book report on "God loves: Man Kills" when I was 9 years old. I actually saw my teacher from that grade years later. She was like..."That book report made me get into comics." LOL
These were all hand me down books from my Uncles who were trying to recruit me into the Marvel camp. My family is divided by DC and Marvel LOL.
Seriously look at the last 5 years of comics...What compares to books like the one I mentioned above? If you got something in your mind chances are it's not a Marvel or a DC.
That's true. Comics don't aim that high anymore. Marvel was a very different climate back then. Now it's strictly entertainment, but the best of comics aimed for some level of social commentary. I can't think of any books that tried to hit what God Loves, Man Kills attempted. Shit, in the 80's, I could think of at least TEN. Not all of them were Marvel...
I feel old, though. I remember being in 4th grade and one of the teachers had show and tell or something and somebody invited 'an artist' to class. I remember being a kid and being wowed that he worked on a cartoon on television. I remember years later that the spider-man he drew was actually from Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. That was the show that he worked on. Brother, I'm old...lol

You know your a geek when you can (with confidence) correct a well thought out map that would tire most viewers.
