Uncanny X-Force was several self contained stories which had huge ramifications (mainly Arc Angel's ascencion which happened because one character thought that letting Child Apocalpse live and training him to be an X-Man was too risky). 18 issues later, Uncanny X-Force  (and the X-Men in general) are still dealing with fall out from that one decision.Wolverine and the X-Men, has been chaotic...but it's been fun.  The entire series so far has been "smaller" stories that really spun out of X-Schism and Uncanny X-Force.There are other short story arcs and one offs which have been pretty good, however, as mentioned before they tended to only be the ones that escaped being forced into the "grand event treadmil."  Personally, I think the flaw with marvel is the fact that EVERYTHING has to tie into the "block buster summer event!"  If Marvel's editorial were smart they would only make the major events happen every other year so that the storylines could have a breather for once. -Sent via Tapatalk</blockquote>
