[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 5724898, member: 70"] OK, I confess. Post-Regenesis, I no longer understand the difference between X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, and Uncanny X-Men. Wolverine and the X-Men: This I get. It's the one that's giving me serious Generation X flashbacks. I mean, if that's not Mondo in the last few panels, I'm going to weep. And Bamphs? Seriously? New Mutants: <sigh> This is like the comic of anti-character development. Cypher back from the dead? Kinda awesome. I loved Cypher. And now, thank you Abnett, we're back to Cypher the useless. Warlock the questionable. Sunspot the almost cardboard cutout. Magma the actual cardboard cutout. Nate "I Don't Need A Shirt" Grey is cranky that he's not a god anymore. I guess all the brainpower goes into giving Dani good lines. Argh. I love this comic. It was the first one I ever bought. Please get better. X-Factor: I read this every once in a while, but....is Peter David just collecting characters for fun? Is there some kind of record at stake? Pip the Troll? Argh. And yes, I used to like Longshot too, but every time I pick up this book he sounds like a nitwit. Generation Hope: Only bought a few issues. have no opinion, except that Hope just annoys me now. She could be interesting in the future; they don't seem to have abandoned all the mystery around her. There were several mentions of her "unusual" connection/control over her recruits during Regenesis. X-Force: Rocks. 'Nuff said. I think the mutant team closest to Xavier's dream is the New Mutants. It was interesting to see them take, in essence, a 3rd path, neither Cyclops or Wolverine, and one that was arguably the closest to the essence of X-Men. I think all the characters on this team have a lot of potential, and it'd be nice to see it explored. It's happened occasionally, and I think Abnett is aware of it (based on comments issued from Dani's mouth), so..... Some interaction between the original students and the new students would be good. Also some members, or regular appearances, by characters that weren't originally a New Mutant. There's a weird dynamic that other "student" mutants advance to X-Men, but the New Mutants never do.
