[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5725651, member: 67338"] There was a time when DC and Marvel was makeing quite a bit from me. Today I am 99% DC. However I really want to get back into xmen. In the 90's I was reading all the x titles. I loved it, then, but I stoped reading most books about 2002. Then I came back to DC through all the crisisses of the last few years. I tried to read the hope story line, but could not get into it. The vampire story didn't grab me eaither. Some of my friends and I have discused the whole problem, and we think it is pretty funny, but the problem is X men was too good. Let me explain. Character growth is a double edged sword. As the characters grow they change (like we all do, I know I am not the same guy I was 10 years ago) but as they do, they get farther from where they started. In the books things need to be exagerated, and as things get farther and farther things just get out of hand. One of my friends is "Sick of the whole people hate mutants thing" but without the world hateing and fearing them, are they the xmen? One of my friends is "Feed up with villans and heros switching places" but at this point how can you fault almost any villian switching when we except all the horrid things main cast did? See Comics are a victome of there own success. the reasons they lasted so long was they never really were coutniuty police in the old days. Super man was rebooted 100 times inbetween 1930something and 1985... but the one now falls under such a microscope. Stories can only last so long. Books end, Movies end, TV shows end, Legends end... BUT how do comics end? Ultimates was supose to make this work, but even it jumped up and changed everything. I really want to read about Xmen who are the line against evil mutants. Defending a world that hates and fears them. I want them to have to stop the bad guys, and be hunted by giant purple robots. I want them to be founded by charles Xavier who is a good man who is confied to his wheel cheer, and the most powrful telepath on earth. I want the field team to be Lead by "I can't belive he isn't a boy scout" Cyclops. I want the team to include funny, and series characters. I even want a few 'bad boys' with a heart, be it the theif gambit, or the ronnin samarir bazerker logan... [/QUOTE]
