xbooks just make no sense to me, maybe i am looking for something deeper or maybe they are too deep but they dont have the feel of the xbooks of the late 80s early 90s, hell even the late 90s.
Claremont's stuff has just been uninteresting, who cares about dinosaur people. The new storyline just doesnt make sense to me in this house of m world. Maybe i am looking for too much i dont know.
Reading the latest issue of x-men, the crossover with black panther is alittle better but not by much, i love the art but is that hte only reason why i am buying this book?
am i going to have to drop these two books i have had solid runs on for 15 years??
If someone who is pro xcomics could explain in better detail the significance and point out the good storytelling in Golgitha, foxxy, the savage land storyline, and the current house of m stuff i would appreciate it because i am at my witts end.

Check out my blog. Please. Come on. Pretty please. Do I have to get a set of knee pads and come over to your house to make you?
Yeah, I dropped all X-books that weren't Astonishing as well.
I think they need another Reload or Relaunch or whatever to get the gears moving for the X books again.
The problem with Claremont is that he over explains everything in his writing. I remember him saying that he wrote every issue as if it was someone's first issue. In practically every story, characters are introducing themselves and their powers, and in every single issue it just doesn't work.
I haven't read Milligan's stuff, but from what I've heard and seen from previews of it, it doesn't look very good. I think he works great on some books, but on others, he just has no place there (See Venom v Carnage.)

yeah that is a good comparison, i got the venom carnage books and it just seemed forced and out of place. it just didnt feel like the characters

If the book stinks, don't buy it. I don't see what the problem is. If having an unbroken collection is that important to you, a year from now you will be able to buy the back issues hella cheap.
