Wow.... the X-titles very much continue to fall from grace with these new Blue and Gold titles...
Anyone else miss the Marvel Now era. Many of the X-men had solo titles: Storm, Wolverine, Magneto, Cyclops... And then the team book made sense!!! Plus everyone had great costumes during that time too! Now it seems like everyone is so eager to step backwards and relive the 80s arcs in their own fan-fiction...
Storm was a headmistress/leader
Cyclops was a fugitive/ took on a new direction
Magik was the best she has Ever been!
Rachel, Monet, Cukoos, X-students played active roles.
And for the most part, everyone was pleased with their respective favorite characters.
I miss everything taking on a new direction with some acknowledgement of the past.
Not recycled fan-fiction or Inhumans boosting story arcs....
Message to the writers at Marvel-- IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!
X-Men
Team » X-Men appears in 13417 issues.
The X-Men are a superhero team of mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
Does anyone else miss the Marvel NOW! era? (pre-Secret Wars)
@invain: i'm so disappointed but i'm not surprised actually.
No I don't.
Storm was an asshole for some reason and her Solo series died because writers didn't know or did their homework on the character.
Cyclops was just the new Magneto. He become more unlikable every time he showed up anywhere and become the bane of everyone's problems.
Magik and the rest I do agree they were at least decent. I do miss the pre-secret wars Monet she wasn't a B*%#% like she is now.
@invain: i'm so disappointed but i'm not surprised actually.
Sorry to hear that. ?
I miss the pre Civil War (original) era where heroes were heroes, everybody knew each other and when Jean Grey was still alive not to mention OMD hadn't happened.
Each one of those Marvel labels has gotten progressively worse. The best thing about Marvel in the 2010's was Jonathan Hickman's run of Fantastic Four/Future Foundation and his Avengers/New Avengers epic run which culminated in the near perfect Secret Wars 2015.
Marvel is shifting and changing their universe far too often and its even more difficult for people to jump in since every year a new Marvel NOW or All New Marvel label pops up and comic books are cut short and have to start up from number 1 again. This All New All Different Marvel label has in turn become their version of New 52 and it isn't gonna last long. Whereas DC is finally fixing everything and restoring its heroes, Marvel is killing off its main stars and embarking on a metamorphosis of everything. Wolverine, Hulk and Iron Man are dead. Thor is hammerless, Cap is evil and Spider Man is an incompetent man child. The X-Men are at their worst. The Inhumans aren't all that interesting, there's no Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy are a joke.
10- Marvel has more superhero teams
9- Marvel's characters die and return more often
8- Marvel's Events are more frequent (which is nowadays bad)
7- Dark sides
6- DC has animation figured out (best Marvel animations include 90's X-Men and Spider Man, Avengers EMH, Spectacular Spider Man. DC has so much more)
5- DC has a longer history (DC old, Marvel young)
4- DC has more stand alone stories (Marvel needs to imitate this desperately)
3- DC's universe is more fictional, Marvel's is more real (Escapism vs Relatability)
2- Marvel has more stories and characters that deal with real issues
1- Marvel has their movie figured out
I miss the pre-Marvel Now era more.
Same here.
Nah screw the Marvel Now era. That's when shit started getting terrible. If anything, Marvel should take the X-Men back to the pre-schism days where Cyke isn't a dick and Wolverine is his second in command. Bring Jean back and the Professor as well. Marvel can easily fix this shit but honestly they're so bent on changing everything up I've just lost so much interest.

Nope. I like the direction characters like Storm, Magik, Monet, Cyclops and Jubilee have taken since Marvel NOW! Going backwards is redundant.

Then you like one of the darkest and most negative periods in X-Men history, congratulations.
