    @MrPsycho

    Uncanny X-Force is an amazing title by Remender. Wolverine and the X-Men is pretty good (except the AvX tie ins, which are IMO okay), X-Factor is pretty fun.

    If you want to get up to speed with current issues, read Messiah Complex and Second Coming, two X-Men crossovers then head straight to the currently ongoing but going to end soon, Avengers Vs X-Men (which is doing OKAY IMO, falling into the realms of stupidity at times)

    But yeah, if you've read Morrison's run and loved Fantomex, read Uncanny X-Force. It has probably some of the best modern day story arcs, The Apocalypse Solution and The Dark Angel Saga.

    You should try anything by Remender, Gillen, or Aaron.

    @MrPsycho: X-Factor, X-Men Vol.3 (from #30) and Uncanny X-Force. The only good titles out atm, and if you like Dazzler, try X-Treme X-Men.

    Uncanny X-force by Rick Remender it's one of the BEST X-men books ever

    Wolverine and the X-men is good as well.

    Uncanny X-men is good as well but it's ending in three issues (what a pity.

    Yeeeaaaaaah. Uncanny's only your type if you're a fan of a series that focuses more on the antagonist/enemy than on the cast itself. Truthfully speaking, it is not that good.
