    Is it just me or did Storm join the Avengers only to stand in the corner with Spider-Man and Hawkeye, while Captain America and Iron Man do the important stuff.

    God i'm just hoping Gambit's on going will give him better developement, and yes Mags need to lead his own team maybe a new Dark X-Men, or BTOEM. Just saying but i feel like all of them are being written badly.

    Ah, yes, one of the few things coming out of all this crap. An on going series for a character that is NOT Wolverine related.

    Me too. I'm hoping that Gambit gets better treatment in his own series than he was given in X-Men Legacy.

    Nobody has got the shaft by the writers more than Prof X, he not only got retconed into being a total a-hole, he also got kicked to the curb and is now seen primarily through meaningless cameos.

    Yeah, I can't believe what they did to Professor Xavier, who was one of the most important characters in the X-Men comics. Now they made him so irrelevant in the comics.

    Hope. I so miss the Hope from Cable and Second Coming. She had so much potential. It kind of breaks my heart the direction they went with her character.

    It's only boring if you're either a) not smart enough to appreciate it or b) if you dislike the cast.

    You've also invalidated any point you could have made by praising Gage's Legacy and the utter gimmick of a book that is Liu's Astonishing. Poor call.

    I'll get back to you later on the Uncanny point, just about to go out.

    But Legacy is abysmal. It's a continuation of the boring Rogue solo that Carey's book became, but worse.

    Mimic and Weapon Omega? That was worth the two issue focus, right?

    I love having Gambit, of all characters, pining over Rogue like some brain-damaged puppy when she still claims to love Magneto (a left-over and continually repeated plot-point, maybe? We can't have one of those now). Frenzy's also an ideal person to have around a school given her character history.

    Onto the AvX tie-ins.... I forgot how fun it is reading about X-students being maimed. This time by D-list Avengers characters. It must be noted, that Gage is rehashing a lot of the same plot points, for example, Hellion being knocked out and concussed by a Hulk, as he did five years ago. That's not even a continuation of left overs, that's just lazy story-telling.

    Having Rogue lose her sh!t and solo the entire Avengers team is not at all boring to read. I suppose she's successfully doing something for once which is a nice change. Before this she's been a colossal screw up. She had to call in Cyclops' to finish off her job for her.

    Still, if it's not bad enough by itself you just have to compare it to WaTXM to see how terrible it is. Although WaTXM, has a primary focus on the children, it successfully manages to develop the staff too (Iceman, Rachel, Wolverine etc) and not just focus on Rogue. What has Carey done with Gambit, Frenzy, Husk, Cannonball, Iceman etc? Drunk kisses don't really count as character development.

    I do agree that the Uncanny line-up is rather boring, though the stories are pretty good. You would have thought all these people with these intricate and developed back stories would be interesting, but alas, it's just not as entertaining as Wolverine and the X-Men. The only tension we see is in the relationship between Emma and Namor.

    Gillen can write the characters insanely well, but it lacks character dynamics in my opinion.

    X-MEN as a whole has been pretty bad and lack-luster. This mutant group was once my favorite group of mutant heroes. I still like X-MEn, but nothing big or interesting has come out of the X-MEN.

    The X-Books are the best they've been in years right now. They haven't been this good since Morrison.

    Not at all, Cyclops is more badass now then ever before, when he was chasing after jean. So glad she's dead.

    Hope has horrible writing, Jubilee, Storm, Dazzler, Rogue (until recently), Gambit, Havok, Iceman, Beast ( I hate him now)

    I can't believe what they have been doing to Beast over the years. I used to really like him because he was the funny smart guy, but now it's hard for me to like him anymore.

    Emma as Phoenix. If she attacks any of the Avengers Academy students I will be angry. Sure, Laura made the first move, but Emma would never intentionally injure kids.

    Uh, they've got a Sentinel who's prime objectives still concerns the extermination of all mutants, of which, they're far too hesitant to shut down. Emma and the rest of the P5 want to spread world peace. Considering what happened towards the final pages, what do you expect ?

    Emma not to attack the kids? That's what I love about her. She would do anything to protect her students, and just don't want to see her attacking any of them.

    Emma shouldn't even need to attack anyone. Even without the Phoenix powers, she can just telepathically paralyze everyone or make them fall asleep.
