It seems like, ever since M-Day, there have been two classifications of story arcs. 1) Those that are centered completely around an 'X' team or team member 2) Those that are focused around everybody else.
I'm just getting a bit tired of the 'X' people being their own little island that has minimal interaction with the rest of the superhero world.

I do. Its been along time disappointment to me that they have not been for so long.

I'd like there to be more continuity between the X-Books.  Hell, some of their writers don't seem to remember the rubbish they wrote themselves.  

They should have the individual X-Men books interact first.

Is anyone besides me aware of how long Uncanny or Astonishing could've been working with Black Panther? It's quite confusing as to why it hasn't happened yet.

BTW, how have the X-Men been exempt from the Superhuman Registration Act? I know they were neutral and uninvolved in the Marvel Civil War, but I don't see how that would make the US government not jump at the chance to get all their mutant butts registered once and for all.

Pick up X-Men/Dark Avengers: Utopia. It's the start of a crossover there between those two teams in the Uncanny books and the Dark Avengers books. Just started today.

Massive crossovers (Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign) are starting to get boring. They should finish off Dark Reign, and then have all the characters in their separate titles for a while. I'm not saying they should never have a massive crossover again, but they could at least take a break for one or two years.

The X-men are known for sticking to their own problems. they deal with mutant affairs. It doesn't make sense to have them crossover with other titles who do not.

There to many crossovers, house of m, civil war, secret invasions, it's just too much crossovers.

I just want less of them. Two Xmen comics and one younger generation would be fine.

"The X-men are known for sticking to their own problems. they deal with mutant affairs. It doesn't make sense to have them crossover with other titles who do not."

The X-men being shut away and secluding their affairs from the rest of the super hero community kinda sets off the bigot alarm in my head.  They should practice their social skills...or maybe people should practice their mutant social skills...aha i have it.

In a way I do, but I don't want the X-Books to become buddy-buddy with the Avengers or the Fantastic Four.

I think it would be interesting to see an almost antagonistic relationship between the superheroes and the mutants, mainly to really solidify the mutant theme.  People always wonder why, prior to Civil War, people weren't as afraid of the Thing, and I think a little paranoia and fear from other heroes would work.

They don't necessarily have to be enemies, but I can see them giving the side-eye to them dangerous and uncanny mutants (and not be all that enthusiastic to help reversing M-Day).

They are all registered. The Government has files on most of the remaining mutants after M-Day.X-men focus on their own problems because they can't trust any of the other none mutant teams to help them, like Emma Frost said to Tony "Where were the Avengers when Genosha was dying?" If the X-men don't focus on their own problems then who will? They can't rely on outside help so they deal with it themselves and don't get involved in other heroes problems."

The fact that they're going extinct is a big factor as to why they stay away from other matters and it isn't entirely just them. Most of the super hero community don't get involved with them either.

With their race almost going extinct, of course that will be there first order of business. It's just like how from what I have seen Humans as a species tend to be more important to the human heroes, you'll be very hard stretched to find any of the human heroes helping a mutant being attacked in the streets, they're too busy looking after their own kind much like the X-men have been forced to do.

They don't want to have to separate themselves but with how things are they have been left very little choice. Thinking of yourself as superior has nothing to do with it as a species their main instinct much like most others is to survive, do you see humans lining up for annihilation if their numbers dwindle on the verge of extinction? No.

The X-men avoiding most other heroes has only happened over the last few years as back before M Day Cyclops was all about going out and helping everyone like heroes do but now he's been forced to put all his attention on preserving mutant kind.

Saying mutants are going extinct isn't a reason for the X-Men to not get involved in non-mutant problems. Mutants at the base are humans with the X gene. So they can't go extinct as long as humans don't go extinct. As long as there are humans there will be mutants, sure stuff like M-Day put a huge blow in the mutant population but they didn't, aren't, and won't go extinct.

Ummm the fact that the X gene has been shown to have been removed from every human on the planet preventing the birth of any more mutants says otherwise, hence the huge freak out over the random birth of Hope. Since House of M, mutants have been going extinct and that hasn't changed since nobody has fixed it yet. Yeah, they are protecting mutants just because they're mutants because they're trying to protect their race from extinction.

And extinction would be a big factor no matter who you are. If your race were going extinct wouldn't you do everything within your power to prevent it from happening? Of course you would and that is exactly what the X-men need to focus on right now and it's not like there aren't enough heroes running around that the X-men are needed for other things after all it's not like any of the other heroes have gone to them for help or anything. The human heroes are just as guilty of ignoring the X-men as the X-men are of ignoring them.

 It is a reason, in fact it's THE reason. They don't get involved because they can't risk endangering any more mutants and having their number decrease even more and again they've got a lot of their own stuff to deal with.

"If your race were going extinct wouldn't you do everything within your power to prevent it from happening?"

Because mutants are their own race. Just like black and white people are each seen as part of a race.

X-men aren't acting any differently than anyone else in their position would act. Humans being the only ones left isn't what they're trying to stop, they're trying to stop their race from dying out which any race/species or whatever would do, it's instinct to try and survive it doesn't all of a sudden mean you hate humans or that you see yourself as more important but when an entire race that you belong to is on the verge of extinction your priorities seem to change. They're mutants so they'll put the very survival of their race before everything else and they're right to do so anyone else would do the same and I'm sorry but no more mutants being born is a big deal.

Again just because they're trying to save their race doesn't mean they think they're more important but obviously different people have different priorities, if's not like the other heroes give the X-men any help when they need it so I could easily say that they don't care about anyone except the human population.

I really like the fact that the X-books are insular. I almost feel like if they were to interact with the general marvel univerise that it would be kind of forced and weird. They keep to themselves for a reason, and I like that fact. It makes sense in principle, and while it would be easy to have Spider Man guest starring every other week or whatever to sell more books, it doesn't make sense.

You can't forget mutants are still prejudiced against.  How many people would want their help or be as accepting to them as they would be if others came to help them.  It's bad publicity to thrust yourself out and force yourself on the public.  It wouldn't help them a whole lot.

"Because mutants are their own race. Just like black and white people are each seen as part of a race."

Wanting your own race to survive is NOT racist, it's about survival. Nobody in their right mind would want their race to die out no matter what their race is. Just because you want your race to survive doesn't mean you automatically want the others to die out instead.

Again, it is NOT racist.

Wow I can't believe how off topic this thread got in such a little amount of time.

Having the X-Titles and other titles crossover is an easy way to have new and old fans begin to read new stuff. That is as long as its not done just to sell more books, the story needs to be solid and make sense.

I think they do pretty good like pixelized said they have a warehouse of people. Why would they need any outside help. All the mutants they have telpaths, manipulators, telekinetics, etc. , they  should have been included in the Civil War but i understand why they didn't after all the chaos before it would be overwhelming.

X-Titles should no longer remain on the edge of the Marvel Universe.
