As for me, I'm quite enjoying Uncanny X-Force and X-Factor at the moment.

I'm looking forward reading more of Gillen's run on Uncanny X-Men aswell. I've just picked up Astonishing X-Men, looking forward to the current arc.

I've actually been wondering lately if X-Men Legacy is worth the read. I was looking to get into some new X titles and that one seemed pretty interesting from what I've heard of it. I also got to finish picking up the rest of the New X-Men run

I've been debating picking-up X-Men: Legacy now that Age of X is over. The aftermath looks like it might be quite interesting.

X-Factor's always my favorite. Uncanny X-Force isn't bad either, and Uncanny X-Men is looking up now that Gillen's taken over. X-Men Legacy has been consistently good for a long while.

It's a good time to be an X-fan

New Mutants and X-Factor are my favourite, but i like UXF and Legacy. X-men is ok, i know there's a lot of hate for the first arc with vampires, but they are doing plain superhero stuff there. Wolverine is cool too.

X-Factor and Astonishing. Most of my favorite characters has been killed off (Forge, Banshee, Nightcrawler), stuck in limbo (Havok), or just screwed over (Bishop). Only Storm and Cyclops are still around to like.

I started picking it up when the Heroic Age began. It's pretty good so far. Again, Age of X was disappointing, but I hope it gets back on a cool track.
Also, poor poor Karima.

I'm not going to disagree with you, but personally, I didn't like it once the twist was revealed. Just came off as cheap and a "Nothing that happens will really matter."
Again, the twist killed it for me.

X-Force
and then New Mutants

The other books are generally either not good, or not consistently good, like when Giellen indulges some bullshit fortieth tier obscure X-Villain that is impossible to make interesting, or when PAD gets lazy and just puts a transparent soapbox moment in the comic and kinda shrugs when the characters call it out as being out of context

Maybe it was too short but the Legion taking them to an alternate reality has been done before and much MUCH better in AoA.

Since this wasn't AoA v2.0, it was good considering it was Legion again.

Even Cyclops and Xavier agreed that they need to take care of Legion so there won't be a third time which is convincing storytelling.

All the X-men books are great at the moment. Well, except Astonishing. Is Way still writing that? Not counting Wolverine family of course. Spending close to a year over Wolverine being possessed by demons and spending his winter at Hell, it's been the most disappointing Jason Aaron sniktbbub story yet. Haven't read Daken other than the X-23 crossover because I dislike the character so that's enough about him, but Laura's book itself has been surprisingly decent.

It's not as good as Uncanny X-Force and it does get a little shaky at parts. Especially during some of the time-hopping crossover stuff. Still worth reading, though.

Uncanny and X-Force are my faves currently, and I'm getting into Gen Hope (tho I wish everyone but Idle would die) Wolvie and Jubes was fun even if the vampire gimmick was lame.

Schism should be fun, just don't break up the Northstar-Pixie-Dazzler Gay superteam.

also here's a brutal X-Test how well do you know your filthy muties /co/?

All that Hope Summer bullshit is stupid. they're just trying to replace Jean Grey with an even more powerful Mutant. even accelerating her age so they can put her in storylines quicker

I fucking loved Well's run on New Mutants, despite the crossovers.
I am nervous about DnA taking over. I don't really like what I'm hearing.

X-Factor is pretty great. I only started reading it a few months ago, but I'm loving it.

Legacy is also excellent, and I'm really interested in the new direction it's going in.

They need to bring back New X-Men. I miss the kids.

I wouldn't read Astonishing, Uncanny, X-23, or Generation Hope if they were given to me for free every time I walked into me LCS.

Actually, I kinda hated it after Kyle/Yost took over the title.

I just like the characters and I hate that they're drifting further into obscurity.
It's cool the Surge is going to appear in X-Men Destiny, but the game looks like shit so it's not much of a win.
