How many x-books has the new relaunch caused you to drop?

[drwho]

This is the first time in years that I no longer buy Uncanny X-Men. I have also dropped X-Men Legacy and Cable. I am not even really too excited about Young X-Men. I also dropped Wolverine because of the Millar story. I think this relaunch was a bust. How many x-titles has this relaunch caused you to drop?

[darknessatnoon]

None.

But I dropped Ms. Marvel when they added Sleepwalker to the cast.

[frog]

You must think you're quite clever by not making none an option.

[Novaya Havoc]

The only book I've dropped is Exiles.

I do not consider Legacy to be X-Men.

[LawGiver]

None, I pick up more thanks to the great creative teams. I'm loving the X-Books.

[Waterlily]

How many X-Books as the new relaunched caused me to drop? None.

[Naela]

I actually started picking up X-Books again because of the Relaunch.

[brundlefly]

Only one. When Cable/Deadpool became a Cable solo book. Still get the three "core" books (Astonishing, Uncanny, Legacy) plus X-Factor.

Actually, since I started picking up X-Force last month, that makes up for dropping Cable, so change that to "none." Which, as was pointed out already, does not seem to be an option on your extremely biased poll.

[Steven F.]

That would be a...NONE.

[La Fea]

Negative two???

I think I'm picking up more titles with X-Force and Young X-Men and I'm also giving Uncanny another shot.

[insidemyhead]

I haven't dropped any. In fact, I'm buying more now than I ever have.

The only X-books I'm not buying now are Cable and X-Factor (and Exiles, if that counts exactly), and I would not at all be surprised if I started picking those up in the next few months as well.

[MasterOdin]

All. I am now trade waiting for all the series. It is a tough way to do it, but the way things are being written it is better to read these series in trade anyway.

I may consider picking up Uncanny monthly if Bru/Fraction hold to having short arcs as they have said.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Albeit, all for reasons other than the re-launch...I've dropped two - "Legacy": b/c Xavier bores me to tears (nomatter how well he is written), X-Factor: b/c I absolutely detest Stroman's art (granted, at the time he was only slated to be the regular artist...post MC seemed to be the ideal time to drop the title). I am not picking up AXM: b/c of Bianchi...he is quite a talented artist in terms of technical execution, but his velie and un-neccessary "re-designs" make me want to hurl everytime I see the previews.

[timbox]

I voted all, comics are for nerds.

[Optic Rage!]

None, in fact i think i get more now.

This is a stupid thread.

[frog]

This thread is a good example of why the axiom "numbers don't lie" isn't true. Statistics can easily be rigged, such as leaving out dropping no titles and adding titles as options, making the poll results heavily skewed.

[jester1436]

Where is the prerequisite thumbs down for a thread of this sort? I feel short changed from the full experience.

Oh, and the answer is none.

[AcesX1X]

This thread is a farce.

Its poor attempt at spreading propaganda is laughable, at best.

[Imraith Nimphais]

I think it is a perfectly valid thread as there are many varied reasons why some titles are "dumped" while others are picked up...although, to be absolutely un-biased , you, Doc should have included a "none" category as part of the poll.

[Hakael]

The relaunch was largely pretty welcome... I miss the hell out of New X-Men, but I've got X-Force to tide me over until Hellion and Mercury find their way onto another X-Book. X-Factor is still there, Uncanny is better, I like Legacy... Young X-Men and Cable are the only books I started and dropped out of the relaunch, and I don't really count Cable as an X-title.

[frog]

So far I'm very happy with the relaunch. I'm still undecided about Young X-Men but I haven't dropped a thing and I've been buying more one-shots.

[Your Imaginary Pal]

I dropped all my books one day. They were in the shopping bag, I blame it on the relaunch. Fortunately I didn't drop them in a puddle, and I managed to pick them back up relatively quickly.

[Siddon]

1, I'm not buying Cable and I'm on the fence with Deadpool

[Acathla]

None. I still get them all.

[mikekerr3]

Looks like I will be dropping X-factor, but tats due to changes that look like they are comming to book

I have dropped nothing due to the Relauch.

[claimtosubclaim]

None. I loved the recent X-Factor arc, X-Force brought back one of my favorite dropped plot threads (Bastion), Legacy is a good read albeit a bit slow, and Uncanny is getting good. This thread sucks for intentionally not including the "none" option.

[Agent_Torpor]

Strangely enough, Wolverine has been giving me the most enjoyment ever since Messiah Complex.

From Aaron's awesome Get Mystique arc to the current Millar future dystopia, i'm diggin' it all around.

Meanwhile, Emma and Scott continue to walk down street in Uncanny. YAY STORY!

[kate-pryde]

All of them, except First Class, which isn't really an X-book.

[chickrockguitar]

Dropped New X-Men/Young X-Men. Sadly missed :frown:
Also dropped X-Men (Legacy). I may pick it up after this 12 issues thing.

But that said, the relaunch has caused me to pick up Uncanny.
And X-Force is freakin awesome, but that's new anyway.

[Flinkman]

you hate everything, so the fact that you started this thread surprises me not.

where's the option for "NONE! i've actually added more books since MC ended!" cuz that would be me.

[psycwave]

I think im in the majority that said NONE. If anything I pick up more because of X-force, started picking up X-factor again(god I hope that Stroman guy isn't the permanent artist) and will start picking up Deadpool in September. never got Cable. i dont like him.

[Phil Hunn]

The core titles have gone bye-bye, and I'm now down to just X-Factor.

Mind you, I wasn't really buying that many X-titles anyway, so it's no great loss...

[Pessimistic4179]

I'm down to X-Force myself, and the rest of my faves are stuck in space, so I don't have any reason to pick up Uncanny or X-Men.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Same here...pre MC I collected only UXM, XM, XF and AXM (as schedule permited)...so no great loss for me either...I must admit, I have added X-force to my pull-list because of the re-launch and it now sits at #1 on my fave comic book list.

[Diablito]

Dropped X-Factor, Young X-Men, X-Men: Legacy, and Cable.

However, I still pick up Uncanny X-Men, and X-Men First Class. I also newly pick up X-Force, and Wolverine.

[rZi]

The only book I've dropped is Exiles.

I do not consider Legacy to be X-Men.

Same here!

Legacy is close to being dropped

Uncanny isn't great and i wish brubaker would leave the title already.

Young X-Men is a real poor excuse of a book

I don't pull X-Force or Cable so im kinda screwed.

Astonishing is the only book im actualy excited about.

[Joe Acro]

Where does the relaunch start in this instance? Only after Messiah Complex? Or earlier?

[streator]

i did not pick up young x-men when it replaced new x-men. so, one.

[Beast]

None. In fact I'm reading more books than I did before.

Only book I dropped was Wolverine after the Divided We Stand "Get Mystique" storyline.

But that wasn't due to the relaunch. I normally don't pull Wolverine anyway.

[matthewaos]

The only book I've dropped is Exiles.

I do not consider Legacy to be X-Men.

Uh, what??

I am dropping Wolverine. I had a history with that book with not letting me drop it, but I finally did it. So then they had to bring Aaron to force me to buy it, but now that he ended his story, I'm not buying Millar's except if I realize it's a good one, so I will go to TPB.

I never got to try Young or New X-Men, so we got nothing here...

I dropped UXM during the previous relaunch, though I love Brubaker but that story bored me to tears. I started for MC and I'm not stopping till #500, then we'll see...

I love Legacy and X-Factor, I think they are the best X-books right now, and X-Force and Cable are goos so far. I dropped AXM cause I found Wedon's story borring but Ellis is one of my favorite writers and Bianchi is awesome. Is there anything else? I don't care for "first class". Oh, and I dropped Wolverine Origins about a year ago. And I'm trying Deadpool.

[darknessatnoon]

Uh, what??


Novaya's answer was correct, however, he should not be enabling dr. who with serious answers.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

-1 thanks to X-Force...

Granted, I only used to pick the core titles. Still.

[Madrox84]

I haven't dropped any.

Though i wouldn't really call any of the Divided We Stand stories a re-launch...

[SkinFromBone]

None-I've tried all of the core X books post MC and I can't say I dislike any of them enough to drop yet.

Young x-men and X -Men Legacy aren't bad, but if they don't pick up the pace I might not renew down the line. X force and UXM are the two I'm enjoying the most. I might just subscribe to Wolverine next since it's been solid in DWS.

Here's to hoping AXM second stage is worth the hype :cool:

[Mr.EZ]

I've dropped Legacy and Young X-Men, and I'm about to drop Uncanny and X-Factor.

It's a bad thread because of the poll. I've already pointed out clearly how the poll cannot possibly give an accurate account of the general opinions on the relaunch.

And you apparently haven't learned your lesson that well.

[Hi-Fi]

When and where will the results be published? I'm DYING to read about them.

[Red Lotus]

I picked up two books. But I'm going to drop Cable.

[psycwave]

Why anyone picked up Cable is beyond me...

[Joe Franklin]

I only quit buying the New X-Men/Young X-Men comic, but not because of anything other then Skottie Young not being the artist on the book. I only bought it for Skottie Young's art in the first place. I don't have enough interest in the characters to buy it now.

[We R. Venom]

I dropped X-men/Legacy,a nd picked up Uncanny.

Skottie Young being off the book is a huge improvement.

Wasn't a fan of his art. And while he made teenagers look like teenagers....

He also made adults look like them. See Northstar in the Anole story. He looked like a kid.

[Seikun21]

In that same story he also wrote Jean-Paul with the dialogue of a teenager. An American teenager. Damn skrull wouldn't even bother to try a fake French Canadian accent.

[Jackob]

the relaunch made me start geting uncanny and x-factor so it is boosting it for me

[Beast]

[Seikun21]

Just wait a few more months before giving up on the character, who knows maybe Guggenheim will do a good job with him in Young X-men. Or maybe he'll be used really well in Uncanny (not as cannon fodder) or in Carey's SI mini.

Still waiting for Guggenheim to do a good job on ANYONE, not just Anole.

[prince_nightcrawler]

I am trying out Young X-Men and am continuing for the mystery aspect, but I want to drop it.

I wasn't buying X-Force, but then I saw how they were characterizing X-23, and I like Archangel, so I became interested and started picking it up.

I dropped Uncanny. I wanted to for a while anyway. The recent storylines have sucked and they're moving to SF, meh.

I buy Legacy cause I heart Rogue and the story is mildly interesting.

I have always thought Exiles, Excalibur, Wolverine, and Cable were stoopid.

[prince_nightcrawler]

Oh I also heart Magma.

[prince_nightcrawler]

Oh yes, and I also browse X-Factor on the store shelf, but I don't buy that either.

I buy New Warriors religiously though cause I heart Jubilee.

[Michael P]

I've half-dropped Uncanny X-Men. I won't be buying any issue that Greg Land draws.

[Swashbuckler]

All I dropped was Dr.Who.

[Novaya Havoc]

Actually, on second thought, I have dropped a lot!

- X-Men / X-Men Legacy
- X-Factor
- Exiles / New Exiles

I'm on the fence with Astonishing. I'd do the bad thing and read that in the store since it took forever to come out anyhow.

I never regularly bought New X-Men, Cable & Deadpool, or any Wolverine title.
So I do not buy Young X-Men or Cable.

The only books I buy from the line now are X-Force and Uncanny X-Men. I guess if you want to count it, I get Ultimate X-Men.

[xgeek52]

y'know i read no x-books for almost two years...part of it was financial but most of it was because i didn't like the direction after house of m and decimation...

messiah gave me hope...clear writing, sharper plots (maybe) decent artists says marvel have been seemily -- and the operative word in is 'seemily' -- gotten their act together...

but i won't be doing new exile, can't stand it...astonishing i not on my list though i may give it a look see...x-factor is out and i'm sitting on the fence with legacy, young x-men and genxt...

i'll do uncanny and x-force until they piss me off...

[KiplingKat]

I didn't "drop" X-Force so much as never collected it. I also don't buy Cable or Young X-men. The only reason I keep buying Uncanny is because I'm a complete-ist.

Everything else I'm "o.k." to "pretty happy" with.

[DungeonmasterJim]

The relaunch will be getting me to read Uncanny again. I haven't liked Brubaker's run at all. Astonishing was okay but I'm really looking forward to Warren Ellis's take on them - much more so than Whedon's.

I'm on board with Carey until he gets the boot because I've enjoyed his X-Men portrayals all along.

I don't bother with the other x-related titles.

[CyberHubbs]

Haven't dropped, but did fail to pick up Legacy this week. I'll pick it up next week, given that it looks like things will be slow.

Well, correction. I did drop Cable after the first issue, and did the same with New Exiles. X-Factor remains, but I'm uncertain if I can handle Stroman's art. Uncanny will continue to remain in my box despite Land's best attempts to personally infuriate me. YES, THAT'S RIGHT! HE'S DOING IT JUST TO GET AT MEEEEE!

Ahem.

X-Force is a given to remain, as is Astonishing.

[Michael Sean]

I also stopped buying comics regularly right before House of M. It wasn't anything to do with House of M or any of the stories though. My interest in comics comes and goes.

Also I got a really good job now and I find so many things I want to spend money on than comic books.

I do pick up Xmen books when I read an issue in the comic store I like.

I read Legacy, Uncanny, Astonishing, Ultimate, and First Class. If I like the story I'll buy it, but mainly I read in the store.

[pryde15]

Zero. And a bad poll.

[Maestro]

You're such a troll, drwho.

[Patrion]

I didn't drop any, per se. I was only picking up Exiles like, every other month, so I'm still sticking with that method. I'm also sticking to Young X-Men, hoping that a new cast will help it! Astonishing is gonna have to have a good damn explaination as to why Storm is there and why the hell they allowed her to have such a FUGLY uniform! I mean, *YUCK*! She's all tranny'chic! X-Men: Legacy is boring, but I'm staying faithful because I have tons of hope that Rogue is going to kick major @$$ when she returns! I'm actually picking up Wolverine because of the Miller story. I don't usually care for solo titles, but I'm going to follow the "Old Man Logan" storyline. X-Force does rock hardcore like everyone and their MOMMA thinks! X-Factor is awesome. I don't think it's lost anything since the relaunch, but it had better have a good reason for the new roster picks! Uncanny X-Men is my #1, as always!

[Absolut_Fresh]

i hate to be negative...but now that i think about it, i kinda have dropped a few cuz of the "relaunch".....

i let go of Xmen Legacy after TRYING and TRYING to get into it but i just found no interest in Xavier's past or anything about him really. he is always been such a background character to me....like its weird when he isnt around, but i dont really care to read about him.

i dropped Cable after 3 issues.....not my cup of tea and the art is really ill suited for an action type comic.

Young Xmen has till the end of the arc to impress me, which isnt looking good at the end of ish 3.

Uncanny and X-Force is really my only shining stars in my Xmen collection at the moment and i used to get at least 5 or 6 X-titles a month.

like i said, i hate to be negative about a medium i have loved for over 15yrs, but this latest launch really hasnt done a whole lot for me personally, but if it interests others or brings in new life long comic book lovers then its all good w/ me. i will just focus more on other franchises until a more appealing line up shows up in the X world again.

peace.

[Anna]

I just took a really bad financial hit, and am dropping about half of what I've been reading.

Well gee.

That, like...removes about half my vocabulary.

[XYagentguy]

I think cancelling New X-Men and creating Young X-Men was a huge bust. New X-Men was so much more enjoyable imo and those horrid costumes make me want to cry.

I think Cable is pretty god-awful, too. I think the writing is fine, but I just can't swallow the art (same thing that will soon happen to X-Factor).

Legacy revolving around Xavier has been a pleasant surprise but I would still MUCH prefer it to be a team book and not a fleshing out of Xavier's life and past.

I am hoping Astonishing doesn't disappoint.

So I think my drops are going to be Cable, Young X-Men, and X-Factor.

I would say X-Force and the writing teams were the two best things that came out of this relaunch. I miss Chris Bachelo (although I like Choi) and Eaton is meh at best.

[frog]

I guess if the word is actually in the comic being discussed it's kind of hard to avoid, isn't it?

[cholizo]

I've been picking up Legacy (X-Men), Uncanny, Astonishing, New X-Men, and X-Factor for a couple years now. I also have been grabbing First Class whenever I have a few spare bucks. After New X-Men ended, I simply started buying Young X-Men, and I immediately started getting X-Force.

I dropped Wolverine and Wolverine: Origins over two years ago, Exiles when Mimic died, and have no interest in Cable.

So I guess the relaunch caused me to pick up one extra book a month.

[Sentinel K]

I've dropped Young X-Men after #2 because it wasn't doing it for me.

I dropped cable after #2 because I found it quite boring and the art is not to my taste.

I dropped Wolverine after Get Mystique. I just can't be bothered with Old man Logan, even though i'm a McNiven fan.

I dropped X-Force, cos i missed #2 and decided to pick up the trade later on.

None of these have been down to the relaunch so I haven't voted.

I'm loving X-Factor, Uncanny and Legacy.

[bringthenoise]

Well, after Cable & Deadpool was cancelled, I didn't pick up Cable, but I don't know if that really.

Same thing with Exiles and New Exiles.

I have stuck with X Factor and am loving X Force, so depending on how you add it all up, I'm either down 1, where I was before, or up 1.

[HeckBoy]

Relatively speaking, I haven't dropped many just b/c I wasn't necessarily reading a lot of X-books [regularly] prior to the relaunch. That being said, I'll list out my position on the current X-books.

-Uncanny: Still reading it, although the DWS arc was pretty nondescript, so I'm looking forward to new stories.
-Legacy: I starting reading this again just slightly prior to MC but dropped after the first post-MC issue. Xavier's just not very interesting to me right now. The way the X-books have been moving along w/o him for the last couple of years has also added to that sentiment.
-Astonishing: I went thru the whole Whedon run (well, except for that Dangerous arc; for some reason I haven't been able to read it in its entirety yet), but I'm on the fence about Second Stage. The art's hit or miss w/ me, and I won't really have an opinion until I actually read it and get a "feel" for it.
-Young: Hated how they ended New X-Men and scattered the majority of the kids. I had reservations about the initial Young cast, but I still got the first issue. I haven't read it since. The story and the cast just don't do it for me. I might give it another shot depending on who they add in the next arc.
-X-Force: Probably the biggest surprise for me. I was originally not going to pick this up, but after Legacy and Young disappointed, I decided to give this a shot and I love it now. I admit I wasn't very interested in the initial "claws n' cut 'em up" premise, but that quickly changed, especially when Warren came into the fold.
-X-Factor: It hasn't been the same since Layla left, but I think X-Factor has been my most consistent X-book. Looking forward to Darwin and Longshot joining up (as well as Layla's return), but the new art is not to my liking.
-Cable: Haven't bothered with it yet, although the intersection w/ the main timeline might get me interested.
-Wolverine: Haven't been reading this book at all. The Old Man Logan arc looks promising, but I'll wait to see what happens next before deciding.

[drwho]

All I can say is the numbers sure do show a whole lot of dropping going on. :eek:

[Imraith Nimphais]

All I can say is the numbers sure do show a whole lot of dropping going on. :eek:
I know, right?? I don't know what Marvel is going to do about those 9 people who dropped all the books.

Thats about a hundred issues dropped not only by 9 people. Plus good lord there are about 1400 views so that is like a 7% drop. :eek:

Honestly.

I was walking around the street earlier and 2 people called me an offensive name.
There were eight people on the street .
Ergo, a quarter of England's population are gigantic homophobes.

People can mock, but it is quite disturbing.

Every single respondant to this poll has indicated that since the relanch, they have dropped books.

The only explanation is that Marvel must be doing something wrong.

Joe Queseda must be very worried by this thread. I wonder if he would consider hiring Dr Who to relaunch the line.

Also, it cannot be coincidental that there has not been many Sleepwalker appearances in the X Books recently.

Your poll is lame though because it doesn't take into account that people may have STARTED to pick UP books.

Which are probably all drwho aliases anyway.

But we'll never know cos it aint a public poll.

Thumbs down

[frog]

Or does this poll mean that we should be concerned that people are very clumsy with their comics? If they keep dropping them everywhere the books won't be in pristine shape and the market value will go down.

[Pach!]

Hi, I hate Sage and Chris Claremont. Emma Frost Dazzler are cool. I think I'll post here about those 4 subjects every single day/

Posting about 4 subjects a day would be 3 more than your usual: trolling.

[ClanAskani]

It's probably a little too early for this, but so far I haven't been too impressed with the relaunch, but it's not quite over yet.

Cable and Young X-Men have both been duds. I haven't dropped them yet, but they have until September to improve or I'm not bothering picking them up any more.

Legacy is okay, but not a must read for me. I've switched to trade waiting.

Uncanny hasn't impressed me, but I'll wait until Fraction is onboard to make a decision. I'm not a fan of Greg Land's art and I don't plan on buying the issues he's drawing.

I don't read X-Force because I don't like X-Men killing nor excessive violence.

I'm on the fence about Astonishing since I don't like the artwork nor Warren Ellis.

[Steven F.]

This thread is awesome in the way it proves certain things...but yeah, not about sales in any kind of rational way of course.

We can speak freely in X-Cres. It's all the rest of the discussion threads that he wants us to self-censor.

Also, I've been seeing the word harlot crop up recently and he warned us about that again.

I haven't called Storm that in months.

[rilokyle]

I can't really say why I've stopped buying comics per se, but yeah, I haven't been buying anything for the last few months. I absolutely loved "Messiah Complex," but I couldn't really get into the stories that unfolded in its aftermath. The only book I regret having missed these past few months is X-Factor, because that has yet to let me down. However, I do miss Pablo Raimondi pencilling on that book.

I am looking forward to UXM #500 though, and am planning to start reading comics again, but for the time being nothing has really caught my attention.

I miss Havok and Polaris. :frown:

[Dan'L]

This is the first time in years that I no longer buy Uncanny X-Men. I have also dropped X-Men Legacy and Cable. I am not even really too excited about Young X-Men. I also dropped Wolverine because of the Millar story. I think this relaunch was a bust. How many x-titles has this relaunch caused you to drop?

What an awful poll! Not only did I not drop any, I'm picking up and enjoying more than I did before. But these are not options on your poll.

[justin gilchrist]

I dropped all of the X-books I was buying before Messiah Complex. I don't know what happened, but they totally tanked. Messiah Complex rocked, but since then all of them have sucked.

I might read Legacy ( if Rogue ever returns) and that mini-series with Iceman, but that's it.

[Fatguy]

I have dropped none books. None books at all.

[carabas]

Didn't drop anything, and added X-Factor and Millar's Wolverine.

[Magneto Rocks]

I didn't buy any before, I now buy Wolverine for Millar, Uncanny for Magneto and Astonishing for Ellis.

So.... Minus Three.

[rwsmith]

Dropped Legacy and Young X-men, but picked up X-Force and Cable, so it's a wash. Still getting Uncanny, Astonishing and the two Wolverine books. So no real change for me in terms of number of books actually.

[Seres]

Hurray! A nice, positive thread. I've skipped over young x-men and cable, until they make some sort of connection to the rest of the x-men. I've carried onto legacy and through with x-factor, and started picking up X-Force and Uncanny, now the morlock thing is all over.. so I guess I drop none, all in all. So this is, essentially, a wasted post because I can't vote for 'broke even'. Yay.

Dont worry, it fits right in in this waste of a thread.

[Jack Flash]

this thread is dumb. I dropped it.

[worstblogever]

I think I'm picking up 2 more X-Books than I used to.

I hope it gives the poll skewed data and it explodes. Then, this abomination of a thread will give us all some worthwhile entertainment while we watch it slowly burn.

Oh yeah, this guy also hasn't dropped any books:

[DjMichael691]

I dropped Young X-Men and Excalibur

[Seikun21]

I dropped Young X-Men and Excalibur

New Excalibur was cancelled before the whole Messiah CompleX/Divided We Stand relaunch. But if you mean Captain Britain and MI-13 you are really missing out.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

It's had a big effect on my buying habits, I have to admit. A lot of the titles just don't impress me any more. The direction pre-Messiah Complex had me really enthused about X-Men for the first time in years. But now?

I dropped 4 so far, and that's why you've probably not been hearing so much from me on here recently.

I dropped Cable after #3, because I'm just not really very interested. I wanted to know more about the Messiah Complex child. But I wanted to know more about it in the actual crossover. Now it's fizzled out, and no reward was given, what do I care? It's not directly effecting anything else in the other titles. I have no reason to care for it.

I dropped Young X-Men after #2. The cast is bland, the artwork average, the writing pretty bad. New X-Men was the first X-satellite title on my pull list each month. This? This just stinks. It's every reason why youth X-Men books so frequently have failed since New Mutants.

I dropped Wolverine Origins. It was about time. I kept on with Wolverine because of the Mystique story, which though it ended as a bit of a kop out did at least draw my attention. I'll see what comes next.

I dropped New Exiles 4 issues in. I really wanted to like this, and on paper Claremont should be able to do great things with this. But the alternate universes and characters so far just seem so tired. The characterisations seem quite a way off, too. I'd love to read it for Psylocke, but it's just another bit of cash I'd rather spend on something else. I just don't get enough out of it.

The winners so far are X-Men Legacy, which is just so well-written, and X-Factor for the same reason. X-Force is there too. I'll be picking up Ellis' Astonishing run. It'll make a change from Whedon's. That was practically incoherent in places by Giant Sized Astonishing. And Uncanny (Which absolutely amazes me) may get dropped as well. I'm willing to see where Brubaker and Fraction might lead it. Hopefully Fraction will add something fresh to the feel of the book. It's gotten stale, and I was really underwhelmed by Divided We Stands four parter. It seemed incredibly rushed.

The bottom line is that I now find myself feeling the way I did in the late 90s. There are too many X-Books. And more importantly several which are just bad. I'm not really on a limited budget here, but why should I continue to buy something which offers me nothing new. Young X-Men is painfully old-hat. It's been done before, and far better. Why buy that, when new titles like Captain Britain & MI:13 or Guardians of the Galaxy have just launched - actually trying to do something NEW and doing it well?

[Trey]

Dropped

Cable after 1 issue
Young X-men, never bought
Legacy
Wolverine, after Millars 1st issue

Added X-force

Waiting to see Fraction, Land, Dodson on UXM to see if I will drop it. Bru's stories have just been mediocre at best. Other than the MEssiah issues.

[jester1436]

I don't see why anyone would consider "New Exiles" for this thread when it's completely void of relevance to the relaunch and the general franchise.

Also, people aren't actually dropping titles if they're not picking up things like "X-Force", "Cable" and "Young X-Men." They're essentially new products that couldn't be purchased prior to the relaunch. You can't really drop a book that just started in the same way you can the actual cemented titles like "Uncanny X-Men", "X-Factor", "X-Men: Legacy" and "Astonishing X-Men."

You could barely even consider any of the Wolverine based titles either - his status quo as a solo hero is almost independent from the X-Men franchise. He has his own stories and conceptual relaunches and whatever.

This whole thread is a misleading mess.

Why do posters get mad just because other people stated they do not like the books that they do? It is pretty obvious many people have posted here saying they did in fact drop books.
