    Default am i the only one not feeling the x-books lately?

    back in the day i use to run to my comic store i was so excited to pick up my weekly x-men issues!! now, half the time i walk into my comic store and look at the x-men section i find nothing that appeals to me! the only book i seem mildly interested is new x-men but the same excitement i had while reading x-books like x-treme and uncanny and exiles is pretty much gone.:( am i the only one who feels this way?

    What you need is a good dose of X-Factor! That should make you feel better.

    Pretty much, yep. But maybe you should try something outside the X-Books for a change?

    I get excited about Astonishing, but not the way I did in the glory days when I couldnt wait to read what happened in an episode.
    Around the time of Nicieza was the last time I was really excited about the X-Men.

    Heh. That's the one X-Book I read that I'm not feeling. Dull, dull, dull.

    The last time I was even remotely hyped on the x-book was around the time Gambit was a traitor storyline. Now I just buy to buy, but the new writers are definite improvements.

    I am completely uninterested in Astonishing.The book was at its best in the first 6 issue arc,i miss the humor its goten way to dark.Right now I think all the X-books are in a very dark tone right now so i'm not enjoying them to much.New X-Men which was probably my last pick has become my first its gotten really good with a small an centered cast of characters.

    i know how you feel. i lost interest shortly after the first movie came out and they put the team in those god awful leather outfits with that ugly neon yellow "x" ewww, that and this "secondary mutation" garbage totally lost me. Sad to say but the AOA was the pinnacle for me, its been down hill every since IMHO

    So Astonishing and the other books are too dark, but New X-Men is fine? Huhbuhwhat?

    Are we thinking of the same book. The one that has played out like a snuff film for months?
