For Your Consideration: WATXM or Uncanny

tell kusasan to post for himself!

Stop it. It took me a lot of time to chase him about. I don't want you summoning him saying his name three times. The Ilk already inflicted that nazi Valerie and teddyhasnobrain that way. Eneough is enough.

Kubert drawing him will really take me back to the days when Jean and Cable were getting it on.

I'm getting a chubb just thinking about it...

Uncanny.

UXM got better after the first arc while WatXM's joke is wearing thinner by the issue.

lol unsure if you actually know what pressed means, because you just admitted that you are in fact, super pressed about the blue team.

Lol what definition of pressed are you using then?

Anywayz...

Hope chooses to go to Logan for help. She knows who wants to use her and who only wants to do what's right.

The OP question has created an artificial notion that a reader has to like one book over the other. 'Both' is the best option. The x-books hit an enhance stride just as DC's reboot rebooted my butt out of buying their comics - the timing couldn't have been better.

It doesn't make you a bad person to have a preference.

I buy both, but I know I enjoy Uncanny more.

Has to be Uncanny for me. Gillen is a brilliant writer and understands all the characters. And i have to say I'm a fan of Land's art. Maybe it's just me but Uncanny just seems to be the more intelligent book (dealing with politics/racism/the extremes people will go to) whereas WATX seems a bit too young for me at times to the point where I am considering dropping it. Aaron seems to have a lot of ideas going on but as soon as he introduces one he has already moved onto the next. His ideas aren't really given the time to flourish.
Finally, I also have the impression that if anything truely significant is going to happen in the x-books it's going to happen in Uncanny X-men (and also X-force).

Can't wait for Jon Hamm to place his drink on top of Harry Potter's head.

This makes sense. Most Gold side loyalist here seem enamored with old times and have trouble moving on.

Splitting the books up was brilliant, frankly. And keeping Rogue on a satellite, ancillary book away from everything? Even better.

I dunno, they sure seem to have moved on from current AXM and Legacy.

I had to choose Uncanny. WATXM is cute (Idie and Broo are pretty adorable) and breezy, but I don't really find myself caring about what happens next or eager to pick up the next issue. Uncanny, on the other hand, has a cast full of strong personalities (more of whom I like than in WATXM) that have been given great voices by Gillen with a high potential for drama and conflict, and it's actually exploring thematically interesting plots and foes. I do think the art in WATXM is generally better, though I wouldn't want that style for Uncanny at all, but the storytelling in Uncanny is so much stronger to me that it wins. Uncanny is often one of my most anticipated books each month.

The other thing going against WATX for me is that aaron seems to just be throwing any idea out there without any natural progression to get to that point. Take for example Iceman kissing kitty...where did that come from?!? And then compare this to how Gillen is slowly showing the cracks in scott & emmas relationship (the flirtation with namor, scott burying his feelings (a natural character trait for him) about Unit forcing them together, emma being annoyed at scott's lack of jealously, etc). #natural progression.
