Is this a low point for the X-men?

[KusaSan]

The X Men have been divided into two groups. The 'good guys' are those affiliated with the Avengers, who work for the noble law. The 'bad guys' are like Cyclops and his team, who are evil because they oppose the noble law. In short one of the most complex comic book franchises ever written have become over simplified. Good people DO NOT oppose the Government and what it stands for. Some fans are cool with this. As someone who's been let down by every politician she was stupid enought to vote for, I can't stomach seeing my favourite characters working for a bunch of state sponsored control freaks. My affection for X Men is over, but it's for purely personal reasons. For others it's the best thing that's ever happened to them.
Are they at an all time low?
It's a matter of taste simple as that.

















It's all a matter of taste, simple as that.

Wait a minute, you're a woman ?

Anyway, yo can't except more for comics book nowaday since because of our actual system all that matter is making money. Therefore, they don't acre about anything else than selling books for making money. Sadly, money is everything in our current society.

For X-Men themselves, yes it's a low point for them; for X-Men comics and fans I doubt.

It has been a few years since the X-books were this bad as a whole.

Regrettably, it looks to me like it's only going to get worse and stay that way for a little while.

Good people DO NOT oppose the government? Does that make G. Washington and S. Boilivar bad people Or how about Harriet Tubman. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela? Good people are supposed to oppose the government when it acts evilly, Try reading the Declaration of Independence you only have to read the first paragraph. The MU government is not like ours it tends towards the malignant and bigotry is part of MU law.


I think you are confusing what good means, if it means sheepish obedience to peole that hate you then you have it right,

Lol it's Wanda's fault doom had the life force, and it's Wanda's fault that Cassie's father died hence Cassie fighting for him. And it's Wanda's fault the mutants were decimated leading to this situation in the first place. Everything is kinda Wanda's fault.

That's funny, I thought I remembered Patriot butting in when they tried to repower the Life Force within her, causing her to lose her concentration knocking the Life Force into Doom.

Good books:

(2) x-factor
(3) Prob UXF
(4) ANXM
(5) Prob UXM

That's not so bad.

Not bad at all, IMO.

Gambit's also pretty good, judging by the previews.

I'm sad to Gillin away form the X-men but I like where the X-books are right now. I've been a bit disappointed with Gillen leaving. Cable and X-force has been disappointing and I don't read Wolverine and the X-men, but I'm really liking Uncanny X-men and All-New X-men. Really looking forward to Uncanny X-men as well. Thematically I just really like the X-men right now. Revolutionary X-men is a great continuing point after near extinction.

Much to my surprise and delight Bendis is doing a great job with ANXM

Yeah he is. Although I think it's kinda hard to tell a bad story when Cyclops is one of your driving characters.

[Psyknight]

I like ANX, Uncanny Avengers, Cable and X-Force, and Gambit. I'm looking forward to Uncanny X-Force v2 and Uncanny X-men. I might start reading Adjectiveless X-men again. This doesn't feel like a low point to me.

I'm afraid that the X Men aren't so much at an all time low as essentially at an end. Despite so many titles with 'X' in them. The 'regular' X Men have become assimilated into the Avengers; the others are presented as the villains - why else would their former team mates be hunting them down. The JGI is not the Xavier School. The Xavier School wasn't under the thumb of a government sanctioned 'superhero' team.

I very much doubt seeing any of this change in the near future as this is exactly what Marvel's current bosses want.
