    Default Which title to drop?

    I'm currently catching up on AvX, read all 12, but have to catch up on Uncanny and on Wolverine and X, is Wolvie worth it? I've heard it's not really a X book, I'm to issue 11 on it. Uncanny I am finishing cause I only have 5 issues to get. And then AvX consequences, I am fe sure getting All new and Uncanny when it comes out but don't know if Wolvie and X would be worth keeping up with

    I have to say keep reading Uncanny. The last few issues were phenomenal in my books. Especially the last two issues

    Wolverine and The X-Men is totally fun, don't listen to the humorless drones..
    But to answer your question, the Wolverine solo title is not very much tethered to the main X-Men titles. The issues by Bunn are okay, but the stuff by Loeb was pretty bad.

    Fixed it for you.

    You should definitely pick up WATXM--ignore the haterz.
    Thus do I write the first chapter of my new scripture. And the first verse is "Let it all burn."

    As Bendis is the architect of the X-books now, I would say stick with All New and Uncanny but I am loving Wolverine and the X-Men, usually is my favorite book of the month. Though it does tend to be lighter and more fun than a typical x-title.

    WATXM isn't shit, but it's not my cup of tea either and I dropped it.

    These are the X-boards, where everyone's opinion is better than the other guys. And we're pretty vocal about.

    So, with that being said, we could probably recommend you which titles will suit YOUR likes/needs better if you tell us which characters you enjoy the most.

    Otherwise your thread is going to turn into a troll fest, and while those are fun and entertaining, they won't really answer your questions.

    While Wolverine & the X-Men can be fun (last issue seemed to be pretty good), it's not for everyone. At first I found it funny, but eventually I started noticing some stuff that annoyed me.
    Kid Omega wasn't the kid that stood up for something back in New X-Men, now he was just a kid that wanted attention and apaprently starts riots for everything.
    Idie went from being a somewhat complex character in Gen Hope, to a girl that is just there to be creepy.
    Kitty getting over Colossus so quickly just felt wrong, and starting a relationship with Iceman felt too forced.
    In general, Aaron doesn't take the characters too seriously (with some exceptions, like issue 12 with Rachel, or even issue 18). He forces some of his stuff too much, to the point that it breaks your suspension of disbelief.
    It's not a bad book, it's just not for everyone.

    Well, WATXM is a good book to drop… is like a Sunday morning cartoon, and is not strained by deep plot, so you can pick it up if ever catch your attention again… But most probably it won’t, and that’s alright.

    WATXM isn't worth it. Finish Uncanny instead.

    yes. Consequences was good and important to the stories playing out in ANXM.
