Victims of NOW: The X-Men.

[Master of Sound]

X-Men like Rogue, Havok, Sunspot, Cannonball, Sunfire, Beast and Wolverine are now Avengers. Why not the other way around as well? The Avengers had some mutants here and there. Why doesn't Marvel switch them as well. It seems Marvel has Avengers as their favorites adding X-men to Avengers teams, but not the other way around.

There seems to be no actual 'X-Men' team anymore, while there were several before. Both X-Forces are not considered as X-Men teams, but on the run or on a kill trip, black-ops etc. W&TXM is more about teachers and students. Uncanny is gonna be about yet another team on the run. Legacy is about one mutant. Where are the real X-Men teams? Is Astonishing the only book we get with a 'real X-Men' team?

What I don't like right now is that you have like what 2 books which are not on the avenger side while the other one are. You keep seeing Wolverine and co in the other book while you can only see Scott and those who are not with the avenger in two books. I want more books for those who are more or ess siding with Scott or at least not with the Avenger.

Legacy and soon to be relaunched adjectiveless might be what you're looking for. Legion isn't taking sides and adjectiveless has a niche to fill somehow.

Maybe the Marvel heads think its easier to create new X characters than lame Avengers. Regardless having X characters used to pad Avengers shows the properties strength.

So Marvel Now is up and running and a lot of X-Men seem worde off then before.

Fan favorite X-Men are now without a team and of some of those we’re not even sure where they are, like Warpath, Danger, Namor, Pixie, Hepzibah, Marvel-Girl (I mean Rachel), Doc Rao, Madisson Jeffries and others.

Then we had the concept X-Recruits, that totally is gone now. Surge, Crosta, Dust and friends are now added to the other wallpaper kids in W&TXM. Some seem to have gone off radar totally, like Prodigy and Loa.

We had other residents on Utopia, like Bliss, Boom-Boom, Stinger, Dragoness, Uniscione, Erg and prisoners like Empath and Scalphunter and they are back to limbo.

Some of the New Mutants are now without a team: Cypher, Magma and Warlock

X-Men like Rogue, Havok, Sunspot, Cannonball and Sunfire going off to become Avengers.

I must say, I do not like what NOW is doing to the X-Verse.

Discuss!

All the characters u mention are turrible. Loa? LMAO.

Adjectiveless is being relaunched? I just thought that was Uncanny..

As much as I don't want to admit, thus far, Bendis' ANXM has been enjoyable, even with having 2 of the 05 running around in it, and very little Kitty (as yet..all will be forgiven Bendis, if you treat Kitty & Rachel right in this book...well, for the most part) and am interested in his Uncanny relaunch.

oddly enough, i totally dig the NOW line of books however, that admiration of the new direction totally hinges on a little book called X-treme X-men that is just balls to the wall ridiculous fun and good measure towards fans. Like, ANXM, WaTXM, UXF all bring something to the table in their own ways as flagships, respectively, but there is a lot of drastic and i can understand from a certain viewpoint, dissatisfying changes happening as well. It's a big shuffle. But then you have a book like X-treme, or even Legacy, where literally anything can happen, any "c-lister" can pop up and have a go in the limelight, and the writers of these books have the opportunity (like PAD's X-factor) to tinker with their them. without them, the line would be kind of bogged down in post AvX grittiness where so much tying up of loose ends and reestablishment of top tier characters makes wading through the mythos kind of a chore.

also. what the hell happened to Gentle? and is he still the last x-virgin?

Adjectiveless is being cancelled. Presumably it will be relaunched.
