Wolverine & the X-Men, opinions on it so far.

just seems to be a filler book.

The meat of the x-stories will be in all new and uncanny.

To me, all new is pretty much WATXM already...

I dropped it right before the AvX tie in. But I was enjoying it. Was mostly reading it for Bachalo art mixed with some insanity.

Yeah, his art is really good, that's partly why I'm excited for the new Uncanny X-men

It does feel like filler. It's too bad it's the only place where we can see Rachael.

It is a X-men book so the X-men in the book should not be teaching they should be stopping villains away from the school. There are a lot of good teen X-men related characters so they need to take all the crappy ones out of the book and use the good ones. The school should be ran by a real staff of teachers.

All-New X-Men has sort of usurped the setting of Wolverine and the X-Men and its position as the counter X-Flagship to Uncanny X-Men. This book really needs to find its way, though I think the better way to go might be to split it such that the 'wallpaper' students have their own book, which I think plenty of people who read this book are more interested in, and the faculty has something a bit more serious and, presumably, more conventional. I just think the cast is too large and the book is being pulled in too many directions at once to be good.

I don't have a problem with comics not being intimately connected to the main thrust of the MU; my favourite X-book has been X-Factor for years, but in that book you're dealing with a cast that isn't appearing in a billion other books, and the main focus is on character development for a small group, with one-two characters forming the centre.

The problem here is that there's no central focus, and there's too many characters for it to work as an ensemble of equally spotlit characters. There are some issues that are great – when Aaron has a clear focus – but when he tries to address everything at once, it seems like things start to fall apart.

I may consider picking it back up. The next couple issues will help me determine that.

Aaron has no direction, random shit just keeps happening to the students at the the jean Grey school.

Don't forget the one issue now and again where a random character (i.e. Rachel or Warbird) gets forced shine.

i love it....it feels fresh and its a very fun read. nice art with a great cast...finally some x kids that arnt annoying. also the best avx tie ins..it may not be flagship but i still think its necessary to have a book from the point of view of the students. weather its essential or not it still provides good backup stories for all new x men......
aarons doing a great job and this book has exceeded my expectations...

[smokeysabear]

I dropped this after issue...19 I think. It started as a pretty enjoyable book, but I eventually began losing interest. The Doop issue was brilliant (of course) but I think the AvX tie-ins killed it for me. As somebody who wasn't reading AvX, it felt like all of the momentum was lost and it slowed to a crawl.

I don't really see myself hopping back on the title either, as my pull list is already pretty bloated as it is.
