This is tough, but I'll give it to X-MEN! It revitalized Omega Sentinel, Lady Mastermind, and Cable, and introduced memorable villains, such as Pandemic, and the Children of the Vault! Plus, it had FANTASTIC Bachalo art! Hoorah!!! New X-Men is a close second!

Christopher O · 01-13-2008, 06:19 PM

I went with New X-Men. The book really seemed to find its groove with Young. X-Factor and X-Men both went off the rails a bit for me last year.

Pach! · 01-13-2008, 06:21 PM

Yeah, being specific to 2007 New X-men was in a better place than the other books.

podmark · 01-13-2008, 06:25 PM

It was close between New and X-Men for me, but I went with New X-Men. Quest for Magic and Children of the X-Men were just great.

Shyft · 01-13-2008, 06:35 PM

X-Men for me, although it was pretty close between it and X-Factor.

X-Men just had a drool worthy cast. Iceman Cannonball Rogue - top draw X-Men. 3 of the best. Mystique Sabretooth Lady Mastermind - 3 cool histories, 3 cool powersets, 3 cool question-marks loyalty wise. Cable and Karima, both great re-additions to the X-Men family.

Character interactions. Bobby-Sam, Bobby-Raven, Rogue-Raven, Sam-Nathan, Sabretooth-anyone. This book had it all.

Bachalo was doing the good stuff, giving especially good renditions of Iceman Cable and Rogue.

all top draw stuff for me.

Omega Alpha · 01-13-2008, 06:42 PM

Soon to be Not-Adjectiveless anymore for me.

RoguishGurl · 01-13-2008, 06:43 PM

I had to go with New X-men.

Toboe · 01-13-2008, 06:44 PM

Mike Carey's X-Men, hands down. Excellent cast, great characterization, reasonable purpose, original villians, interesting art.

New X-Men was sure entertaining and looked gorgeous with Skottie Young, but all the endless torture made me roll my eyes from time o time.

Carencey · 01-13-2008, 06:45 PM

I voted for X-Men. It's fantastic. It got me back into comics. I'm so sad it its ending in its existing team and format..

Brett P · 01-13-2008, 06:56 PM

Obviously New X-Men, hands down. Perfect in cast, writing, story and art.

It needs to win this year because there won't be another chance.

Not that it matters anymore though.

SunfireX · 01-13-2008, 06:58 PM

It was really hard between X-Men and New X-men but I picked

NEW X-MEN!

I felt like they really juggled a big cast and fleshed out some amazing characters. They also brought back Magik who is one of my all time favorites.

ClanAskani · 01-13-2008, 07:35 PM

I had a hard time deciding between New X-Men and X-Men, but I had to go with Mike Carey.

Fatguy · 01-13-2008, 07:51 PM

I voted X-Men, but this was really, really tough. I love both New X-Men and X-Factor.

But X-Men coming equipped with Bachalo pushed it over the edge ;)

Greg Anderson · 01-13-2008, 07:59 PM

Normally X-Factor would get my vote, but X-Men under Carey kicked far too much ass this yeah. X-Factor hasn't been as fun as it used to be with the X-Cell and Isolationist arc as compared to the stories before it. But Carey had me on suspense every second.
