Help Needed with X-Men Titles...

*Donnie* · 08-01-2012, 01:20 AM

I was always a huge X-Men fan throughout my youth, and I still love the franchise and the characters. However, I stopped reading the comics when they branched off into what seemed like six or so different titles.

Does anybody here read any X-Men title? Last I checked, there were two titles with the "main" team, and that confused the crap out of me with the other spin-off titles. Cyclops was leading both teams, I think, and Wolverine has a few solo titles too, doesn't he? Is Beast still a team member? He was always my favorite...

Anyway, any help that you can give me concerning the above questions, which titles you prefer if you read X-Men, and where the "current" team are at in terms of storyline and roster, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I've checked Marvel.com for these answers, but their character profiles and story-lines seem outdated since they're constantly changing. Practically every time I even TRY and pick up an X title somebody died and is brought back to life, etc. It's just so confusing...

Uncanny X-Force is the only one I read. They drew me in by having Deadpool on the team, but it really is one of the best reads in comics I've seen in a long time. It even brought back Age of Apocalypse into prominence and gave that a spinoff.

Cool, who's the current line up?

Bump for the folly that is the one current thread trending for many sub-forums.

Why are you bumping a thread in a subforum that gets almost zero traffic? Please do not double post like that.

So you don't know any X titles to check out?

What? That's not what I'm here for. I'm here to correct what you've done.

Uncanny X-Men is kinda dumb right now, if that helps you at all.

The X-Books are crap. Last decent one was X-Men Forever, and THAT read like Chris Claremont's own private fanfic...only it was public.

The only good title x-men has right now is Uncanny X-force and Wolverine and the X-men is alright, but i would wait till AvX is over to hop onto that book

*Donnie* · 08-03-2012, 11:06 AM

Thanks fellas.

So it seems like Uncanny X-Force might not be a bad title to pick up.

Isn't Marvel rebooting all of their titles like DC did in the near future?

**Jester** · 08-03-2012, 05:23 PM

Haven't really read an X-book since Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men. Loved that series.

It's not a continuity reboot, and it's not all titles.

Wolverine, Deadpool, AoA Nightcrawler, Psylocke, EVA. Though P-Locke might be out as of last issue.

The X-men book apparently to pick up is the the All New X-men title by Bendis. Where the original team from X-men #1 comes to the future and meets the current roster of the team. Marvel is billing this as the big title.

To me my personal favorite right now is Wolverine and the X-men it's only 18 issues in and has been giving me a lot of the old time feel of X universe. It has fun issues then serious stories. I recommend it.
