Wolverine and the X-Men

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Anyone else reading the new X-Men series, Wolverine and the X-Men? I haven't been following the X-Men in a while, but this has been an enjoyable comic so far.

Issue #4 ended with a big surprise for one of the characters:

Spoiler:

Shadowcat's pregnant, and within a couple of panels went from not showing to huge.

I'm wondering if Quentin/Kid Omega is going to have some fat jokes up his sleeve.

Wolverine and Kid Omega had some great dialogue back and forth in issue 3. I'm curious about what will happen the the Brood student. Most of my favorite X-Men are on Wolverine's team. This seems like a good book for jumping back on board with X-Men comics.

I havent bought an X-Men book since Grant Morrison left Marvel and the company proceeded to undo his whole run ("Magneto a drug-addicted serial killer? NO WAY, IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE[/Facepalm]). I'm glad I havent picked it up since then. Scott is an emo, Logan's a leader (wtf? He's supposed to be the LONER, making him a leader is uncreative and lazy), Jean's dead (sorta), and they keep promising they'll do things with Hope but she's just a dangling Jean tease most of the time. And now they've got a cival war going on rather than unite against greater problems. Yawn.

I doubt this book will change my mind

Don't have to worry about Cyclops being in this book. His team is over on Uncanny.

I have to disagree with Wolverine. I think keeping him as a loner would be uncreative. I see it as character development, and it isn't like we haven't seen him take a mentor role before.

I haven't read X-Men since before House of M, and I don't know what happened in Schism, but I don't really care. This book has been entertaining regardless.

Character development? More like Missing the point.

Him as a loner creates far more creative possibilities. Fact.
