Generation M

This series spun out of the events of House of M, a lame kind of storyline in which the Scarlet Witch uttered the words "No More Mutants," reducing the Marvel comics mutant population to 200 people. It was poorly executed and way overhyped, but Generation M by Paul Jenkins and Ramon Bachs was a pretty decent result. It follows a news reporter, Sally Floyd, as she writes a column about recently depowered mutants. For some it is great because they can now be eligible for professional sports (in the Marvel Universe mutants are banned from pro sports), or they are no longer a lizard person, but for some it is bad because they used to have fire for a heart (Chamber), or they liked being able to fly. This is woven with the story of a serial killer who is murdering depowered mutants and harassing Sally Floyd, and her own dealing with the recent death of her daughter, who had a mutation that caused her to start getting younger until she died. It's a great character piece that I definitely recommend picking up even if you haven't read House of M, which was awful.
