Grant Morrison's X-Men run was the most exciting and different direction the book had been taken in decades, so of course exactly one issue after he was done Marvel retconned it all away. Who better to follow one of the greatest writers of comics today than Chuck Austen? We can forget all that when we read back through his book, and the first trade captures the nuances of all the cast (Wolvie, Cyke, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, and Beast) perfectly, while adding the complications necessary to bring said characters to life. Sure, it's cool to hate Cyclops, but Morrison turns his dickishness into a kind of charm.RATING: 95%

Need me a PR consultation with that motherfucker. Also, do you think the writers are getting too lazy to think of super hero names for X Women?
No, their super names are just terrible. "Marvel Girl" and the "White Queen." Well, I'm sure you knew that anyway.
I bet "White Queen" is a common pet name for both Neo-Nazi wives and white guys gay married to black men.
Yeah, I much prefer 'Negasonic Teenage Warhead'.
