This thread's for all of the X-Men comics and spin-offs (X-Force, X-Factor, New Mutants etc.), whether they're decades old or brand new.
- Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate X-Men, X-Men 2099, X-Men "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
- X-Men 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Wolverine, Deadpool, Ms. Marvel and Cable.
- Characters and comics that originated in X-Men and its related books but are no longer connected to the franchise are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread
which covers them.
Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their X-Men related stories here.
Discussions that are only about X-Men adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.
Please follow the spoiler policy rules
- tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).
I have to say that the X Men franchise has been going on for decades. Maybe not as many as the Superman franchise has, but it still has quite a number to it.
One thing I am certain of is that the franchise seems to be subverting Status Quo Is God in recent years. Magneto and Professor Xavier seem to be fading into the background, with Cyclops and Wolverine taking their places. A lot of villains associated to the X-Men have been killed off and have actually stayed dead so far.
All this gives me the general impression that the franchise is trying to reinvent itself. Do you think that's what's going on here?

I think her last boyfriend was that Shi'ar dude with a sword. Korvus, or something like that? I'm pretty sure he's fine, last we saw him.
Are Rogue and Remy even Jewish? How are they able to get married under a Rabbi?
New York Times article on X-Men#30 and interview with Guggenhiem
Sounds like the outcome of the issue came about due to Executive Meddling and wasn't the original plan
Why does that not surprise me?

Joe "marriage is boring and just a piece of paper" Quesada strikes again. I don't care if he's responsible for this time or not, but that's how he's going to be remembered in my mind.

Did he got dumped at the altar or something?
He got divorced. I don't know where his head is at now, but he's allowed things like the Spider-Marriage to come back in recent years, albeit through the use of alternate reality books.

X-Men Gold and Blue are ending at #36. So I guess that sets the stage for Uncanny coming back.
And I know Guggenheim’s direction has been contested but I liked it and it was better than Extraordinary X-Men, please give it that much.
That's like the lowest bar to clear.
Bring back UXM and give it to Kelly Thompson!
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.
UXM? Yes, bring back Ultimate X-Men! It would be better with Millar, but he's kinda busy with his own projects, so Thompson will have to do.

Kitty: Pitor let's not get married. Pitor: Da. Gambit: Hey Rogue lets get married. Pitor: Da.
Mileena Madness
In spite of pulling a bs blue balls moment by having Kitty and Piotr not tie the knot, all things consider this is the best Comic Book Weddings ever by actually ending the biggest Will They Won’t Theys in comic history ROGUE AND GAMBIT JUST GOT MARRIED.
Now its a moment of time for when Applejack gets married to Jean Pierre Polneraff.
Speaking of Rogue and Gambit there's a CMX sale themed on them.
Is X-Treme X-Men any good? It's Claremont but I've heard negative things about it.
It's good. It's not Claremont's best work — nothing after his original run is — but it's still good fun. Much better than his second Uncanny run. I couldn't even finish the first issue of that shit.

Anyone notice X Men returning to prominance? The preview of Cap 1 might have revealed Selene.
Mileena Madness Coates is a massive X-Men fan, so that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
I see Guggenheim threw in one last Author's Saving Throw in Gold#31 for Kitty and Colossus fans
Having DOFP's Kate Pryde "remember" the day after the wedding with Peter leaving the team, and then revealing she's back with him and pregnant with his child. Now, while the whole turns out to be a projection of Rachel's bad future by Mesmero to motivate her into attacking the other X-Men in the present, Marc intended an ambiguity to things by showing the perspectives of other characters in the timeline, not just Rachel in particular

Good, because building that for no pay off is just frustrating.
Well, it still has a bit of a Downer Ending Colossus is killed

Eh, he is a X-Man. He'll walk it off.

"If you get hurt, hurt ‘em back. If you get killed, walk it off." That's the motto of the X-Men.

I'm going to call it now; Kurt and Rachel is going to end in someone dying, cause her last boyfriend ended up as a pile of ashes.
