House of X / Powers of X

[TMF Jeff]

I used to read the X-men religiously when I was a kid. Eventually I stopped because I got bored of it, which I attribute more to the departure of Chris Clairmont and the increasing splits into more and more X-comics than to any growing-up on my part

And the ridiculous complexity of the history of these splitting, re-forming, splitting again comics books kept me from going back.

But this summer they're rebooting the series in what is increasingly looking like an absolutely brilliant storyline. It's happening in two comics (which are confusingly set up to be read on alternating weeks, but not in alternating order) called House of X and Powers of X.

I don't want to spoil it, especially since it just started and I barely understand it myself. But I highly recommend it to any fans of superhero comics. It's adult and clever and original.

Not happy with how Xavier is acting. He's forgotten that there are normal humans who have mutant siblings, sons, daughters, parents, (aka FAMILY) as well as normal humans who no hatred towards mutants whatsoever. It upsets me that Xavier has given up on his dream. Also recruiting Sinister, Apocalypse, Magneto, and Nanny to be a part of Krakoan society? Has he LOST HIS MIND? I don't think this is going to end well at ALL.

In fairness, this is after 8 failed attempts to do it differently. They're scrambling to find an idea that will work.

Eh, when you don't suceed, try try again! I don't think Gandhi and King would have given up on their dreams for a better future for equal civil rights. Sad to see Xavier and his children do so.
