X-Men discussion

What was the worst X-Men story you had read? I didn't really like since all the stories were not connected to each other and they weren't written very well.

I actually stopped reading Astonishing X-Men after Joss Whedon's run ended, so I have no idea what is currently going on in that series.

Yeah, I liked it better when Lockheed was just Kitty's pet dragon and nothing more.

Wow, where to begin...?

Professor Xavier has an evil twin sister, also a mutant, also bald that hijacks his body.

Scott Summer's girlfriend that looked just like Jean Grey and nearly everything involved with that.

90% of the first year of Ultimate X-men ( some nice character moments, but everything else was horrible)

The entire team faking their deaths, but not changing their costumes or code names, and going to hide in Australia.

Anything involving Cyclops from the Grant Morrison run and everything that came after.

Disguising themselves as mutant hunters in the first couple years of 'X-factor'

Wolverine: Origins

I could do this all day...

Lockheed turned out to be working for a secret government agency...?
Okay, I kind of like that one.
We all suspected Lockheed was secretly the genius of the X-teams.

Phalanx Covenant for me. It had potential but ended up being the crossover that had me stop reading X-Men for years and monthlies altogether (except for X-Factor). Since then I pick up trades of the good stuff after the fact, and am much happier with the overall quality.

Just to add:

Wolverine and Storm becoming a couple.

Time traveling teen X-men. Yeah, that fixed things.

Exactly!

Why do so many writers want to include that neo-punk Quentin kid in stories...?
Lord, after a page I want him dead!

I don't know why Quentin is always being featured in these books. I never really cared about him.
