To me Morrison is doing a terrific job. His E is for Extinction 3-parter is to me the best X-Story since the Age of Apocalypse. I found the next lot of villains, the U-Men to be very original and interesting. They would kill mutants, take what body part(s) made them special and graft it onto themselves. There's also the idea of the X-Corporation, setting up mutant safehouses worldwide, in places like Paris, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Melbourne.

good gawd, isn't he driving anyone else NUTS.

Imperial, bleh, E is for Extinction, meh, 117, I liked, Germ Free Generation, I liked the art, adn was allright. Kordey arc, was neat, although controversial.

I think his ideas are cool, but his writing style needs to be smoothed out more.

And NOva I only liked in hindsight. never when I read the comics with her in it.

I like him. He's certainly different, but he takes old stories and revives them well. His slow ending of Jean and Scott's relationship, the return of the Phoenix Force, evil twins.... it's so cliche, but yet it WORKS. I think he's great.

I actually got chills seeing the Phoenix rise up behind Jean in the form of that silverware, and the thing with Magneto's message was moving. I thought that was a great tribute to Magneto.... though I still bet someday someone will bring him back.

I'm thinking Mags is still going to be dangerous to Xavier.

But,I'm hoping he stays dead. And it was a good tribute issue. But, what he's done really hasn't impressed me except for the possibilities.

Anybody looking forward to Frank Quitely's 'Riot at Xavier' arc? Vince is still my fave NXM artist!

Quitely is such a good artist, i loved the way he draw in the "nuff said" issue

it was awesome.

I rather like New X-Men. the last arc wasn't so great, but overall i really like it! I'm liking that Morrison is shaking up things after they ahd been stagnating for a long time.

Interesting stuff, I wonder if I should add Jack-ass as an alias to Xorn's bio if and when I can get back into X-Fan. :p Good to see Martha the brain back though, and best of all Quitely's doing the art.

Thanks Jill.
