I couldn't wrap my head around the resurrection stuff in HOX. It's baked into the plot and yet you still have characters running around pretending like death matters. I read an issue where Storm had some sort of terminal illness and she was fearful at the thought of dying. What? What am I missing? Why are you afraid of death? I felt like my time was being wasted reading it. Then, of course, you had to buy EVERYTHING in order to follow the story, which is MO of the Big Two (Marvel in particular) but this was on steroids.
This will never happen, but I think the greatest gift that could be given to X-Men comics and its fans would be to have one X title. (***pauses for laughter to die down***). No.......no, I'm serious. One comic that I buy monthly without hesitation, that I'm actually looking forward to is GI Joe A Real American Hero. It's not out of my nostalgia for the brand, it's because ONE guy is doing the book. He answers to no one (for better or worse) and I don't have to go anywhere else for the whole story. I will admit that some storylines don't do it for me as well as others, but I don't mind because that storyline will end and I'll see where things go next. I love the characters, I love one continuity, one numbering system (spanning four decades and FIVE publishers!), one title to follow, and I keep coming back. I know there's a laundry list of reasons this won't happen for X-Men, but it's a good dream.
