    With the Decimation story arcs following up on House of M, the necessary shake up in status quo is bound to provoke some unexpected developments. Such is the case with X-Men, and this title is a must for followers of the mutant crusade. But X-Men is still underperformingit is outpaced by the several Decimation miniseries and also by the surprisingly clever New X-Men. In a Marvel Universe turned on its ear, there is no excuse for a comic that is merely good. X-Men should be Astonishing. It should be Uncanny. But it seems without the hyperbole of its sister titles, the adjectiveless X-Men aspires only to mediocrity. Read Full Review

    So again, this title has made me fail in my job as a reviewer, as Im really not sure if its any good or not. I think the odd stylistic quirks may be deliberate, but even if so, Im not sure they work as intended, and the surreal and detached feel they give the comic as a whole does not, for me, make for a generally enjoyable read.
