X-Factor #213
In the aftermath of the battle with Hela, the team is in upheaval. One member leaves, another arrives. And Rictor and Rahne finally have it out over the identity of her baby's father.
I thought this would bring a unique pov. Instead it was predictable and preachy and not worth it.

Mimi checks into an isolated mental health facility in Topanga to ride out the scandal, but as sound baths and crystal healings by day give way to restl...

X-Men: Legacy #243
"FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION" CONCLUSION! When the X-Men used an engineered virus to defeat Bastion's army of mutant-exterminating Sentinels, they didn't realize it would also compromise one of their own: Karima Shapandar, a.k.a. Omega Sentinel. With her reactivated Sentinel programming taking over, the X-Men find themselves in dire straits...and...
Uncanny X-Men #531
The X-Men on Utopia are getting sicker and sicker and their powers are shutting down one-by-one. Wolverine's healing factor is down and he's suffering adamantium poisoning, but he's much better off than the mutants whose mutation defines their bodies, like Rockslide and Mercury. And if that weren't bad enough, The Collective Man has Chinatown in th...

Uncanny X-Men #530
"QUARANTINE" Is there anything worse than that slow, sinking, feeling like you're getting sick? You can't get warm. Your bones hurt. Your throat closes and your chest gets too heavy every time you breathe and then you know you're doomed... so what if it happened to all the X-Men, all at once? The Sublime are back and they've unleashed a contagion ...

Nest story, but sometimes I couldn’t tell what was happening. Like the Father Box—I couldn’t see what I was supposed to be seeing.

It’s incredible to try to comprehend that the editorial team thought, planned, and chose the creative team for a title that was supposedly important to this era of the X-Men,and delivered this atrocity. Bad art, bizarre story. The X-line is dead.

X-Factor #211
It's a battle royale in the streets of Vegas, as Madrox and Longshot discover that sometimes the only thing worse than a plan that doesn't work is a plan that works all too well.
Astonishing X-Men #42
"Meanwhile..." Storm, Beast, Colossus and Agent Brand have all been implanted with Broodlings and it's only a matter of time until they are full-on Brood themselves. Only Kitty and Lockheed are left, but is there anything they can even do to help their teammates? This story comes to its amazing conclusion.
Astonishing X-Men #41
