Pretty much anything with Jubilee for me is an instant-buy... buuuut, I’m huge into Generation X, really enjoy the characters that make up the main Animated Series cast, and love most of the movies/games. The arcade game, animated series, and Pryde of the X-Men cartoon got me hooked on the franchise. So I suppose I lean towards titles with Jubes in them, but follow and enjoy the rest.
[QUOTE=Tycon;4597840]I consider the X-Men, more so than any other franchise, to be a book about family (staring right at FF as I say this). I have my favorites but I'm not gonna avoid books just because my favorite may not be there.[/QUOTE]

Please don't call her that. It's Mum, not mahmah.
I have my favourites...but, I'm here for the X-Men under talented, good writers and artists who want to tell new, interesting stories.
I'm not much of a solo fan, but will pick up if I think the writer and artist are good...regardless of the character lead.
Absolutely here for my faves; I haven't been an X-Book completionist since the 90's. But "faves" may be characters, writers, (rarely) artists, or what I feel like are the stronger themes from the franchise.
Cyclops. A Cyclops solo, a good one, is what I most want from Marvel. I would still read a x-men story that is totally unrelated to Cyclops, I just never did.
I was never a fan of team books, probably why I tend more toward DC comics lately, even the Justice League only interest me if Superman is in it.
I mostly read for my favorites. But if I get interested in something I’ll check it out even if my faves don’t show up. I do a lot of backtracking for stories that seem interesting or were recommended though.
But in the poll, I’m here for my favorites.

Says the crazy person.
Just here for the X-Men pretty much. I guess I like Nightcrawler and Logan the most, and I'm not as fond of Jean and Xavier, but I would never not read an X-Men book because the characters I listed aren't/are in it. I just love the idea of the X-Men and at the end of the day I don't really care who is part of the roster or not.
I read for the team and the concept. Most of my favorites have had little to no role for YEARS at this point but the concept of the X-Men keeps me coming around.
I am here for the franchise, Much like Star Trek they are groups and concepts I have like more or less but the core concept is what keeps me around.

My opinion is objectively true and anything else is absolute lunacy.
I’ve certainly read plenty of x-books that didn’t have any of my favorites on it. [I]Uncanny X-Force[/I] is a top tier x-book for me, and I don’t think I could earnestly day that anybody on the team was a personal favorite of mine. It was just a good book. And if my favorites were in a book that was bad, I can’t promise I’d keep reading it.
I absolutely cannot wrap my head around the people that feel compelled to keep buying a book they no longer enjoy.
Only here for my faves. I don’t usually buy a book if they aren’t prominently featured. Double edge to having your favorite characters being primarily team book vs going solo with 100% focus on them.
I'm here for the franchise, but I follow Logan off campus where ever he goes. If forced to choose though I would pick Wolverine over the rest of them all.
