1.Fallen Angels/Marauders/X-Force
2.New Mutants
3.X-Men
4.Excalibur
Fallen Angels/Marauders/X-Force all are good.The scripts for Fallen Angels are very strong, but the art needs to be strengthened.
X-Men didn't live up to my expectations, but I also know that Hickman is slowly laying the groundwork for future X-Men stories to move into more exciting places.
Yu's art is very sloppy.I suspect Marvel is behind on his wages.
Excalibur doesn't end up being bad quality. In fact, I think it's above the pass mark. It is only slightly less prominent in DOX publications.I think the story of this book should be a little more fluid. The writer have worked hard on it, but it still needs to be improved.

Can’t agree with your thoughts on Fallen Angels. I honestly felt that Fallen Angels had arguably the best artwork for DOX so far.
X-men currently probably has the worst. Yu’s artwork is taking the energy and life out of a title that’s already struggling to
hold my interest.

Part of this is a bias of characters though because some of these teams are stacked with my favourite characters.
Based on Story so far, I rate as follows:
1. Marauders
2. Excalibur
3. X-Force
4. New Mutants
5. X-Men
6. Fallen Angels
Based on Art, this is where I feel the art lies:
1. X-Force
2. Fallen Angels
3. Marauders
4. Excalibur and New Mutants
5. X-Men (I really don't like Yu's art)
My top four on art are actually pretty close together. X-Force stands out for having an art theme that separates it from all the other books, Fallen Angels was actually beautiful, and Marauders, Excalibur, and New Mutants were all pretty great to me.
I am still buying all 6 books, I haven't decided to drop any yet.

I’m pretty much in agreement but FA last? Nooooooooo way... It has to at least inch past X-men lol. I do think I will enjoy X-men a touch more when Yu leaves. He’s not the artist for that book.

They sucked me into X-Men because of Rachel, <sigh> I got tricked of course because Rachel has little to know character development and is just generic "daughter" and generic "sister" in the book!
-
They have all been amazing.
1-X Men
2-Marauders
3-X Force
4-New Mutants
5-Excalibur

They are all Good. But I’m terms of rank(IMO) is day:
Marauders
X-Force
X-Men
Excalibur
New Mutants
Fallen Angels

I love Fallen Angel, but I also think its storyboard looks a little strange.This is a small shortcoming. When the story itself is excellent, the deficiency in art is more obvious.
As for Yu, I suspect him of doing the work with Hickman holding a gun to his head...

I got sucked into X-men because i thought Hickman could continue with the momentum built up from POXHOX. So far that hasn’t been the case. This family dynamic between the Summers gang is painful to read at the moment.
-
Excalibur, X-Force and X-Men were all solid imo. I'll be keeping those on my pull. Can't decide which one of them was best, but I'm maybe leaning towards X-Force at this point.
Also read 1st issues of Marauders / New Mutants / Fallen Angels but see no reason to keep them.
-
Everybody loves Marauders, I just dont understand why. Only the Bishop pages intrigued me.
My favourite was definitely Excalibur, i think i read it about 9 times, it was a lot of fun.

If I were a betting person, looks like Fallen Angels could become the first casualty. If any other, Excalibur might not be long for this world, either.
