    I will miss X-Men Red, and unfortunately, Uncanny so far seems inferior.

    Regarding Honey Badger, I was prepared to hate her but for some reason she is an absolute joy.

    Taylor was better than Gugg & Bunn, but felt like a midway point between marvel's bad push and not quite getting to where we used to be.

    Honey Badger is good in small doses. I enjoyed her moments with the Cuckoos, but at times she felt a bit too much like Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch.

    Honey badger would be a viable character if they sewed her mouth shut like they did to Deadpool in the first Wolverine movie.

    Thank God the X-Office cleaned house.

    That's the point ��, Deadpool wasn't irritating. Honey Badger is as annoying as Aarons Hellfire Brats

    Gabby is amazing and everyone who doesn't like her is bitter and evil.

    Speaking of Jeans vision that would solve everything

    Did he actually show or explain anything about it?

    Not a big fan of Taylor I think his run robbed Laura of much of her personality and made her more generic. I'm not able fan of scrappy either but I appreciate the passion Tom had for these characters.

    Those...would still be comics.

    Comics aren’t just pew pew, kiss the girl, and repeat.

    Gabby makes me like Laura and vice versa (and both make me like Daken more). As long as Laura is around I want the whole fam.

    Tom’s ‘Red’ run was good-ish, but was a little saccharine and I think came out the gate with too many characters.

    Thanks for the great story, Mr. Taylor. X-Men Red was Super-enjoyable, even if the monthly schedule slowed it down a bit too much. Its still the only X-book I was able to successfully recommend to a friend who doesnt read Marvel things. Put me in the "enjoyed Gabby" camp.

    Thanks for working to get Jean front and center right after her return and giving her a voice I found to be generally great. I had my problems with the pacing (and Gabby would have worked better for me in smaller doses), but when Red had its moments, they were MOMENTS. Hope Taylor all the best at the Spidey-office!

    I think if there was a failure of Taylor's run with Laura it's that he made things a bit TOO easy. She certainly deserved a break after the hell she'd been through the couple years leading up to ANW, but I think he swung things a little too far in the other direction.

    IE, her actions in Immune could have been even more profound if he actually took the time to play up just how much of a toll it would take on her: Laura was established to be strongly averse to physical contact, which is a common reaction among abuse survivors. That curing the virus REQUIRED her to allow thousands of complete strangers to touch her ought to have been TREMENDOUSLY emotionally draining. Or giving her such an easy out over the Daylesville massacre in EotSII (even if he kept it as Bellona being the killer there could have still been a more serious lasting effect on Laura over the killings).

    Haven't been feeling X-Men: Red to be honest but Taylor's ANW was one of the better traditional superhero comics I've read in years. I've been missing it, haven't gotten to the new X-23 series, but I'd rather have Taylor continue his run. Granted 30+ issues is a fairly satisfactory run, and it concluded nicely.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    Liked Taylor's All-New Wolverine and X-Men: Red (only read the first trade so far, though). Sorry to see it all end.
