I know the 80's/90's runs of x-men are always recommended (Claremont, Windsor Smith, Byrne, Miller), and those that I have read of that era I have liked, but have there been any within the last ten years or so that are liked or that you recommend?
The last ten years are when I stopped reading x-men. I had read new x-men(liked) and astonishing x-men(liked) and read some of ultimate x-men(hated), but kind of dropped off after that.
Grand Design looks cool, but really seems more like a retrospective and highlights and not a new story.
It's funny how every time I go to the book store I see claremont's stuff there but new trades are always hit or miss. I guess it's like how The Beatles are always top selling artists.
