    Yeah. I can never picture 'quitting'. How would I quit? All the good stories ARE still there.

    I’ve quit the line twice. Once in the mid 90’s through the beginning of Morrison’s run and then cold turkey post-Whedon through AvX.

    I’ll always be a fan but when things become creatively stagnant I take a break.

    I’ve read the X-men since the early 90’s when I was around 10 or 11 years old. I have quit them a few times over the years but like a Phoenix I keep coming. Even when I’m not reading or buying I would keep up with them online.

    I’ve been on the various x-men message boards since I was a teenager and I’m 37 now. Yikes!

    I suppose since my brother bought the issue where Storm, Wolverine,… were introduced. It's the oldest I remember. I have always been a fan of good comics well-written with a lot of drama.

    I have stopped reading when my brother stopped buying in the middle of the first encounter between Proteus and the X-men. During a long time, I haven't known how it ended. Well, I supposed…

    I re-started reading when my brother bought "A Sword is drawn" I stopped reading again when he stopped buying.

    I re-started reading X-men comics with the movies "First Class" and "Days of Future Past": it revived my interest. No longer my brother was involved.

    No, I don't think so. It's the characteristic of passions to be fleeting things. I cannot stop loving but for a fire to be alight, it needs fuel. The direction of X-men comics is not the one I like. The most important things in life are not complicated to understand, they are just complicated to live. I like my authors with a big heart and a great experience of life: I have something to learn from them.
    What keeps me there? Sometimes I read something that interests me…

    Started Reading in 1990 collected almost all the x titles up to the destruction of the titles by Disney during the Fox Disney fights. I still followed what happened Just didn't buy during the horrible period they were trying to promote the Inhumans (who i hate across the board). Started buying again once the merger was announced and everyone was coming back to life

    I will collect and or follow till I die

    Thinking about backing out now. I hate this segregationist bullshit the mutants are espousing, and as a proud Cyclops mark of 33 years, his creepy characterization was upsetting to me. I can deal with Scott the authoritarian, Scott the terrorist, and Scott the philandering husband, but I gotta draw the line at Scott the creepy cultist.

    If it makes you feel better, all the signs are there that Charles is just mind controlling all of the X-Men outside of Magneto. So I'd at least wait to see how HoX/PoX wrap up.

    I started reading buying UXM in 1982.
    I quit buying/reading cold turkey when Fraction started his run...UXM 500...2008
    I came back with Woods' (all-female) X-Men...but was very discerning with what I was buying X-wise from then 'til now.

    I replied earlier from my phone while I was at work. I wanted to expand some. The first time I quit the X-men was sometime in the mid 90's. I came back right in time for Kitty, Colossus, and Nightcrawler to rejoin the team (was that around 1998 or so?). The next time I quit for awhile was right before the Avengers vs X-men Phoenix five stuff. I got tired of waiting for Jean Grey to return and after Morrison and Whedon I just was not enjoying the X-men.

    I came back during the middle of the 05 being brought back. I had heard about Teen Jean and when I finally read her stories I felt she was the real Jean and not an alternate reality character. I then collected the trades and started collecting with the teen Jean solo and the Iceman solo. I've been back ever since and I am loving HOX/POX so far.
