Which Cancelled X-Book Do You Miss the Most?

[Lady Warp Spasm]

Maverick's series...which was so long ago I forgot who the creative team was.

[Sprite]

District X
Exiles
Generation X
Generation Hope
X-23

Miss every last one of these.

[General Nerditry]

Oh, gosh, I don't see anything good coming from this conversation, but here we go.

-Exiles (original by Judd Winick). That book was never quite the same during Winick's last arc/after he left, but I loved what it was
-New X-Men (Morrison's) - easily the most excited I had ever been about the X books despite it's no small share of flaws
-X-Men by Mike Carey although it got a little lost toward the end

[Geralt of Rivia]

Mutant X by Mackie.

Agreed, I have such fond memories of that book

EDIT:

-Age of Apocalypse (ongoing). It was unique within the X titles, and the writer had big plans for the 2nd year.

Close second, Lapham's writing fit perfectly on that book

... yeah I have a thing for alternate timelines, so sue me :P

[ExcelsiorPrime]

X-men Forever and New Mutants forever.

[grinningdemon]

Wow, I'm surprised there are a few requesting a return of X-Men Forever...to me, that was the WORST x-book ever to see print. All the horrible mischaracterization in that book kept making me do a double take because I couldn't believe Claremont wrote it...it certainly wasn't what he would have done on the main books if he'd stayed back in the day (which was the premise of the series).

Anyway, here are my picks.

New X-Men (the kids, not Morrison's...preferrably written by Kyle/Yost)
X-Men First Class (though it might be better to hold off on this one until Bendis is done messing up the O5).
Excalibur (it would be awesome if they could get Warren Ellis to take another crack at the characters)
Age of Apocalypse (I didn't care for the last ongoing but I still see a lot of potential there)
Exiles (any version but Claremont's)
X-Men Unlimited (I love a good giant-size, quarterly, anthology title and it's the perfect place to spotlight characters that aren't currently appearing anywhere or those that are getting lost in the shuffle with such large casts).

[General Nerditry]

Also PAD's X-Factor, the most recent incarnation before this one.

[Pharozonk]

X-Men: First Class

[Shiver]

The last Gambit comic. It was a nice ending but still there was so much more the comic had to offer, such a fun read.

[anthony_lynch15]

New X-Men
Exiles (before Claremont)
X-Treme X-Men
X-Treme X-Men: The Xavier Killers
Generation Hope

[Sutekh]

X-Men 2099, first and foremost. Xian Chi Xan, La Lunatica, Meanstreak, Krystalin, Bloodhawk, Metalhead, all *awesome* characters. They fought an artificially created clone of Thor in a version of Asgard that was floating over the US long before it was cool! They ran up against Doom, in the future! They had foes like the Theater of Pain and Halloween Jack and Master Zhao and his Chosen!

Other favorites that are gone, but fondly remembered;
Exiles (original run)
PAD's recently ended X-Factor run
New Mutants (original run)
New X-Men (Kyle/Yost)
Excalibur (original run with awesome Alan Davis art)
Alpha Flight, if that even counts (Byrne run)

[Orion]

The one I miss the most is Mike Carey's "X-Men". We only got two trades of it - Supernovas and Blinded by the Light - before it changed into Legacy and became a different book. I thought he did so well with a x-team paradigm, throwing a bunch of great and diverse characters together. Cable was great pre-Hope and him and Rogue sharing leadership was really interesting.

[TheOnslaught]

My top 5 in no order

Captain Britain & MI13
Mutant X
Bishop: The Last X-man (A guilty pleasure of mine)
X-men: The Hidden Years
Exlies

[CGAR]

Claremonts Xtreme Xmen
Kyost New Xmen

[General Nerditry]

Wow, I'm surprised there are a few requesting a return of X-Men Forever... I couldn't believe Claremont wrote it...it certainly wasn't what he would have done on the main books if he'd stayed back in the day (which was the premise of the series).

You know, while I did enjoy X-Men Forever for what it was, this is what I really had hoped it was. I also seem to recall the original pitch being "what if Claremont had kept on going" which was intriguing because of all the leaked information about some of his abandoned plots. Some of them sounded quite good, others not so much, but that would have been far more interesting to me than what materialized.

Also, it's nice to see so many people listing classic Exiles. That was one of my favorite books ever published before it went off the rails. That and Morrison's New X-Men played a large part into getting me back into comics after a long hiatus, and I found that to be one of the most exciting and interesting times in the X line. Certainly better than the last 10 years IMO.
