Yeah, it's after both. House of M happens, then Civil War - the X-Men stayed out of Civil War due to their Decimation. Then the new New Warriors formed of depowered mutants appeared after Civil War, the previous team from vol 3 having been destroyed in Civil War's first issue.

Mutants are a minority metaphor. And no one chooses to be a minority.
Civil War, boiled down to its basics, is about choice.
Thus, the characters and basic story concept went against one another. The narrative kept falling onto Bandit, because he was the only one with a horse in the race, so to speak.
So what's happening with regards to this:

Is that cancelled indefinitely? I wanted to see what they did with it.
I really liked some of the new guard, like Sun Girl and Haechi, and of course am fond of original New Warriors like Justice and Speedball (and, eventually, Silhouette). But the threat itself, the whole High Evolutionary/Eternals thing, seemed a little too big and ended up not getting resolved, just kicked down the road and then forgotten, and now, with the Eternals reboot, kind of abandoned forever, I think. Ditto the Chthon subplot, or anything to do with Hummingbird's eventual fate, or the Water Snake/Namorita mystery. Seeds sown, and then the field was abandoned. That frustrates me a bit (although I do appreciate how the writers picked up on Scarlet Spider's abandoned arc and sort of closed it off, rather than just ignoring it and doing whatever they wanted with the character). Sadly no one seems to have proven willing to extend the same writerly courtesy to them and pick up anything they put down...
I really enjoyed that series a lot. Its my favourite run after the original series.
As others have already mentioned there are a number of plot threads that never get a chance to be resolved, which is disappointing--but doesn't change the fact that it was a strong run. For me it had the best mix of classic Warriors and interesting new additions, and the classic members who were included acted and sounded like themselves, which was not always the case in volumes 2-4.
