However, I've read every issue, and I've really enjoyed the entire series. Yes, there've been issues, but there are with every series, nobody's perfect, but a great deal has been made of characters I would never have thought of as having too much potential, how wrong I was.
I'd really like to see Eye Boy and Prodigy having more time together, their friendship is really coming along nicely. It's good to see characters genuinely care about each other but not necessarily in a sexual way. The relationships between Northstar, Aurora and Daken also would bear further exploration and looked to be a real nice slow burn character driven story waiting to happen.
I think those five characters should form the basis of some kind of ongoing new series after the trial of Magneto is finished, just so she can start to tie up some of the relationship loose ends. I know there are those who haven't enjoyed her writing, and I can understand where some of the criticism has come from, but for me the good has far outweighed the bad in this series and I really hope there's a continuation in some sense.
I'm happy with Polaris in X-Men, major chance for a much maligned and under used top character to shine. Rachel can go almost anywhere, she has amazing ties all over, but replacing Jean on X-Force could be fun, having her as a mentor to Quentin.
Then we'd be needing a couple of big stars to flesh out Leah's new ongoing title (I hope). Someone to create a bit of leadership friction with Northstar and someone with awesome power somewhat akin to Polaris. I'd trust her to come up with the full cast because she proved me completely wrong with X-Factor.
