Biggest losers of the post SW landscape (X-Men)

[donpricetag]

Seen a lot of mixed reviews of the new X-Books to follow the SW crossover event. We know who's going where just about. We know Magik and Colossus are, the Wolverine family is all over the place being represented in more than 3 X-Men books including two solos and just as many teams. Even the out of time teen X-Men have another book (though I see many thought or hoped they'd go home...). Even some of the X-Men most famous enemies are getting shine in the franchise flagship title, no less.

I guess being in a book doesn't necessarily mean its a great fit (art and writing wise) Finding a home in a book or lost in limbo, who are the X-Mens biggest losers of the new status quo to follow Marvel's "Biggest event ever"? Rogue, Bishop, Emma, Jubilee, Cyclops, Gambit, Magik, Beast, whoever. What's your view of who landed on top and who's no better off than they were before?

EDIT: Excuse the title. Should include "Winners" as well.

But we're not talking about them, well maybe not.

"Reviews"?

[donpricetag]

"Reviews"?

A review is an evaluation of a publication, service, or company such as a movie, video game, musical composition, book; a piece of hardware like a car, home appliance, or computer; or an event...etc.

Perhaps I should say "reactions", so as to not confuse...

Your original post indicates that there is subject matter enough to form an opinion.

I'm not confused on the meaning of "review".

[Omega Alpha]

The entire line loses as long as Marvel is more interested in propping a bastardized version of the Inhumans than to tell good stories.

[Master of Sound]

Sunspot gets better of, as he will be the leading a team of Avengers after SW.

[Grey]

I must admit I feel quite fortunate that my favorite character is in the flagship book.

Seems many popular characters are missing. However, this is also what some readers wanted- more focused books with smaller casts. Can't please everyone.

[Anthony Shaw]

I'd love to see Bishop in a well-written team book.

...nope didn't think you were confused by the meaning. I was hoping you wouldn't continue eluding that there isn't enough information out to make an assumption of have an opinion/reaction. On contrary, there is plenty of information, even some (even if a little) creator input and rosters. More than enough to know who's in and out, at least initially. Or perhaps you were just being picky about my word usage. But continue... It's mostly a free world.

All masterpieces.

Well the line "We know who's going where just about." (underline mine) doesn't instill any confidence in me that anything someone would write up would be anywhere near accurate.

Interviews are mostly hype fluff (see: Bendis). Covers can be misleading, if not outright mis-representative of the contents inside. And solicits are hardly ever the whole story.

Sorry, just not much for me to go on right now.

[The Fury]

Even the out of time teen X-Men have another book (though I see many thought or hoped they'd go home...).

If there was a book with Nate Grey, Nate Summers, Rachel Summers and Bishop? Man I'd buy that book in an instant. They are the out of time X-men, the kids are just not wanted by me.

EDIT: throw is some Archer and Fixx and all is good.

Well the only books from Marvel that I read are X-books, and yea I'm not really excited about any of the books announced so far, but I still think better things are coming down the line. Because I don't know what Marvel's plan are, I'm just going to happily imagine that maybe they're going to put a book together with the missing cast. Cyclops, Emma, Beast, maybe Ruby, Gambit and who knows.
