I agree with this and would also apply this principle to the content of the stories. The stories should be more character-driven in addition to being quasi-political. The stories should reflect the fight to prove mutant's humanity. I dislike the extinction theme (as I mentioned earlier), but even the "try not to die" mantra works best if you are made to care deeply about the characters (see Runaways).
