I will admit I picked up the first few issues of Uncanny inhumans and ANI because the creative teams looked good and the art looked stellar. I kept with ANI for a little while after the appearance of frenzy because she was awesome in x-men legacy and I was really looking forward to her making an appearance outside of an x-book. Unfortunately she disappeared and so I dropped the book.
I am an x-fan first, and I have been all my life. I grew to like the avengers (some of them anyway) and I just ignore AvX as something terrible in the marvel office water supply. I was never a big inhumans fan mostly because I knew nothing about them and they weren't really influential in any of the books I read. I cannot begin to like these characters when their big debut into the greater marvel universe comes as a direct result of my favorite characters current plight. The reason is sad but true; I see them on panel and I greatly dislike them. They are flourishing while my favorites are having to hide less they get some terrible degenerative disease that will eventually kill them and no one in the greater MCU seems to care as Rogue so aptly put in this weeks Uncanny Avengers issue.
Not a fan of the current killer winds of change and not excited about this event.

You are probably right. I simply know that my favorite character will miss this event .These Vs gimmicks are getting repetitive.
Or at least majority of this event. I learned that Rogue will miss almost every event so i don't feel pressure.
This does not apply only to X-mens.
Marvel has focused on the theme heroes vs heroes.
To tell the truth for a long time they can not create a good big or mega event involving only heroes vs villains and Secret Wars does not count since it was a meeting of several Marvel stories and had a lot of heroes vs heroes.
I think the last time actually liked a mega event with a villain was during the rise of Osborn with Dark Reign and Siege.
This is fundamentally not true. The Terrigen mists hurting mutants was editorially mandated. It came from higher up, that's why it impacted both books. The entire point of this was about promoting the inhumans so that they could take mutants spots as the go to species for development. That didn't work so well so now they are saddling the X-Men with inhumans so that fans are forced to read about characters they don't really care about.

Sorry, but you're wrong. And unless you can get Nick Lowe or another editor on here to confirm your claim I will continue to insist you're incorrect on this...
Marvel promoted The Inhumans simply because they wanted to create a new franchise. The success of Guardians of The Galaxy suggested that new properties could be profitable and they tried to recreate this success with Inhumans. That's pretty much all there is to it.
The engineering of a reason for The Inhumans to fight The X-Men came later on, and began in the X-books... the first mention of the T-Cloud being deleterious to Mutants occurred in Extraordinary X-Men #1.
Cross over and cross pollination through event books has been Marvel's bread and butter for years, beginning with the original Secret War miniseries.
If you don't like it, don't read it, but this complex that Marvel is trying to kill the X-Men and force you to read about the inhumans is tired and hackneyed.
It started off interesting, then became annoying, and now is just boring.
And what im saying is that the idea comes from the editorial or from Perlmutter.
And i would like to point out two things:
The first one if you dont remember, "No More Mutants" was an idea that started with Quesada, the then-editor-in-chief, who put Bendis in charge of the project and "House of M" is the result of that.
And the second is that Alonso's favorite character is Adolf Scott Hitler Summers aka Cyclops, so excuse me for not believing that DisMarvel still loves and cares about the X-men.
Like i said, the "M-day" genocide was then Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada's idea, who gave the job to Bendis, and we end up with this:
And if it could happen once, it can happen twice.
After all, Lemire was basically blackmailed into writing a X-men team book after Rememder left Marvel; and Extraordinary is the result of said blackmail.
oy vey...
I never meant to insinuate that the M-Pox was Lemire's idea. Merely that the idea did not originate in the pages of an Inhumans book. It's cool to be upset about it, that's fine... but writers such as Chalres Soule, James Asmus, G. Willow Wilson, Amy Reeder and Brendan Montclare, Warren Ellis and Geoffrey Thorne do not deserve to be the focus of this animosity.
