Better than a lot that had the misfortune to read during the last years.
But in fact it is still nothing extraordinary just good. For now this is enough and is improving with each issue.
I think Gold is really good. At least when compared to the dumpster fire that the X-men titles have been since Fraction's run began. Compared to pre Fraction it's average at best.
The secret best Astonishing run was Marjorie Liu's. Especially once Walta came on art. It's actually one of the better unsung runs of the 2000s core X-Men imo, up there with Claremont X-Treme and Carey adjectiveless.
I wish all 3 could come back. Claremont Gold, Carey Blue and Liu Astonishing would be a dream.
Liu and Walta was a great team.
Voted yes for Gold because it is better then Extraordinary. But it is really mediocre.
Issue #7, I thought showed improvement but I'm not really enjoying it. I don't even feel as if there are any bad moments either- it's just boring. I read issue #5 and I didn't process anything that happened - in my opinion, that might be even worse than a comic with notable bad moments
However, it has nothing on Austen's Uncanny run, which has a special place in hell for being the worst.
I’ve just published my very first work on ‘Archive of Our Own’, under the same name as here. It is the first chapter of ‘I Am My Own Best Friend ~ An Emma Frost Road Trip’, which focuses on Emma between the events of IvX and Secret Empire, including the White Queen going on a road trip, to try and have fun!

I hope you enjoy it as much I did writing it!
all X comics are really bad and not good right now
I love the cast of X-men Gold but I am not sold on the stories. I feel like everyone has been dumbed down to make Kitty look good as leader. There are elements that I like of what I've read so far and I am continuing to buy the book to support it. Rachel is my favorite character of this line up and I look forward to seeing how she develops during this run. I kind of feel like Storm isn't being used properly and should would benefit from being in a non X-men book saving the world and stuff if she doesn't want to lead.
or like ANY of the unanswered questions.
Like Did Kitty finally pay the taxes for the school? Where did it come from? And why not just move the school to save money?
Did she stop payment on the security system and that's how there's a murdering human on the loose?
