All the books are pretty consistent with the exception of New Mutants and Excalibur. New Mutants faltered when Brisson took over completely. Excalibur has been bad since issue one. If I didn’t like the characters in the line up, I’d give it up. I keep waiting for it to get better, but that’s not happening. Besides that, I’m enjoying what he’s brought. Something new and different and interesting
Honestly I've been bored by Dawn of X for a while now. Not that it's bad, just average.
It's better than what came before, but that's not saying much.
Lost momentum due to the virus situation and then we came back to crap.
"Cable was right!"
When he's hot, he's great, but clever intellectualism will only get you so far with the X-Men. The fanbase is really looking for characters, relationships, action, and adventure, probably more so than clever ideas(they are appreciated, but secondary). I honestly think he's spread himself too thin. Especially since Marvel expanded the line so much, and ALL these other writers are weaving within and around his main plot points(with wildly uneven execution).
I think two titles just for him, over a couple years, would produce his best Xrun. The way things are going now, there's no way this is going to be as good as his Fantastic Four stuff. Let's just hope he lands this thing better than the mess that was Avengers/Secret War. He's already done much better with the mutants than that run, but I do think it's getting a bit bloated and uneven. It's like he's dropping all these elements into play for his master plan, but he's forgotten it should be about the journey, not just getting to the destination.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
It can’t compare with Chris Claremont’s initial run because the talent isn’t comparable. The emphasis has been put on worldbuilding but some authors are able to be both great in worldbuilding and character relationships. In actions and emotions.
The density isn’t there too. The way to tell stories is quite different now with less panels per page. A quality has been lost. A sense of rythm that belonged even to B-comics… Even when I was mildly interested by reading a comic in the past, it was at least entertaining.
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Claremont had pretty terrible arcs, like everyone. And a lot of his worldbuilding was things like Nova Roma or just plagiarizing what was in fashion, like Aliens or Teen Titans.
I don’t think anything has reached the heights of HoX/PoX yet but XoS (so many acronyms!) has gotten close, at least for me. I think X-Men stumbled the first 3 issues but since then has been very good. Wolverine and X-Force have been consistently good to great and all the other titles are decent at worst. The only title I thought was actually bad was Fallen Angels and even then I think the writer gave up because he got a gig writing for tv.
