Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."

We're just getting warmed up...

The X-Men books (and FF) in particular also suffered because of the whole mess between Disney and Fox...
I'm sure I could find one story here and there that was okay in between that period and now. But I was just answering your question according to how you framed it.
My point was not just about one story or arc, it's about the overall quality. Those comics I mentioned weren't even part of a period I particularly liked about the X-Men, but if you compare to what we have now, they're just better.
And it's not like they didn't use their gimmicks back then either. They did. All the time. But even considering those, what ended up actually in the pages of the comics had better quality control. Some stuff nowadays is just complete non-sense. I don't see how any editor could have read and approved those scripts.
Anyway, thanks for sharing Jean's stuff.
While these books/current era aren't working for you...for valid (to you) reasons...the books I'm reading are what I would call "good comics" or else I wouldn't be buying/reading/collecting them. (and if memory serves, some old comics were garbage as well...no era is without its dumpster fires)
I see no error with what JDW said regarding character placement. Out of the Destiny of X characters shown in the promo art only Iceman hasn't shown up in a book, so far. Everyone else is pretty much accounted for.

Probably her conversation with Hope about Cable? That or the last scene of X-men: Red, whatever came after date-of-release-wise.
My point is not about if there is an error or not in that image in particular. It's about the fact we can't trust them. This is the same X-Office who released Inferno.
