I enjoy the tie-ins, but the main story has gotten soooo far ahead of them now that they hardly even matter anymore. Who cares about the Sinister storyline or the Rogue storyline or the escape storyline. All of the topics are null becuase we now know where things will end up. The timing should have been better.

....and Cap shedding a single tear for Prof X.... Yes, Xavier, you did teach Scott better than this. Unfortunately the new crop of writers have decided that instead of a great leader that has suffered terrible losses but always follows the path of his mentor regardless of the hurt it brings him- he's 'Cyclops the dick'. Everything about Scott from Utopia onward has been complete rubbish and this is just the final nail in undeserved coffin :(

The forced panels to me in AvX #10 was when Hope ran into IM, Wanda, and Beast. Then, Wanda gives the cheesy "you are not alone" line. I rolled my eyes on that one. I do not even know what title Ed Brubaker writes...

I wish there was some suspense as to who will win the Emma/Scott fight, but Marvel already spoiled that with the Marvel NOW! promo pics.

Fear Itself was terrible. AvX is terrible x10000. Forced is the perfect description. there was no need for this OR Fear itself, the only reason this is happening now is so marvel can capitalize on the Avengers movie- which they could have done with just some kick ass Avengers stories and not another greed motivated mega-event. The only thing I really hope to see come to and end with AvX is the god-awful Utopia storyline. sink the f'n island already and move on to being superheroes again

I think X-Men Legacy is what really made me start getting ticked off at the Mutants though, since they seemed to be almost actively trying to aggravate and provoke the Avengers when they were keeping an eye on the school a few issues back. That and the whole "Oh man you hatin' on us 'cause we mutants. DAT'S RACIST" bit has gotten really really tiresome after a while.

That's about all the X-men have been about at least since Utopia. It used to be their schtick while fighting the bad mutants that 'yes- there are also good mutants' but rather then letting that be the 'back-burner' issue that sometimes pops up when they do a good deed and someone fires off "stinkin' muties" It's instead become ALL they are and the "hated and feared" defines them now more than the 'mutant superhero team' :( it was a cool idea that has been so overdone and mismanaged that it just needs to go away. i really wish Marvel One was a full on re-boot and not just another 'soft' re-set like the Heroic Age

UXF isn't any better since the line-up change a couple of issues ago. Capt Marvel #2 has issues trying to balance femanazi Carol with classic insecure Carol... though it was nice that after the b.s. letter printing in issue 1 of the love for the new costume, the dislike for it flowed into issue 2's letter page. Not that they'll do anything about it.

I've said it before, but I really, really think the Marvel Universe should just be rebooted, like DC. Clean everything up, get things back to how they should be (especially with character personalities!), and get rid of this crop of bad writers. Marvel has a chance with the success of the movies to do something really great, and they're not. Their playing coy and tip toeing around what they should really do. Just get back to what we know and love and forget about all of this b/s from the last twenty years.
Oh yeah.. I also threw my new cell phone in the water yesterday.. already bought a new one. Ugh, I'm buying one of those holders from it to keep on my belt, lol.
