Young X-Men - How the mutant population seems to grow when you start a new book!

Young X-Men... where to begin? I'd definitely say it's the best thing written by Guggenheim that I've read... is that saying much? Probably not. Also it was better than the last few issues of New X-Men (Before Messiah Complex) which were really crappy. The art is very good and if sales sink or the book gets enough support just because of the X-Men in the title, Marvel will probably pull him off the book and put some "up and comer" on it and pretty much make it unreadable.

I don't like Guggenheim writing "core" X-Character's like Cyclops and Wolverine. His Wolverine run sucked and was frankly just ridiculous, you should never have to rip-off your rip-off and no I'm not going to explain. Why after Messiah Complex does Cyclops have to be a shady mother fucker? Their making him worse then Professor X was and it wasn't until recently that they made PX a piece of shit. Even though I like what Brubaker is doing on Uncanny I still think that his PX is completly out of character. My original point is that Cyclops has not one, but two secret teams. There's X-Force (Not very good either, but again great art!) and now Young X's.

The first story line is already very lazy since it flashes between the past and the present narriated by Blindfold (Shitty name, shitty power!) and one of the youngin's is going to die... I hope it's Wolf Boy or whatever his dumb name is. Aside from fighting old X-Men villains which means that were once again going to be reading recycled story lines from a better writer, there's the fact that two of the members were in the process of killing someone when Cyclops showed up in the middle of the room offering, "Another way," but hey there's only 203 mutants to choose from, and with their rate of causality it'll be like 190 by the end of the year... wait how many died in Messiah? Like twelve? Well pretty soon Jubilee will have her own book again... huh? She's on the New Warriors team? Sigh... Marvel what are you doing some times...
