Something in X-Force was messy or missing something for me. I still don't know what was going on or who was who. I don't know who Cucoo is, but I know who she is in that book compared to anyone in X-Force, outside of Forge. ;) That said, I know I'll take X-force in the long run over NYX. This was just issue 1. I'm game for all of them for the time being. I'm going to try to do 3 for each of them, unless I get overwhelmed.

@@geekyolhog haha! Absolutely! I do think that's also one of the best things about X-Men. If you're going to have a massive amount of books, they should be different and work for different reasons to different people. That's the big draw to X-men. They're weird and we all identify with different characters, eras and teams for a wide variety of reasons. I hated Wolverine back in the day. I didn't read his stuff because that's all anyone wanted. Now, even with 20 Wolverine books out, there's enough of everything else for everyone else!
