  1. You know, until recently I would have agreed with this assessment — why the big deal about the same thing happening to the mansion that happens every month?  But having read some interviews lately (particularly with Matt Fraction), I now think that Marvel really does have a paradigm shift in mind for this book.  The X-men aren’t going back to Xavier’s this time, and they’re not rebuilding because the old model wasn’t working.  All of the X-men as a group gathering in the same place haven’t been anything but a big target.  They’re going to try something else.  The problem is that this isn’t on the page yet — Uncanny has hinted Cyke is up to something, but that’s all we know.  I think by the end of the summer we’ll have a much better idea what the new regime is like, and some of this stuff will make more sense. 

  2. well that’s good to hear!  When I heard Bru and Fraction were on board I had faith this was going somewhere.  There is definately a sense that big change is coming and that’s a great point, they do have a huge X (pardon the pun) painted on the Institute I just wish they’d let us in on it already!

  3. @Kimbo  —  Yeah, it is encouraging.  I think some of the people working on this line now have good, big ideas.  That doesn’t mean they’ll actually be well-executed — the risk is that they’ll just end up looking like any other superhero team — but I do have optimism that it will at least get somewhere.
