I'm hoping the second story arc for this title turns out to be good, but if fans dislike the vampire story enough, this title might go the way of Young X-Men. It launched on the heels of a big Messiah crossover, sold really well for its first 3 or so issues, turned fans off with its crappy first storyline, and sales dropped so low that it couldn't make it past the 12th issue.

However, this is being launched as a core X-Men title. Fans might buy it on principle. There's no telling which way this will go, but something tells me this will be a very shaky new title.
