I just read Astonishing and Ultimate. Deadly Genisis was pretty good but that's over now.
 
Ultimate. Thats about it. I'm more into DC now...better writing and art IMO.
 
Wolverine
Wolverine: Origins
Astonishing X-Men
Uncanny X-Men
X-Men
 
Astonishing X-Men
X-Factor (seriously, people. READ THIS BOOK)
New X-Men (although I'm one disappointing issue away from dropping it)
 
Astonishing X-Men. And an issue of UXM here and there.
 
Astonishing X-men
X-factor

and I'll probably pick up Uncanny when Brubaker starts.
 
Astonishing, Ultimate, X-Men, Uncanny, New X-Men, X-Factor, New Excalibur

So...uhh, all of them I guess. Although if the Excalibur issue I picked up yesterday isn't at least decent I'm going to stop picking that one up.
 
Astonishing X-Men
Uncanny X-Men
Adjectivless X-Men
Ultimate X-Men
X-Factor
Wolverine
Wolverine: Origins
Ms. Marvel
New Avengers
Amazing Spiderman

I know its alot, but I enjoy reading most of them expecially Astonishing, X-Factor, Ultimate, Ms. Marvel, and the New Avengers.
 
ASTONISHING X-MEN
X-MEN
UNCANNY X-MEN
X-FACTOR

...not too many... (sadly only 2 out of those 4 books are worth it, hopefully the new creative teams make it better)

How is X-factor compared by Astonishing? I'm kinda thinking of buying the X-Factor HC...
 
Its really good. I think its far better than the first 12 issues of Astonishing, but the latest 2 have been really good.

X-Factor definitely has a different feel to it though than Astonishing. A great read though, with lots of humor and good characterization. I'd recommend picking it up personally.
 
X-Factor has a serial feel to it, but it's not too difficult to jump in at any point. I still haven't read the first issue. It's also got this great noir look. Definitely pick it up.

I forgot that I also read Ultimate X-Men, but I only read it in TPB form. I'm kinda caught in a spot with that. I started reading the trades when there were already 6 volumes out, and it's been impossible to catch up enough for me to start buying individual issues.
 
The X-Men's heyday was back in the 80's and 90's but now with my room not being able to accomodate for newer issues I just simply wait for any major story arcs to arrive on TPB to buy.

I don't consider X-Factor, X-Force or New X-Men as integral to the X-Men mythos.

I have most of the Ultimate X-Men run up to the fifties issues but that's also getting tiring.
 
X-Factor
New X-Men
Astonishing X-Men
X-Men (just started reading it)
Cable & Deadpool
Ms Marvel
 
X-Factor
Astonishing
X-Men (With Carey)
Uncanny (With Brubaker)
 
Astonishing Xmen
Adjectivless Xmen (although I honestly don't know WHY)
New Xmen (this book isn't bad as much as it is annoying for long time readers)
 
Uncanny
X-Men
Astonishing
Excalibur
New X-Men
X-Factor

Most every limited out there right now :d
 
Astonishing X-Men
Ultimate X-Men
New X-Men
X-Men (I'm really close to dropping this, if Carey doesn't immediately impress me, it's gone)
Uncanny X-Men (up until issue #475 when Brubaker takes over, then it's gone, Deadly Genesis was horrible and looks it looks like that story continues in Uncanny, not that the current writer is any better, this is just a convient point to drop off)
 
I read

Ultimate X-Men
Astonishing X-Men
and X-Factor
 
I just read Astonishing and Wolverine. I read the Apocalypse story that just ended and that was a waste of dough.

The X-men haven't been good since the 90's.
 
Which title would you most recomend? I'm thinking about trying to get into the X-books.
