    So X-MEN VOLUME 4 #1 is set to come out this July.  "Mutants Versus Vampires" is the title of the arc and I am wondering if Marvel is trying to cash in on this (dwendeling?) cash-cow that is vampire tales.  The August solicits have revealed that BLADE is going to be teaming up with the X-Men to, I guess, battle vampires.  What do you loyalists think of this direction with the X-Men? 
     
    Didn't the X-teams just deal with SELENE, the psychic vampire?  I know it's not the same thing really, but still, I'm not sure if that is a good way to kick-off the apparent fourth volume.  I'd figure if you were going to start another X-Men on-going, you would want to maybe have it be along the lines of fallout from Second Coming, not a war with vamps.

    Maybe this just means they're gonna start fighting classic enemies. They've fought Dracula a couple times in the past

    The X-Men are running out of the older enemies, I am assuming that most of the human council will die by the end of Secdond Coming. I am not a fan of this but maybe they can make it work, if not, the volume will fail and we can pretend it didn't happen

    Yeah I smell a possible on-going that suddenly turns into a mini-series, like S.W.O.R.D., but it's got to be better than that.  That series was a dissapointment.

    there is no  more enemies 2 fight due to m-day and or killing and maiming , if anyone hasnt read any of wolverines origin book that accounts to like 5 x-villians dead
    the  brotherhood is either dead ,reformed, or just gone, magneto is good... again . there isnt anything the current x-men cant really do unless they just show em playing poker or doing that video journal
    thing they did during one of the second coming books ,i gave up on the x-men lol sad but true , with shadowland coming out in july , and the current x-force im good .

    I could be an exscuse to find a way to bring Blade back in the comics. He and Gambit had history. So did he and Wolverine.

    True, But if they ever think of Going along with a more Twilightier version of  their Vampires, All Humanity will lose all reason.

    I was surprised when I heard about it. Vampires Vs the X-men...It might turn out to be a good read.

    It does sound good I like the dark tone X Men has been doing for a while. Hopefully Jubilee doesn't get killed off because she becomes a vampire.

    Possibly. I'll save my judgement until I actually read it.

    I'm trying to give this the benefit of the doubt too - at least the X-Men won't be whining about being downtrodden mutants for a while!
