X-Men Run vs Run: New X-Men (Morrison) vs Uncanny X-Men (Bendis)

grant morrison becuase its not slow paced. Plus its the last time we get to see jean grey alive and get out of cyclops' shadow in Here Comes Tomorrow

@hopesummersforthefuture: I think Morrison did a pretty dam good job on Jean.....up until he killed her.

:( i actually voted for Morrison by accident...

:(

:)

Oh my god this isn't even a question. Morrison's run. Hands down. Whilst I do love Bendis, his X-Men run absolutely sucks compared to the greatness of Morrison's New X-Men.

@koays: Dammit Why?!!!! LOL. You dont make this easy at all!!!

To me this is a battle of the classic rock and hard place. Im not too much of a fan of either writer. I know some people swear by Morrison but Im not that impressed. I think things get stale and when somebody comes in with the big "change" word people get all excited. Hell, Obama used that as a slogan and when you think back not many people knew what the hell they were voting for, just "change". Just because a writer comes in to change the status quo doesn't mean its always for the best.

Morrison had a bit of a faster pace and introduced some decent things in particular imo Emma Frost more so as an Xman. That he expanded the school a little was interesting as well. Though with him and even with the subsequent writers of New Xmen with the squad system you have to wonder if introducing so many new characters at once has not served to water down the product with all the redundant power sets and all? The trickle down effect may have put us in the current state of so many characters being in limbo now as it is and the feeling of overcrowding when it comes to the Xmen. Aside from some of the good that Morrison did, I have to bring up or at least mention killing Jean Grey. That was bad. The creation of Fantomex and The World was horrible and still something that plagues the x-books to this day. And the Xorneto thing as well as Cassandra Nova the dead twin sister of Xavier-astral-parasite-edge-of-shiar-space -alien-entity or whatever the hell she is, was all bad.I we cant seem to get rid of the silliness that is Quentin Quire.

Ive outlined my thoughts on Bendis so much its getting tiring. The guy is more concerned with trolling the fans and putting his little stamp on things more so than good and sensible storytelling. The pacing is horrible and his little creations are a joke imo.

If I must choose between the two i will go with at least who will tell a story before I actually die of old age. I'll vote Morrison. But they are eerily similar and both overrated in my opinion. Morrison's the lesser of two evils but only by a little bit.

Lol in my defense with this one... i picked these two because it just wasn't fair to put anybody against Aaron.

But yea i pretty much agree with everything you say here. though i just couldn't bring myself to give Morrison the credit, I mean Bendis' hasn't screwed up Uncanny.....but that's mostly because he's barely done anything. And i think even the worst parts of his run just don't add up to this----------------------->

Still Morrison did more in 5 issues then Bendis did in 15 so there's that.

@koays: Lol. I agree especially about Aaron. Maybe you can put him against Austen but who knows. Morrison and Bendis are both bad but like you said Bendis hasnt messed up except with the Goldballs thing-ridiculous. But Bendis whole run could have been covered in a solicit. Waste of paper

lol

@hawk2916: Lol your probably right about Austen, you just won't convince me to read his run again to check.

Don't hate the Ball.

Hate the Game.

@night4345: LLMFAO!!!

Grant Morrison.
