What I loved about Claremont's X-Men is that he really allowed the characters to grow up, ie Cyclops leaving to get married, Mohawk Storm and Kitty's friendship wavering, The Original 5 + 2 left (but came back for visits, and then The Dark Phoenix Saga happened).
What I really hope is that Cyclops (finally) steps down from leading Utopia, and instead someone like Cannonball steps up and leads them, and so that the New Mutants (1983 and 2006) can finally grow the hell up.
IMO, There should be only 6 X-Books, WaTX for the NEW generation of mutants + teachers, Uncanny X-Force, the strike team, X-Factor, the dysfunctional family, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men and X-Men Legacy for general heroics, UXM, X-Men and Legacy should have three DISTINCT teams where NO member overlaps, each heading in very different directions.
I still wonder how Peter David does a great job juggling 10+ members in X-Factor.
I'm indifferent about AoA, Ultimate because different universes are fine with me, I'm borderline with X-Treme
Cancel New Mutants (Integrate them into the main X-Men roster), Astonishing (Integrate Northstar and Karma into the main roster) and First X-Men will come to an end soon.
