@RawrImADragon: That's probably a sound line of thought. I'd guess Hopeless' X-Force is probably missing out on a few potential readers who are like me -- refusing to buy anything he's on so long as Arena continues. I'm quite looking forward to Uncanny, though.
X-Men
Team » X-Men appears in 13404 issues.
The X-Men are a superhero team of mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
Which X-Men title do you think will be cancelled next?

I'm afraid that this also may be the case, which scares me. I'm in the minority and am actually quite enjoying how the book is focusing on Legion. I really don't know why it's getting a lot of hate other than the fact that it took the spotlight away from Rogue. The covers alone on the current Legacy run are some of the coolest I've seen in a while.

Agreed. Legion is a phenomenal character in my opinion although it did pinch a bit to have Rogue moved from Legacy to Uncanny Avengers.
X-Treme X-Men would have done better if they pulled in original characters. I did love seeing Dazzler in there and get the opportunity to showcase her powers but now that it's on it way out, I would love to see her added to either Fearless Defenders or the new X-Men title.
Cable's X-Force does nothing for me. Maybe that will be next.

I have a feeling that X-Men Legacy might go to if there's not enough interest for Legion.
Once X-Treme X-Men is done, I'm hoping that Daz joins Brian Wood's X-Men. That way we'd have the "Outback X-Girls" all in one book
As for who's next to go... I think it will be (in order for likelyhood):
1. X-Men Legacy (Although i am starting to get into it... i have a feeling whats happening in the book will eventually be very important to the rest of the X-titles)
2. Astonishing X-Men
Please don't let X-Men Legacy receive the axe. Removing Huat from interior duties is exactly the push the series needed, and it's been booming ever since, issues 4 and 5 were phenomenal, especially for Blindfold, who had her origin explored to an extent in the latest issue (probably why i enjoyed that issue so much, tbh), and I'm also enjoying the romance (?) that's apparently brewing between the protagonist of the story (Legion) and its personal antagonist (supposedly Blindfold). There're also nice appearances from other X-Folk, for some reason, this actually feels like an X-Book.
Oh, and there's also this:
This should happen to Wolverine in all of his appearances.

Yes thank you for also shedding light on how worthwhile this book is. It definitely took a while to pick up the pace but these last couple of issues have been solid. Sadly Huat is coming back on to art soon... they really should find him a more permanent replacement. Molina's art is so good!
@Manbehindthewires: Ijust picked up Avengers Arena last night, it was a great read. Wish they had gotten some of the x-kids involved to raise the stakes a little.

Hopefully Astonishing. That book's a pile of crap.
That will leave us with...
- Uncanny X-Men Vol 3.
- Wolverine and The X-Men
- All-New X-Men
- X-Men Vol 4.
- X-Factor
- Cable and The X-Force
- Uncanny X-Force Vol 2.
- X-Men Legacy
Hey Hey Hey! Leave astonishing alone! It fills the hole that cancelling the old X-men legacy left: Very character driven with slower stories.
Id hate to say this, but Ive thought WATXM, adjectiveless Xmen and Xfactor have been slow for awhile now. I keep reading them hoping they pick up, but if they dont get some real action soon, im going to axe em.

Legacy was mostly just about Rogue, but at least it wasn't a focus on Northstar and Kyle. SNORE.
X-Factor is a lot more character driven and PAD is a much better character writer than Liu.
Of the new X-books, im most dissapointed with Cable and the X-Force so far...
With the likes of Forge and Nemesis on the team, i thought this book would be like Oceans 11 but with powers and guns.
Although Wood's "XX" X-Men has yet to launch, and the new Uncanny X-Force just debuting its 1st issue recently, I'm hoping that the two will serve entirely different purposes and stories. As it is we have both Storm and Psylocke in both teams. And UXF is almost entirely female as well. Hopefully, both these books will find their own niche and avoid cannibalizing themselves

I just picked up UXF today and am looking forward to "XX" as well. I think as it stands so long as X-Force stays true to its mature/gritty roots it will be plenty different enough to justify buying both. And frankly, I hope that's the case, because they're the only Marvel NOW titles I'm actually intending to follow.

I dont mind the Kyle and Northstar stuff, but agree sometimes them just repeating "I love you" to each other doesnt add to the story. I still need to catch up on the end of the Karma/Sister story, but the Warbird stroy was ok. The art was good and the story itself was pretty but lacked a little action.
I'm loving the all new x-men so I'm hoping that doesn't go anywhere any time soon. I'd say Legacy is probably the closest to the chopping block. Prior to release I was super pumped about the cable and x-force series, unfortunately the book simply hasn't lived up to my expectations.

These are definitely the ones I'm most excited about, too, now that I've read the first issue of the new X-force. Great set up, really liked this issue.

Astonishing has a committed following...although it's one of the one's I'm following and liking, I think it may well be Arena. Hoping All-New sticks around for a while!
Yeah, I saw the controversy around Avengers Arena, although that's pretty new, so it might stick around for awhile, unless the story lines really upsets the fans.
I like that it's upsetting fans. It's good to see Marvel growing some balls and getting permanent with some of their darlings; even if they're relatively new, un-rooted ones. It's actually really refreshing to read.
Exactly!! Fans demand far too much of the companies, as if they're the ones who own the franchises. I loved the superior spiderman video Dan Slott did, were they read hurtful letters then laughed at them. People actually got pissed but I just laughed. Fanboys are pathetic, it's great when companies shake things up and don't just let things remain stagment all because some people have been "reading every marvel book for thirty years" ¬_¬
