I actually didn't like X-teme X-Men that much, the Invasion arc was okay, I felt Claremont didn't have the same magic he once had brought to the title

I agree. I didn't like the artwork or the costumes, either, though. It seemed like a very vapid series. I was reading "New X-Men" during it's run, so I never really felt the need to get invested in it. Did they ever find Destiny's diaries? Why did they want to hide them in the first place? Did Mystique know anything about them?

@AgeofHurricane: Wow, thanks for explaining that, wasn't fully aware of how they interacted.

@RoboShark: For a while I held back from reading it for the same reason, but it ended up being pretty readable. Mind you, for the entirety of the run it was pretty much dripping with all that early 2000s EXTREMEness, and it was really very cheesy, but it was written by Chris Claremont, of course it's cheesy. Still worth a look, especially if one has read the events that link this title to Uncanny and Without-adjective.

This had some good characters which have never cropped up again elias bogon and thunderbird to name 2

I agree. I thought the arena was neat and is the reason I am reading X-treme X-men. It reminded me of Storm getting throw into a Rihanna's S&M version of a Colosseum tournament (The kinky outfits, bright colors, different hairstyles, masque being transgendered.) LOL I found it pretty cool. But a LOT of people don't like the story as a whole. );
X-treme X-men as a whole is kind of slow yet there stories have a decent amount of substance and are interesting. (After reading x-treme x-men I know why Striker and Deathstrike where partners in X2)
Too each his own I guess.

I appreciated the bizarre outfits because Storm has been wearing off the wall sh*t for many of her years as an active X-Man.............It made me happy to see her go back to basics.

Yeah, the title was a lot more important than most would think. It was the events in X-Treme X-Men that occured in it's first 2 issues that lead to Beast's evolution into the more feline form that we know today.

Funnily enough I just started buying up X-Treme X-Men stuff.

Couldn't even make it past the first issue. Forgot how painfully wordy that Claremont is.

So you like the extreme x-men issues so far?

Perhaps one of my first love affair with the X-Men and Comic Books in general...

So true!

Re-reading this starting from #1-17 in preparation for the return of this EPIIC series.

@AgeofHurricane: ...return?

Storm's solo ongoing series is X-treme X-Men. : )

@THUNDERBOLT30: Huh. Cool.

I think this was the best incarnation of the x-teams, and the best look for Storm. Larocca/Claremont = gold!

@Squares said:

@THUNDERBOLT30: Huh. Cool.

Reading this though, I think that Cyclop's street team...

Which could still be cool because I also like Dazzler.

its basically another wolverine book girls, Nothing to spaz over.

Basically :-/. Golden bone claws and all!

The only character I have any interest in is Dazzler, but not enough to buy it.

What about Cyclops' street team? Are you referring to the fact that Lifeguard is stated to be a member of it? Explain, please.

The new run of X-treme X-men is going to focus on Wolverine?

I was expecting for red-themed costumes.

I was expecting for Storm to be on x-treme x-men. : (

After Schism, Cyclops created a street team to be local heroes in SF (good public relations and all that). That team was Dazzler, Northstar, and a few others (I can't recall at the moment), but didn't have Lifeguard as a member (though that would be cool if they brought her back from comic limbo). From the link, it looks like Dazzler will be teaming up with an alternate universe Wolverine, nightcrawler and Emma Frost (kind of like the Exiles comic).

I know what Cyclops' street team is! Hell, I'm pretty sure I made that clear in the original post. There were many links and pictures on that page, I had no idea which of them you were referring to.

@THUNDERBOLT30: Well said.

I like alternate wolverine better than the original at the moment. There, I said it. XD

Edit: Also Adamantine trumps adamantium so far. lol

*sniff* This is such a f"£$%^& good series.
