I keep trying...
What are there now, like fifteen different X-Men monthly titles? Every time I consider picking up an X-title, I feel like my mom did when I was younger and she would buy a candy bar. She knew there was one that she liked, but picked one of the myriad wrong ones more often than the right one because she just couldn't remember which it was.
So, was it X-Men or Uncanny or New or Astonishing? Some of them I absolutely can't stand, but there's one I like - well, two, if you count Ultimate, but I'm clear on which series that one is.
I'm thinking it's not X-Men itself, as this story was okay but far from fantastic. The premise and set-up were pretty good, with the team taking on a giant, semi-sentient creature with psychic powers that simply stirred up violence in the world around it and then fed off of the anger and chaos.
And then the heroes went into space and started just blasting at things. In the climactic battle, little was shown of what was going on, and we were instead treated to the heroes talking to each other while we almost caught glimpses of the fighting that was going on around them.
Maybe it's Uncanny...anybody else remember?
