Phil Jimenez went crazy hard for this comic

[jade raptor]

He absolutely did!

I adore this book & I wish they didn’t pull the nonsense they did with Xorn & just let Morrison cook

[austere quarry]

Doesn’t Grant claim that the Xorn twist was planned from the characters creation?

[icy spire]

They’ve gone back & forth. It was so dumb that I refuse to believe Morrison intended to do it that way

[jade raptor]

About Magneto? I loved the twist personally

Probably the storyline I liked the most

It just makes no sense. How is he a notable Chinese mutant who’s been in Chinese prison for decades & also a notable white Jewish mutant hero in North America that whole time?

I gotta disagree on the art as I think Frank Quitely's art is great despite its weirdness. Like you, I also liked the expanding of the school, and this run had a lot of important development, but I'm not sure why people keep calling it one of the best X-Men runs of all time. It's by no means bad, but doesn't really stand out imo

I also mostly liked the art
