Saw this today on my Facebook news feed... sad news (for me, at least). The very first series of X-Men comics, Uncanny X-Men (formerly titled as "X-Men") is coming to an end in October. Uncanny X-Men: The End | X-Men | Comic News | News | Marvel.com
I haven't bought comics in ages, but this is part of my childhood/nerdy-early-teen years! I love the X-Men so much, they're my heroes. This makes me so sad :,(
Me, too. Also, I should probably clarify. This is the ORIGINAL series that's ending. There are numerous other "spin-offs" that are still going on (Ultimate X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, X-Men Vol. 2/New X-Men).
Marvel have gone kinda crazy in the past few years; they killed of Captain America, turned the Fantastic Four into the Future Foundation and now they're ending the X-men, after all that M-day/Moving to Frisco/Utopia island shit :S ---------- Post added 9th Jun 2011 at 03:35 PM ---------- and don't even get me started on all the Ultimate Marvel crap with the mini-apocalypse
I blame Disney. But really, my little brother and I grew up on his dad's (my step-dad's) Marvel comics, and X-Men was definitely one of the most beloved in our household, right before Spiderman. This makes me very upset.
