The many lives of X-Men in general

Good afternoon everyone and happy Tuesday once again. I’m still in the unfortunate position of not having picked up any comics since February but I’m looking forward to picking up a month and half’s worth this weekend :)

However I’ve been rather saddened this week to learn that X-Factor is officially wrapping up rather than just restarting or taking a new direction. Since the original Madrox mini-series this title has been one of not only my favourite X-Men titles but one of my favourite comics overall.

Now that said, one of the guys had a reaction much akin to ‘Pfft, that just leaves another 200 X- titles’ and as much as I love this book specifically, he does have a good point, there are lots of them on the go. We even have two X-forces now! All New and Uncanny X-men have both been fantastic thus far, should Marvel just focus on them rather than dilute their product?

For that matter, Batman has a number of titles on the go just now and there are a good few GL titles so this isn’t just a Marvel phenomenon.

Should companies go for quality over quantity? Unfortunately it looks like you can’t have both :(
