Grant Morrison's New X- Men - a Couple of Questions

[Dounreay]

Just finished Vol 1 of New X-Men and a spiffing good read it was too.

Not being too up on the subject, what happened after old Grant retired the scripting chores? Did X-Men revert back to yellow spandex? Did Marvel stick with Mr Morrison's story line or did they mangle the continuity to suit? Is the rest of new X-Men as good as the first volume?

Joss Whedon put them straight back into the Lycra, sadly.

But Morrison's X-Men was the best it's been since, well, ever!

Yes, no, yes.

Thanks for the help.

Looks like a trip to Amazon is in order.

you could get the New X-Men Hardcover Omnibus...

New X-Men Omnibus (114-154, Annual 2001; w Grant Morrison; a Frank Quitely, Ethan Van Sciver, Igor Kordey, Leinil Francis Yu, John Paul Leon, Phil Jimenez, Marc Silvestri, Chris Bachalo). [From Marvel Comics: Sixteen million mutants dead - and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, JLA, FANTASTIC FOUR: 1234) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century - masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match. Now, his entire Eisner Award-nominated run on NEW X-MEN is collected in one deluxe hardcover!]

Only £185 from Amazon !

yep, loved MOrrisons New X-men, Cassandra Nova is one top creation and scary as fuck pitty they've fucked her now and Xorn(confusing enough when written by Morrison totaly confusing when anyone else trys to use him).  Unfortunatly they've pretty much written all the best stuff morrison did out of continuity except for certain things that they couldn't like Genosha's destruction. so yes get the rest if you can.

Mild spoilers....




Apparently they brought back Xorn as a recurring character, which is just ridiculous if you have read past book 6.




End of Spoilers....



New Xmen is great though, I especially love the way that it has a very definate end and you don't need to carry on reading th series. They should have used the Nova/Xorn,Weapon 13 characters and plot for the third Xmen movie.
