My opinion is as you increase the titles you decrease the talent pool by which to draw from so, Dc is being written as a whole much better than marvel, we need one x men book one x force book one new mutants book and one x factor book. Id love to see an Excalibur brought back but with new heroes new story lines.
Look at the saturation Uncanny X men, X men, Astonishing X men, X men legacy, Wolverine and the X-men, Uncanny Avengers. Its frigging ridiculous. Clairemont kept it rolling with just one title and that title dominated the industry.
From Uncanny 94 to 279 there was in my opinion never a better writer than Clairemont.
well that is certainly your opinion, before the new 52 i think gail simones work on birds of prey was some really great stuff. Since Clairmont left the x titles have been stagnant and rife with character change power change retelling old themes in a different way and ridiculous plot lines. Since I have nearly every uncanny book in my collection I still collect but reading them is a chore.
