The whole asmodel storyline was just extremely unimpressive to me and I wasn't too fond of them pushing Superman to the forefront in parts where zauriel should have been pushed more. Everything else about his run was just ok with nothing really memorable about it.

Again, that just sounds like you have a problem with how Justice League comics are written. There's nothing wrong with that, mind you, but there's a difference between disliking the concept or intent of something, and the execution.

X men are written better. They are more down to earth, so characters always have a potential for interesting scenarios that we can relate to

JL tend to be written as these god-like beings with little flaw.

Nah, I like Mark waid's run, Dwayne McDuffie RIP had a really good run too. I enjoyed most of the new 52 story arcs also.

I can admit when it comes to DC super teams I've always been a JSA, outsiders, and teen Titans fan more than justice league

So you like McDuffie's run but not Morrison's.

Okay, fair enough... I don't understand why, but still, if you like it, you like it.

M-Day rolling into Utopia was quality for all X-Titles. Also I feel like Milligan gets a bad wrap. The Draco was trash but everything else was gold. The dementia of Golgotha and that purge arc? ****ing ASTONISHING?! Mwah. Then Bendis ruined them. All through to IvX was so-so at best. Blue, Red, that iteration of Astonishing. It was like Stockholm syndrome and we were getting better than what we used to. And now Hickman is giving them a much needed revamping in wide and wondrous ways.

I agree on Hickman. Some personalities were altered a bit, but I think he's doing great job overall with it. He's managing a gigantic roster of mutants, so I cut him slack if some get "sacrificed" for a good story. Yeah, we can praise Claremont, but Claremont also had the benefit of having created a huge chunk of those characters, so he could define them however he wanted. If Hickman delivers on all the set up he's giving us, it has potential for being one of the greats.

Golgotha and Utopia though? Utopia suffered from on of the classic hurdles writers stumble over on X-Men books: super large cast. We got Second Coming out of it, which was exciting, but Hickman's Krakoa is what Utopia was trying to be the whole time. He's redeeming a few meh storylines tbh, like the Children of the Vault.

Golgotha was just bad.
