I've hated the direction they've taken X-Men since the late 90s. I tried reading an Uncanny book a few years ago that had White Queen wearing black, Cyclops in a red and black suit, Magik (who is wanted by Dormmamu), Magneto in white and working for Shield, and a bunch of n00bs and I couldn't get into it at all. Not just because the story seemed extremely convoluted despite being Volumes 1 and 2, but they just weren't all that interesting and the artwork was all over the place. I loved the idea of Magik being a main member of the team, but I felt like I jumped into like issue 97 rather than 1.

I also don't get the praises people have for Bendis. I haven't read a single thing from him I liked.

Anyway, back to the discusssion about rivarly 2 packs, I guess my picks would be:

Romita Colored Spider-Man vs Romita Jr Hobgoblin
Captain America in light blue vs Silver Age Red Skull
Iron Man (80th repaint) vs Mandarin
Agent 13 vs Modok
Professor X in wheel chair vs Magneto (using AoA Morph's cape)
Lilandra vs Lady Deathbird
