Wheres this team?

This was one of the trades that makes me think of the X-Men fondly and wonder what has happened to this franchise? This was a period that almost every X-men title that came out was quality. Now, its seems there aren't many trades,that the emphasis is on The Avengers and the X-Men have fallen off the map. Messiah and all surrounding X-Men titles aren't getting it done. But I must say I did like the Rise and Fall of Shi'ar.

A Worthwhile Read

I was initially put off of purchasing this story arc because of somewhat negative reviews but was eventually swayed by the presence of Polaris - an X-Man that I think is quite underused - and my two favourites, Remy LeBeau and Rogue. I'm glad I chose to buy Golgotha because I found it to be very intruiging! It's not perfect of course, few graphic novels are, but it's got some very interesting character arcs involving Rogue and Gambit's relationship and, the moment when a thousand fangirls rejoiced, a kiss between Rogue and Wolverine! Sadly, the emotions are never resolved and while the X-Men save the world as always, they're left to go home feeling sort of awkward and unsure of themselves and their relationships with each other. I would've liked to see Wolverine and Rogue's kiss & it's impact on the future of Gambit and Rogue adressed in more than just one lone panel but overall, this is a worthwhile read with some very nice art.
