First Look: UXM#472 - The First Forsaken

My attitude towards the X-Universe in general (aside from the very good X-Factor book written by David), is that I couldn't give two shits or a **** about them since Grant Morrison left and they pissed over all he did while there because he went DC exclusive.
 
I'm kinda losing interest in X-Men but I'm glad that some of what GM did was undone. The way he killed Magneto deserved to be retconned. He was a good writer but I hated almost every plot twist and event he came up. I also wasn't impressed that someone who killed 16 million characters failed (in my eyes at least) to introduce even one good one.
 

And now we've lost ALL of them but 196. This is better? Magneto died awesomely after revealing himself. His X-Men run was legendary, but if you prefer absoulte **** like Astonishing, that's fine.
 
Where have I even mentioned Astonishing X-Men? Does "I'm kinda losing interest in X-Men" sound positive to you?

As for Magneto, when Xorn was 'new' character, I actually quite liked him. One of my favourite issues of that era focused entirely upon him but once Planet X started, it all went to pot. The reveal itself was good but the story itself.. the way Magneto acted.. Sublime.. killing Jean Grey.. getting his head cut off by Wolverine.. no. I hated it. Everything about it felt off. Magneto just wasn't Magneto in that story so I was neither surprised nor displeased when he was revealed to be whoever the hell he really was.
 

Okay, so Magneto's characterization was slightly off. If anything I'm disappointed Grant bothered to show him at all. I'm sick of that ****.
