I would just like to see a year or two where there isn't a giant crossover story arc for the Xmen, and we can actually get some character development. Ever since House of M it's been non-stop crossovers and it's starting to become overkill.

I want a goddamn story about Iceman or Hellion already.

That being said, the Vampire storyline might be ok.

 

This. They just did Necrosha, which was yet another way to tackle the undead in a sidelong fashion. So we had Marvel Zombies, Necrosha, now vampires? We're not just going to the same well again, are we?

As has been said before, the X-Men have already fought Dracula himself a few times, anyway. Buncha What If...?s about it, too.

No. On mainstream 616 Earth, all mutants, Eternals, and Deviants are the direct result of Celestial experimentation. They've done it on many worlds. All Skrulls, for example, are Deviants. In Earth-X, Celestials incubated an egg in the Earth.

Marvel is still doing little to lure me back to their books.

The X-Universe has been in such a sad state since the end of Claremont's third run, that I just can't get all fanraged over this. Vampires? meh. The X-Men? double meh.

 

This is slightly off topic but I was reading a Mark Millar interview recently and he was saying that in Ultimat Avengers he was going to right a dream sequence for Blade in which he "skewers" Robert Pattison.
