An abundance of X-Titles

Alternate title: Holy crap, that is a lot of X-Books! (via Topless Robot)



I was going to make a joke about how it's the 90s all over again, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have four different X-Men titles running concurrently back then. The 2000s, on the other hand, did. You had like five or six X-Men titles popping up, from Astonishing X-Men to X-Treme X-Men. Two of those don't really count though: X-Men: Unlimited and X-Men: The Hidden Years. The latter was sort of an anthology series and after it was rebooted, a one-shot per character series, while the latter focused on the original team's adventures in-between their cancellation and Giant-Sized X-Men #1. Additionally, some of those other titles didn't last more than a few years before being canned, because the market just can't handle that much X-Men.

I've got a bigger question though, what in the hell is with Wolverine's arms? There's no possible way he could bend his arms with muscles. Comic book artists tend to have a less-than-superb understanding of human anatomy, but geesh!

Also, is that Nightcrawler on the X-Force cover? Isn't he dead?
