Yeah, now no one’s answering my question! 😛

Seriously, thanks everyone. Looking at the thread:

Astonishing got 4 positive votes and 0 negative ones…  
Uncanny got 1 positive and 2 negative.  
Ultimate got 1 negative and 6 positive.  
And X-Men only had sort of neutral comments.

So I’ll be starting with Ultimate, I think. Thanks a bunch!

She just popped up in the latest issue of Uncanny. Although who knows if she’s a clone or a skrull or pre-Crisis Psylocke or something.

While I’m not a big fan of the X-men in general, I do pick up Ultimate X-Men and Astonishing. Of the two, Astonishing is my favorite, and I’m actually a bit disappointed in Vaugh’s Ultimate, since I find Y the Last Man and Ex Machina to be such excellent titles.

Shift my vote from Uncanny to plain X-Men. I was mistaken on the title.
