AMEN!!  Finally somebody that agrees!  Whedon's run on his X-book was actually what got me to stop reading X-men a few years ago.  I literally got angry with his way of bringing colossus back.  Shadowcat finds him underground and he basically says "the colosus that died was a clone, and I've been trapped here all along" UGGGGHHH

Whedon's fans then began to read it and claim it was the best comic ever written, this made me want to punch kittens

I hate Whedon's run. I picked up his original 12 issues and while it had a nice start, good interaction between characters, not much plot to bog down the story. But after the revival of  Colossus it sunk into some drivel that made little to no sense and did that because Whedon was arrogant enough to say that he wasn't going to explain why.

The thing that really set me off was The Danger Room story. Whedon not only went out of his way to create something he never intended to explain but then not use it in a mannor that made sense. Shi'AR technology is always 'alive'? Bullcrap that still doesn't make sense, not only because he never explained it but also because it was useless are doing what it wanted to 'freely' do yet was still trapped in it's own basic programming. Luckily most of Whedon's small things like that or Lockheeds random betrayal has been explained and changed by better writers.

And issue 12 was the biggest waste of money I've spent in comics, waited months and what we got was 22 pages of 30 or 40 one liners which any fan of Whedon could have writen and no resolution.


I got the "Gifted" motion comic and I thought it was the best thing, ever.  I bought the next 20 issues without so much as a second thought.  I totally agree with you.  Everything from Danger to the Break World was nothing but a huge face palm.  How did things go wrong so fast?
