Marvel Really Fumbled the X-Men And I’m Not Sure Anything Can Save Them Now
The X-Men comics, once revitalized in the "Krakoa Era," have declined in quality due to creative changes and Marvel's focus on sales over storytelling. The current "From the Ashes" era lacks originality, feels cynical, and prioritizes synergy with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, leading to a predictable and uninspired direction for the franchise. Despite decent sales, the X-Men comics are considered stale and may be headed for another creative collapse similar to the 1990s.
