@Kristin- I only bought the SI She-Hulk but I thought they were decent. It seemed to be a book on the fringe that could turn around at any moment.

Yeah, Ultimate Spidey got a reboot…along with the rest of the Ultimate Universe, I thought. I remember reading something about that mess…..

I LOVED She-Hulk when Dan Slott was writing it. There was this wonderful, campy sense of humor to the series, which made me pick it up. But then he left and Peter David took over. It wasn’t that David was a bad writer; in fact, I think it remained a well written book. But it lost the feel, the charm, the cheese of Slott’s run. Which was why I picked it up in the first place. It wasn’t the same book anymore, so I stopped reading after a few of David’s issues.

I makes you wonder who gets to decide what gets cut.

@ andy, I can’t bring myself to buy anything Claremont with his rep the way it is lately but as far as Torch is concerned I don’t care for that character anyway.

I also miss Captain Britain and MI-13. I’m not sure why it got axed as the art and story were fantastic.

As for New Exiles; this series was garbage; more Chris Claremont drivel that is better used as fire starters. Jeff Parker’s Exiles, however, was great and shouldn’t have gotten cancelled after issue #6. I think that Claremont gave the Exiles a bad name, so when people heard the title was getting a reboot in April, the New Exiles run left a bad taste in their mouth so it was vetoed by many readers.

Ultimate Spider-Man was cancelled, sure, but it’s been rebooted in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man which is now on issue #3.

You didn’t like Moon Knight? Seriously? I disagree there.

Torch has ben pretty solid as well; bringing a Golden Age character back to the Modern Age. X-Babies was a fun book and reflected the original series nicely, so I disagree with your opinions on these two as well.

X-Men Forever is absolute garbage. Thank the Maker that this is NOT the direction X-Men went after issue #3…

In the poll, I voted X-Men Forever, but you should really give some of these titles a whirl before claiming they should get the axe!
