I'm baffled. After reading Fraction's run on Iron Man, which I absolutely loved, this entire X-Men run was such a complete turn down garbage lane. The tone was uneven at times, the pacing all over the place (no doubt because it so often had to have crossover BS tied in), plot lines were dropped or added at will, and I rarely felt any connection to any of the characters. It's unfortunate to see things fall apart so badly when Fraction was given so much time to work with these characters.
