IvX was... surprisingly good? I don't know what I was expecting per se... or, well, I do. AvX was so drastically one-sided. The X-Men were right and the Avengers were dicks and caused the entire mess that then had to be cleaned up. This one though, it was actually legitimately complicated with logic and ambiguity and complexity on both sides and I really enjoyed it!

And! All the tie-ins were relevant and interesting and expanded on the story in fun and interesting ways (barring a few small "that character definitely wasn't at that battle" art inconsistencies at places).

Now specifics, All-New gave us some sweet Bobby moments, some catharsis for Scott, a wonderful epilogue and a bunch of other story points. All in all, a great ending to Hopeless's fantastic run on this book. ( )

The best of the side issues to IvX.

The displaced guys are better than the most of the original. Love Bobby and Romeo. Their issues were my favourite. And so glad Bobby reacted the way he did in the battle.
And I liked Cyclops' issue too. Glad he found things out the way he did.

Annual - doesn't follow on in continuity. Takes place before IvX. Preferred the first story of the two.

Prime - same story as in Extrordinary X-Men. ( )
