I really liked a lot of the comics in the Krakoan Age (especially the first issues of Duggan's Marauders, William's X-Factor, Ewing's S.W.O.R.D./X-Men Red, Spurrier's Way of X/Legion of X, Hickman's Inferno and New Mutants and Gillen's Immortal X-Men), but the moment they decided to wrap this up, my interest went with it.

Last X-Men I read was 2013 All New X-Men by Bendis. I read the first 12 issues because I liked the original 5 members. It was a decent concept but didn't hold my interest enough to keep reading. Before that I read Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. I think when the whole X-Men titles got too numerous that they felt like they were their own universe I lost interest.

Haven't read an X-title since Morrison's run. I tried Hickman but it was too Hickman-y for me to give a care.

I usually try reading every time they restart but it almost never sticks.

I read the earlier part of the Hickman/Krakoa Age when it was all available on Comixology Unlimited. Once I had to start paying separately, my interest waned.

I read the House/Power of X minis when they came out and was just a bit meh. For full transparency, I am not a huge Hickman fan, as I often think he rarely sticks the landing and his big ideas result in interchangeable characters in his books (his FF being an exception for me). I later read the first year of so of most of the Krakatoa era books via Unlimited, took a break and really never went back. For me, too many moving parts trying to tell too big a story too focused on ideas and not characters and their conflicts, consequences, and growth. They weren't bad, just felt disjointed, and trying to do too many things too quickly without really digging in and doing much of it well.

That said, I did like some of the books, but the problem was I couldn't really get what I needed for those books without also following books I wasn't that enamored of. I've often said if a publisher puts me in a position of choosing all or none instead of being able to select the titles I like, I'm going to choose none just about every time. And that's how I felt about the X-line.

Looking at the announcements of the new X-books coming out of Wonder Con today, I might check them out when they hit Unlimited, especially the Gail Simone and Jed McKay books.

The current state is pretty dreadful. Krakoa had its flaws, but the way they're ending it has been terrible. Between the rushing, the way Orchis is treated as a joke despite supposedly being such a huge threat, and Gerry Duggan seemingly forgetting everything he ever learned about writing it's as bad now as the dark days of the pre-Krakoa years. It's been a long time since I've seen a writer fail so badly at action, character, dialogue, and plotting all at once as Duggan is doing in the main X-Men book and Fall of the House of X right now. I can't believe the same guy who wrote Savage Avengers is writing this crap.

I liked the Krakoa era as a whole, but it has been getting worse and worse as the years progressed, to the point I can't wait for the end anymore.  Here's hoping the MacKay and Simone books are a return to form.
