This might be a controversial take but i will always defend decimation era x-books. I feel like it was one of the last times we saw the x-men’s situation be SO gritty and dire. Even the characters who were meant to be fun and cute (pixie, anole, elixir, etc.) were so serious because the stakes were so high and it was such a dark time. Like everyone was truly trauma bonded and they really felt like a dysfunctional family😭. I also love how cruel scott gets in this era. It’s also the era i started reading comics so it may just be nostalgia but idc i love these books especially the stuff by kyle and yost.
