What would you do if suddenly you were one of only 198 remaining members of an oppressed minority? That’s the question the X-Men had to grapple with in this era. Predictably, the answer wasn’t immediately apparent. Well, one answer was. Survive. As if newfound ultra-minority status wasn’t trouble enough, this era is packed with the explosion of long held secrets that threaten to tear the team apart. In the midst of all of this, Storm finds time to rekindle her romance with The Black Panther, a superhero Civil War is fought, and a group of X-Men travel the cosmos to defend the Shi’ar Empire from Cyclops and Havok’s long lost brother. This era also sees the end of Joss Whedon’s excellent run on Astonishing X-Men, a sort of spiritual succesor to Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run in some ways, but still very much its own wonderful thing. In the end of this era, a child is born – a mutant child. And the X-Men must race against multiple other interested factions to save the future of their race. Here begins the saga of Hope, which will stretch over the next two eras.
