My main complaint with the X-Men franchise these days is that it feels disjointed. Writers, plans and directions change every two years in a way that feels more marketing-oriented than organically growing from the characters and plots. The only X-book that actually feels like it's organically developing is X-Factor, and no surprise, it's had the same writer for five years and is on the fringes so editors and marketing teams don't whiplash it this way and that every six months. You don't feel like there's any kind of long-term development when you only get about four storylines per writer, they barely get something started and then they're gone.

Also, too much focus on Scott, Logan and Emma. The franchise has the richest stable of characters in the industry and 95% of them are sidelined so we can have half a dozen books a month where Scott, Logan and Emma are hotdogging.
