Bru's been gone since #500 -- it's been all-Fraction since then.

I agree that they're jumping around A LOT lately. I mean, we just got the San Francisco setup a year ago and already it's gone? That was really disconcerting.

And Mike Carey is hands-down my favorite X-writer at the moment. And believe it or not, Kyle/Yost is my second. I didn't think their insane blood-and-guts approach was a good fit for New X-Men, but there's no denying that they've made X-Force their own amazing creature. I honestly believe anything can happen in that book -- and that's a GOOD thing.
