If you’re seeing the X-titles become less and less, you’re not looking at the same Previews catalogue and release schedule that I am. Heck, the checklist that often gets run in the X-titles is longer than the one we often run in the AVENGERS books. The other difference is one of concept. The concept of AVENGERS, at its core, is about all of the biggest characters in one series. So when AVENGERS does an Event, it is natural for it to involve players across the Marvel universe. The concept of X-MEN is, at its core, about the experiences of a minority. So it is natural that, when X-MEN does an Event, it tends to remain among the X-titles–it doesn’t make a lot of sense for, say, Daredevil to get involved with a situation that’s by definition about mutants, whereas its much easier for him to get involved in a situation that’s about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes meeting some threat.
