No Astonishing X-Men link = Why are you wasting my time.
Art Barr, Grant Morrison's X-Men (40 issues or so) is about the best the title's been since early 80s Claremont. But if you think Jim Lee was GREAT (I agree it got wack after he left--and most of '92-present = awful--but Jim Lee was only "good" overall, imo) then maybe story-driven ish your main interest anyway.

what issue run, the last four years or so. after lobdell, uhh.
when was that?
a comix hasn't been able to hold my attention in a long a55 time. i mean a long a55 time.
art barr
comix are only as good as a story and great, incredible styled art. i don't like the xmen looking like manga. that sh!t, is goof ball. it's like letting peter porker be a real drawing force in marvel comix. it kinda kills the marvel look, and all that for me.

morrison's run was ridiculous. he challenged/eradicated a bunch of continuity points established during the claremont era (to the point claremont bashed marvel for essentially destroying years of his work), but it was well worth it, imo. Nano-Sentinels, Cassandra Nova and the mutherfukking U-Men (no wait; not the U-Men. i'm talking about the teen group addicted to enhancers that took a baseball bat to Xavier), lol. "nuff said." Morrison delivered the goods. And Quitley's art was on point too, though he missed some issues during the run.
Astonishing is pretty damn thorough in its own right as well. I slept on it for a while, but damn. Cyclops poppin' nikkas, fraidey-cat Logan, Beast...beastin'...quality shyt. I'm mad I waited so long and now Whedon's getting ready to leave.

I was in the same place you were until like eight months ago. I hadn't fukked with comics in 5+ years, then I had the courage to try to find out what had happened since because there's a Borders/Starbucks here where I could read TPBs for free (which is hiphop) and I did some serious catching up.
The Morrison stuff was like from 2000-2002, I think. I only read them this past year in TPB format so I don't know the exact issue numbers, but you can find out more easily online. It was X-Men vol. 2 with the title changed to "New X-Men" just for Morrison's run. (I guess there's another "New X-Men" title out there now, but it has no relation.)
Yeah, the manga style is rarely good. I liked Joe Madureira's style a LOT, but it barely took hold of the book because of scheduling and editorial decisions.
Emma Frost = hiphop, original b-girl.
Scott Lobdell = the least hiphop thing in the world. I remember one issue where he had Archeangel say something like "When the REAVERS ripped off my wings".
