Historically speaking, almost every single X-Men writer has struggled to live up to Chris Claremonts definitive run with everyones favourite mutant superhero team. Then G-Mozza came along and redefined how readers felt about mutants. Alongside long-time collaborator Frank Quitely, as well as Leinel Francis Yu, Igor Kordey, Ethan Van Sciver, John Paul Leon, Kieron Grant, Phil Jimenez, Marc Silvestri and Chris Bachalo; Morrison took what was essentially a tangled web of inter-related stories and streamlined it, whilst adding a few of his own iconic mutants, giving us a brand new X-Men title. By focussing not on the established adult mutants and instead centering the stories on the younger students at The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning; New X-Men felt novel and fresh. Grant took a different approach to New X-men from past writers; he wrote it like a soap opera, in a reactionary, organic way, working with each storyline as it came to him. This approach lent the comic a character-driven vibe, especially with Grants handling of Scott Summers possibly the first writer in many a year not to take Wolverine as the main character and placing him front and centre in the team, documenting his struggles with leadership and his place in a love triangle between Jean Grey and Emma Frost. With its rich history and even richer gold mine of Grants fertile imagination, New X-Men was a Marvel, plain and simple.
