The good news for fans who might be less than thrilled at the current state of the X-Men franchise is that there's now a second option for those who prefer standalone, humor-oriented books. X-Men '92 picks up where last year's Secret Wars tie-in left off, chronicling the ongoing adventures of the merry mutants in the tradition of the beloved animated series. This series works as a heavy dose of nostalgia, but more importantly, it's just plain fun to read.
The new series deviates a bit more from the framework of the cartoon than its predecessor did. The traditional team lineup has changed, with Bishop and Psylocke replacing Cyclops and Jean Grey and the casts of Generation X and X-Statix now settling into the mansion. These changes seem to be for the better. I blame X-Men: The Animated Series for leading me to believe Cyclops was a terrible character for several years, and there's not a lot to be gained by having that stuffy teacher's pet version of the character hogging the spotlight. Psylocke and Bishop make for fun additions to the group dynamic. And the addition of a real student body to this incarnation of the X-Men doesn't hurt either. Characters like Chamber add a bit of extra flavor to the book without distracting from the core cast.
