DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
The event as a whole is kinda blah and the Inhumans seem way more in the wrong than the X-Men, but I do like that the conclusion seems to be heading towards "the young inhumans and mutants realize what rear end in a top hat idiots the Royal Family and elder X-Men are, work together to find a solution that could have been done the entire time." I liked All New Inhumans so I'd like to see some of them stick around.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
It seems like in the rush to prove that "X-Men are a thing again," they're just launching a billion zillion titles that seems even more excessive than the '90s X-Men heights. I want to give things a fresh shot, but after the last few years of X-Men I really can't muster the enthusiasm to even try more than a few of them. Given the fan enthusiasm level for X-Men and the current sales figures of new Marvel comics, the idea that there's this huge groundswell of enthusiasm and the books are going to sell a ton rings false as hell. Even if there was any enthusiasm for the X-books, would that be enough to sustain an Iceman solo book, a Jean Grey solo book, and a Cable solo book in addition to all the others?

Then again, the heads are back in the upper-left corners of the team books and I'm undoubtedly going to try out Generation X and the main X-Men team books just based on nostalgia alone. Perhaps they know what they're doing to some extent.
