Did it ever get interesting? Read the first few issues and it just felt super bland.

So, here's a bit of a random question (and I hope I haven't asked it and forgotten sometime in the past).
I had the first VHS of the 90s X-men show as a kid, and as a result those episodes are probably some of the most iconic comic related images in my head, just really burned in there. It's definitely a big part of why Jubilee is so nostalgic for me and why she's still somehow one of my favorites. And kind of as a result, to me the core X-men idea has always kind of been that classic feel of (a) teenager(s) coming to grips with something new, coupled with the idea of a government society fearing and hating them. Which is definitely a big idea for the series of course, but with all the super terrorists and demons and time travel and legacy characters that can definitely get lost in the comics a lot of the time. I've read the recent Bendis Uncanny X-men up until around the first issue of the "vs SHIELD" arc or whatever they were calling it, and that's probably the closest I've ever felt to that kind of X-men story in a comic. But it just felt like it was dragging its heels too much and not really doing much with the characters, or even really in general (and I think I've heard it gets worse about that?)
So does anyone have any suggestions of X comics (or maybe even just something similar enough) that captures that feel? I mean, I love plenty of other X stuff (got a lovely row of the Uncanny X-Force, Wolverine and the X-men, and X-Statix omnibuses sitting on my comics shelf), but this is something I'd really love to grab a nice run of at some point.

Least I didn't jump off the Gotham Academy hype train 1/4 of the way there.
Bullshit. I was there day one all the way until 2 days before.

Lobo was the most "okay" comic ever. It was... okay. The story isn't particularly compelling so far and there's not even a cliffhanger. Reilly Brown is good, but I wouldn't have guessed it was him drawing it had i not known beforehand. It's a comic that exists, alright

That describes most Lobo comics that try to tell a not ridiculous story
For Spike.
Noto is one of us Bruce x Diana relationshippers? Awesome
Thanks

Oh my. Just did some googling on this but couldn't figure out if it was a one-shot or a mini or what. Can you give me some info about this Masterplasty comic?
Also, it's got that Ron Wimberly praise, so you know it's great stuff.
Just awesome:

It's a one shot. It was a fairly short webcomic, just a few pages, so there's a ton of bonus material.
In addition, it's just so damn big and gorgeous.
EDIT: Also, Image put it out so it shouldn't be too impossible to find.
Wait. That poster you're holding is actually a comicbook!?
I need to find this.

Attn: the new Humble Bundle is Oni Press books. Looks like there's some good stuff in there - Scott Pilgrim, namely, and The Auteur, a comic i've been hyping up since it came out (it's only #1 though, for some reason), and stuff i've been meaning to get, like Helheim, Down Set Fight, Capote in Kansas, Lost at Sea, and Sixth Gun.

Gonna see if they have it in my shop. I remember reading the webcomic a while ago, but I need that physical madness.

Okay, okay. Who cares? More importantly, I talked to my comic guy and he confirmed that Ravine Vol.2 is coming out next week. For realsies, because he got billed for it by Diamond.
The Auteur TPB is 100% definitely going in my upcoming IST order. I'm so excited to read it.

Old news, actually. There have been a few series getting localized for some time now. Women love it.
