Christina Strain's take on Generation X became better and better to me the more it moved away from the basic premise of the Xavier Institute setting up a class they intended to turf out after they 'graduate'.
The series moved away from this and began incorporating the classic Generation X characters more and more, and became[...]

Well, guess what…I really enjoyed this issue.
Generation X #8 from Marvel Comics by Christina Strain, Amilcar Pinna, Felipe Sobreiro, and VC's Clayton Cowles represents a great jumping-on point to the series It's a fresh start as we see another classic Gen X-er make a return, building on where she was left off in her[...]

As anyone following along with my reviews and discussions of Generation X know, Gen X means a lot to me (it's the comic that got me into comics) and I have not been overly fond of the new Generation X series, which has felt world's apart from the original.

Another element that kind of bugs me is Christina Strain's continues characterisation of Quentin Quire as some kind of spoiled rich kid brat Quire is and has always been a brat, for sure, but he was[...]

And so when as part of ResurrXion, Marvel announced a new Generation X, by Christina Strain and Amilcar[...]

Yesterday saw a new X-Position chat over at CBR, where the site gets to chat with Marvel, eXclusively, about the X-Men books.
This particular instalment is part one in a chat with the X-Editors, Mark Paniccia, Daniel Ketchum and Christina Harrinton, about what we can expect in the upcoming ResurrXion of the line,[...]
The idea of not yet another superhero team, but rather looking at the mutant kids whose powers aren't exactly 'save the day' kinda powers…that could be cool; that was an intriguing high concept.
And reading writer Christina Strain talk about it and the characters in her approved media partner CBR interview, it's hard not to feel[...]
Christina Strain will write Generation X, with Amilcar Pinna on art The book will focus on the school aspect of the X-Men, and bring some changes to the concept as well.
First of all, the school will be called The Xavier Institute once again, since it doesn't make much sense to call it the Jean Grey[...]
