Did Havok have a breakdown/loss of faith in himself while in the Savage Lands? Because I remember him being in charge during that time, or leading right up to it. I do remember that Psylocke used her powers to convince the others to go through the Siege. And yes, it is sad that it's been 20 years. :...

I would have been okay with the storyline if they had not used the 12 Prophecy as the basis for it.

Most Disappointing Story Arcs

Apocalypse: The Twelve.

The seeds for this storyline began way back in the mid 1980's when Master Mold referred to Cyclops as one of the “strong twelve,â€￾ who must be killed. When MM fused with Nimrod, again he refers to the Outback X-Men as the Twelve before he was sent through the Siege Perilous.

Who were the twelve, and why were they targeted for termination?

Quoted in Power Pack, MM said:

"The dozen mutant humans who will one day rise up and lead all of mutantkind in war against homo sapiens in the twilight of Earth."

There seemingly was going to be an apocalyptic battle leading to a Days of Future Past type of scenario where The Twelve were going to battle mankind and sentinels. Sounds pretty cool, right?

What did we get instead?

The prophecy of The Twelve was made up by Apocalypse so he could kidnap them and use them in a machine to grant himself omnipotent powers. Oh, and Wolvie was his new "Death" and Cyclops wound up possessed by Apocalypse.

I thought Havok led them the whole way after Storm went afk. He was all busy-body on the rest of the X-Men, having them under video surveillance and shit. At the end of that arc, it was Colossus, Dazzler, Psylocke and Havok who were the last to depart through the Siege Perilous, right? Afterwards, W...

X-Treme X-Men was Claremont's handywork? I remember liking that series, if it's the one where they're searching for Destiny's diaries. I thought that was a very clever premise. Did that ever pan out?

Jim Lee's version is obviously the best, but I prefer the armored version from the Inferno days.

I see no reason to separate them, keep them all together. Usually they are sorted by company which doesn't really bother me, but horrible selections do bother me.

They do not take into account that those computers are probably doing other things while spam is being sent out. A lot of spam is sent out using host computers that don't even know that they are being used.

Graphic novels should be separate from regular books. They should also be separate from Manga. All three are completely different mediums.
