The big ideas both Gillen and Aaron talked about before leading up to the series, and both were great set-ups for what's going to come (although Uncanny #1 was more of an extension of what Gillen's been doing since the .1 issue, which is really a coda for what his run is and is going to be about). Also, both art teams (at least for the first arcs) sold. I'm usually on board for Bachalo drawing craziness, but Pacheco's work was better than the relatively glossed over house style he used in the .1 issue.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the semi-new direction of New Mutants, and I have enough confidence in DnA to put out a good story (assuming they're given enough autonomy).

I still can't grasp the point of adjectiveless X-Men (especially at $4).

Yeah, the $4 price tag on a lot of these titles is making it really hard for me to try something new.
