New X-Men: Omnibus
by Marc Silvestri, Frank Quitely, John Paul Leon, Grant Morrison, Igor Kordey, Tom Derenick, Keron Grant, Phil Jimenez, Leinil Francis Yu, Chris Bachalo, Ethan Van Sciver
Grant Morrison did the job he intended to do well. He pulled the Marvel Mutants into the 21st Century and simultaneously gave them a fresh start without having to wipe away decades of continuity. The characters feel like real people who are jaded after going through crisis after crisis. And his work with Emma Frost (sexed up artwork aside) made the whole run super interesting.
On the other hand, his pacing was a little all over the place. He doesn't seed in the long game nearly as well as Claremont. Certain aspects seem to be there just to provoke (there is literally a subplot where Beast says he's gay just provoke his ex). And the climax of his run hinges on treating Magneto as both a patient, manipulative mastermind and an over the top relic of a by gone era.
But all in all this had a cinematic scope that kept the pages turning, and it can't be overstated how much influence this has had over the last 20 years of X-Men comics.
