One Marvel franchise that has consistently gotten the multi-title crossover right is the X-Men franchise. Events like Messiah Complex and Second Coming were told concisely across multiple titles that you were reading anyway while the status-quo changing Schism was self-contained within its own title series. The repercussions of each event helped propel the franchise into a new and interesting direction. A 10-issue story where past, present, and future X-Men clash, I've been excited about this event since it was announced at this year's C2E2 and with the developments announced at Comic-Con a two months ago, I'm hopeful that this will be one of the best Marvel events yet!
