2. Angel and Psylocke Get Back Together
Reunited and it feels so good! Most comic readers are romantics at heart, and the X-fans are no exception. It seems everyone was thrilled to see this classic couple back together, and they truly appreciated the reason behind this reunion as well...
I only have one favorite moment of 2010: Angel and Psylocke getting back together. I'm glad they didn't get back together just for the sake of it -- there's substance to it. I love how Remender handles the relationship and how it acts as the heart of the book. Plus they've always been my favorite X-couple.
--Giselle
When Betty explains to Warren why she is there on the team -- it's pure romance meshed with drama and reality. And it's all complemented by Jerome Opena's wonderful art and damn fine dialogue by the awesome Rick Remender!
--Renaldo
Psylocke and Archangel getting back together...it just feels so right. The X-Universe was lacking some good old romance...

3. The Death of Nightcrawler
4. "Uncanny X-Force" and The Final Horsemen
In September, the covert X-Force team formed by Cyclops and Wolverine was disbanded, but less than thirty days later...long live X-Force! That is to say, long live the new Uncanny X-Force, as written by Rick Remender. The formation of this team (headed by Angel and Wolverine) coupled with the creation of new Final Horsemen drove fans wild with excitement!
"Uncanny X-Force" definitely comes first. The Final Horsemen are the best Horsemen lineup to date! A Geisha who vomits bugs? Just beautiful!
-- Chace
Two issues in and this has already outshined everything else that was released this year. Wolverine, Archangel, Psylocke, Deadpool and Fantomex chasing Apocalypse as a child? What's not to like?

“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Some of the things that entered this list are quite stupid... I mean, Pixie Strikes Back, really (the only remarkable thing there was the Emma/Betsy/Kurt team-up)? Emma's TANLINE??
But I liked both Psylocke-related items in the list. The new Horsemen are indeed the best incarnation of the Horsemen, and I hope they won't die or be depowered so soon. And as much as I despise Warren, Remender made his romance with Betsy actually work, they look like a convincing couple.
