Kyle/Yost's New X-Men: Childhood's End (2005-2008)

After Decimation depowers most of the Xavier School students, Kyle and Yost inherited the book and immediately killed several remaining students in a bus explosion. This is the X-Men as horror — teenagers in a world that wants them dead, trained by people who know they might not survive. The Nimrod arc and the Mercury subplot are gut-wrenching.
