Oh yes, definite yes. Though I must admit, my fave X-men comics are the ones having the chars dealing with normal life. Storm saving a couple with her powers and seeing the fear in their eyes. Iceman making icesculptures at university, and the kids just looking at them in sheer joy. Jubilee going to the mall, wanting to make friends, and using her powers to help a few kids, and then seeing the look in those kids' faces...
I loved seeing Scott try to love Madeleine, so unsure of wether it was her he loved, or the woman she ressembled so much. (too bad she turned out to be a clone) I loved Scott and his brother Alex playing a game of pool, telling they love one another and having the men looking at them, thinking they're gay.
I loved X-force when they went away from being heroes and just travelled through the country, just being with friends and living.
To me, the thing that is supposedly the draw of the superhero books, the big fights, is most of the time actually a deterrant. Cause it's not what I buy the books for.
Hell, my fave comic lately was the one where Peter goes after MJ, they nearly miss one another since she's coming back from New York, while he's coming back from LA (I think) and they both end up in this airport that gets attacked by terrorists. Only even though that situation should be serious (Doctor Doom's involved), the entire attention is focussed on MJ and Peter talking out their issues and dealing with one another. With their seperation, MJ's issues with him being a superhero and it just hits the heart of the chars. Why they're together, who they are and it's just perfect... (and look at me going in a rant again*g*)

Either way. I just love comics.
