Riot at Xavier's and Assault on Weapon Plus are volumes four and five of Grant Morrison's New X-Men.
I really loved Riot at Xavier's. The Stepford Cuckoos are so cool, and Emma Frost is both fabulously cool and very human (in her own delightful way). I wished that there was some more about... well, I'll just say the babies, so as not to spoil the plot for anyone. And the whole mutant gang thing is a really cool plot.
Assault on Weapon Plus is quite different (although it still has the same deft dialogue which I really enjoy). Cyclops, Wolverine and Fantomex go searching for the clues to the latter two's past. It's shorter than Riot, and less full of touching moments - it also leaves us on a pretty intense cliffhanger. Next volume please!
