X-Men: Onslaught Aftermath

A low 3 stars as a set of individual comics but less than that based on the titles implication. Then again the Onslaught storyline was a complete mess so the Aftermath never really had a chance.
There isn't really any Aftermath to Onslaught, mutant prejudice isn't appreciably worse than it was with the announcement of the Legacy virus. Despite Graydon Creeds presidential run and the death of the most of the worlds heros in the battle with Onslaught.
Nobody even knows what happened there, i mean they know the X-men where nearby but no one ever got any footage or even witnesses who saw the X-men shoot the Avengers in the back.
Also one of the worst things is that Xavier still somehow has a secret identity... i mean all his worst enemies know who he is but despite the Onslaught incident even his enemies are for some reason hiding the fact that he's a mutant not to mention the leader of the X-men, from the general public.
Also, again for questionable reasons, no one outs Graydon Creed as the son of mutants, and while it's briefly addressed as to why the main X-men don't out him, there's no reason given why his parents don't tell the world, or any of the many government people who must also know.
I also hate the team switch-ups that started in Onslaught and continue here, with the writers seemingly trying to recreated the teams used in Age of Apocalypse.
Anyway the '90s comics period is justifiably reviled, not because of a necessary lack of quality to the comics but the constant need for new storylines which continuously interrupt the previous storyline, leading to an endless number of loose ends and half baked ideas.
