While I didn't read any of the House of M titles that weren't part of my regular series, I can definately see the fallout. Kinda
M Day would have been something if it had more of an effect on the Universe as a whole. As it stands, almost no title characters lost thier powers. And those that did, either got them back somehow, or got new ones. Magneto? Depowered and repowered. Iceman? "Depowered" and "repowered". Quicksilver? Depowered and then given new ones. Sure, some of the kids in New X-Men got hit and are from the school now, but it really doesn't feel like anything's changed. The atmosphere of the X-Titles might have been tweaked a little, but this was a chance to really shake things up. To depower some headliners and force the X-Titles to either make up new mutants or to pull old ones out of limbo to give them their time to shine.
Like Dazzler. Dazzler seems to be the one gaining the most from the fallout. A star character in the new Excalibur series by Clarmont, she seems to be undergoing a resurgence. All of her old fans are coming back, and guys who never paid her any attention before are starting to see her in a new light. Personally however, I still would have liked to have seen a Cyclops or Wolverine or Storm or Havok depowered. But maybe that's just me.
