Whedon's X-Men run... well, disappointed me, particularly with the way it ended. Considering the length of time between issues (which you touched upon so eloquently, above), each individual installment felt kind of empty to me. Maybe as someone who cut his teeth on Claremontian dialogues (and monologues), I wasn't ready for an X-Men issue to be over as quickly as those felt. I felt like the filler-to-plot ratio was very high sometimes, and it grated at me.
The way he wrapped it up, giving us not one but TWO classic Whedonisms (kill the one you love, sex equals death) kind of poisoned the well for me, and I've never felt the urge to go back and re-read.
Maybe the semi-motion aspect will make it more palatable. Worth a try, at least to see how this technology is developing.
