Given that other titles were under the pen of Warren Ellis, it would seem like this was a match made in heaven as far as quality creators handling the X-Men. This plan involved new creative teams for the books, with Chris Claremont returning to write X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. The "Revolution" revamp began in 2000, and its goal was to freshen things up in the X-Men comic book line. Sales of the main X-Men titles were also cooling down a bit, with Marvel Comics responding with a move that should have been a surefire success. Spider-Man's brand had definitely been damaged by the infamous Clone Saga, and while the X-Men were doing much better, the heights of 1995's Age of Apocalypse hadn't been reached for a while. By the end of the 1990s, the X-Men and Spider-Man were still Marvel's most popular properties, though things weren't quite what they had been at the beginning of the decade.
