An excellent history of the New X-Men can be found in the most
recent issue of Amazing Heroes (#55).  The Old X-Men were covered
in the previous issue.  The author, R. A. Jones, makes a few
slips, but gets most of it (i.e. don't rely on it for a trivia
contest, but it's usually right).  Ignore the last half page,
where Jones goes off into his own little world and suggests
Storm's love for Kitty is homosexual.

There's also an interview with Bill S-word, where he generally
expresses contempt for drawing the new mutants in a recognizable
fashion.  I'm being a little harsh, but I wish he'd go back to
Moon Knight and leave the Newts in peace.

He does mention Ralph Steadman, and any fan of Steadman can't be
all bad.
