When I was young, I also started with x-men #1, and read faithfully until the age of apocolypse when I just got tired of it and swore off mainstream super hero comics for the next 11 years. I really thought the impressiveness of x-men 1-3 was a fluke. After reading you blog I now own a nearly complete x-men collection (thanks to the help of tpbs and the oddly easy to aquire vg and vf $1 x-men bins). My wife hates the ten additional comic boxes that have entered into her life, but I’ve been having a great time digging back into this genre that I had long since discounted. Thanks for the reading!! Please give serious thought to looking at x-men forever. Many times I’ve felt baffled by certain choices claremont made there, but in my reading I’ve just finished the 2004 period of x-books, so I’m starting to really see the creative dialogue he has between his return to the 616 stuff and when he feels he has full control over his universe.
