I have fond memories of the original series, various arcs that Chris Claremont worte and single issues of X-titles that tied into one event or another. Between the movies and appearances of mutants in other Marvel titles I can't say I have any strong attachment to the characters as appear in the comics.<br /><br />Of course, since I was buying the book from #1, I do wish I still had all those back issues.Steve Chaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125192472002278757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-58120334567521289172013-09-25T13:41:25.231-04:002013-09-25T13:41:25.231-04:00Sadly, current X-Men continuity sounds as difficul...Sadly, current X-Men continuity sounds as difficult as almost-ever for a new reader or even an old reader to just "drop in." In 1984, was shipped to Korea and, having missed several issues of the I-thought-it-was-convulted-THEN Claremont Continuity, I was never able to jump back in. <br /><br />They may be the best things in comics now, but even trying to re-start with All-New/Old X-Men #1 threw me into my own time paradox.<br /><br />There were some terrific stories from time to time in the X-Men in the past, but - like Tony over there - the title never really became a "must read" for me.MormonYoYoMan@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760670974938562837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-83270192203064236502013-09-25T10:41:10.870-04:002013-09-25T10:41:10.870-04:00Sadly, Tony, you got the current X-men Continuity ...Sadly, Tony, you got the current X-men Continuity correct!Joe Ridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-36452365360178499002013-09-25T10:10:27.020-04:002013-09-25T10:10:27.020-04:00Your memories of the state of the original X-Men a...Your memories of the state of the original X-Men are pretty much spot on, Tony, except for McCoy dying. He mutated again and got better.<br /><br />But.....<br /><br />On top of that, McCoy went into the past, grabbed the 5 original X-Men from fairly early on in their careers, and brought them to the present to try to knock some sense into terrorist Cyclops. Once in the present, and seeing how messed up their futures are, the Original 5 decide to stay (despite time paradoxes), and are the focus of the "All New X-Men" book, and the current Children of the Atom crossover. <br /><br />So, Jean is both dead and alive now.<br />Scott is a terrorist AND a newbie hero.<br />etc.Dave S.noreply@blogger.com
