Reading the X-Men

🧬 Chronoskimming my way through the X-Canon on a cross-time caper from the beginning. Currently reading Iron Fist (yes, it's an X-Men title).
Unfortunately, because it was so good, this book served as a backdoor pilot to Bendis's All-New X-Men where the teenage O5 were transported through time to the modern era.
This premise never delivered on its potential and left the X-Books feeling adrift and incoherent until the Krakoa era.

Pre-Claremont X-Men feels dated, but in this OGN, these characters had authentic teenage voices, personalities and feelings for the first time.
Many of the narrative threads from the original X-Men run in the 60s were woven together as highlights and refreshed for a modern audience.
