Wait... you're actually reading this?! |

Reading those X-Men comic collections really made me curious as to the comics I already owned. At what point did I become a regular reader? I know it was shortly before the cartoon came out, but I don't really know what issue it was. For some reason, I shied away from Uncanny X-Men and focused on the second X-Men title, so was really reading the history of a comic book I never collected (even though it's the same stories and histories I've been reading). I think part of the reason I never got into the back issues of the X-Men before was due to the fact that it seemed so daunting a prospect. Chris Claremont wove an intricate web where you really needed to go back twenty years to get to the start of the story. Now that I've done that, I wanna fill in the gaps. Why did the X-Men move to Australia? When did Jean Grey come back? I'm sure these answers can be found on the net, but I wanna read it as it came out, through the comics. So what do I do? Wait for new Essential X-Men volumes to come out? (Something tells me that's unlikely to occur.) Buy the back issues? (Oh boy, that could be expensive!) Whatever may happen, I'll be spending the present going through my already-amassed collection.
