X-Men Issue 1

I can't tell you how excited that I am to actually be undertaking this project.  The X-Men have been my favorite Marvel super team for almost thirty years now!  Though I have loved everything I have read from the 90s to current, I never really sat down and dedicated myself to finding these older issues to pour through.

I feel that this is because when I was a kid I had a reprint of X-Men #1, and I remember reading through it feeling that the art was sub par, and the story was weak and flat.  Looking back, I was almost spoiled by the amazing art of Jim Lee from his run with Claremont, and I felt that between those comics and the X-Men cartoon, this was just too "out of date" for me.

Honestly, that's probably how younger kids look at me now when I talk about movies I loved from the 80s.  Or when they stand back and gasp when I show them a black and white movie.

Anyway - on to issue 1!
