La seconda squadra, la "Saga di Proteus"... tutto materiale classico che avevo già letto fra la fine degli anni Ottanta e l'inizio dei Novanta, ma che qui è ripresentato organicamente (anche se in b/n) e a un prezzo vantaggiosissimo, considerato quanto valgono gli albi originali. ( )

Black and white reissue of the X-men comics introducing the new team, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Collossus, Storm, and more. Great place to jump into the X-men universe. ( )

Mutants! Dinosaurs! Crazy carnival side-shows! Giant killer robots! Alien empresses and the telepaths who love them! Why did I wait so long to read this? ( )

I love everything Marvel. The storylines are incredible! They have everything you could want: action, adventure, comedy, romance, political intrigue, allegories, metaphors, etc. Some stories drag, some end too soon. ( )

The beginning of the best x-men stories written. These early stories had faults and were on shaky ground but you slowly but surely get sucked in to the storyline as it unfolds. The artwork goes up a notch when John Byrne comes on board but was decent in the earliest issues. I definitely enjoyed the subtle humor like when the writing team writes themselves into the plot during the Phoenix/Firelord fight in issue 105 or Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in issue 98. You also have nods to Edgar Rice Burroughs in issue 98 if one notices the boats name is Dejah Thoris and coolest of all is the mention of Nightcrawler going to see the Star Wars film that just came out! LOL You have the birth of the Phoenix, the Corsairs and a few other first appearances which keep the issue hopping. Lots of good stuff and what I like the most is the beginning of the development of the characters, slow but you begin to get a taste of what is fully developed in the next few years of the series. ( )
