Reading Every X-Men Related Comic Ever Written

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while. I've actually done a large portion of it in the past (I got from the 60s to about 2010), but that was like 8 years ago, and I'll admit a large portion of it has worn off and I don't remember nearly as much of what I would like to. Basically, I'm going to read every comic that is X-Men related. From start to finish, going from the 60s to modern era. Why? Because I'm an idiot. Why am I making a blog for it? Because unlike last time, I want a written record of the adventure, and I think others might find it fun to follow along in the insane quest.

First some basic info though about me. Your guide, the X-Istentialist. I'm a huge X-Men fan (it would be silly if I wasn't right?). It has been my favorite comic book property almost since I could read. The first X-comics I read were in the late 80s/early 90s. Fall of Mutants to Australia Team that era of stuff (though hilariously, Australia time period is one of my least favorite). Obviously, as I pulled a bunch of stuff from the "old comics" bins as well, I'd read a good bit of things that were older than that as a kid, but it was all mix matched stuff that I could find and I didn't start in the Claremont heyday, so I don't have the same nostalgia for it as a lot of fans (this is not to say I don't enjoy it).

But the thing is, with the internet not being what it is now... just in general I was all over the place in what I owned and had read as a kid. It's just unlikely a kid in the 90s would have had the access that we have nowadays through digital comics and the like.

So now I'm going to read through all of it. And record things through this blog. I'll do a few sentences on each individual comic I read, sometimes smashing a few together if they are all one storyline and it makes sense to do so. I'm not going to do full reviews because... good lord there are so many.

And when I mean so many, I mean getting from the 60s to the 2000s is 2700 comics. Even reading 8 a day, it would take me nearly a full year just to get to the year 2000. I doubt I'll go that fast. This will be a stupid undertaking. It probably isn't a sane undertaking.

But well. Here we are. And off we go.
