I'm a sporadic reader of comics these days; it's just too expensive anymore to follow any of them on a monthly basis. I remember fondly when new issues were sixty cents; I could scrounge about for three bucks in change, head to the bookstore, and walk out with five new comics to read. Them's was the days....
Anyway, the comics reviewers at AICN have, in their own peculiar idiom (basically involving lots of sarcasm and profanity), done a bit of traipsing down memory lane for the best X-Men stories of all time. Ah, the memories...the Mutant Massacre...the Dark Phoenix saga...when there were only three "mutant-centric" series in the Marvel lineup (Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor, New Mutants), but the stories would be told in multi-issue crossovers amongst all those series...what fun it was. I could have done without X-Factor, actually -- and its ham-handed resurrection of Jean Grey. But still, it was all a lot of fun.
