Many 1sts in this run, with a respectable number of Newsstands around that I didn't go overboard with, yet! I like them a lot. These can be found in the dollar bin as of 2021. On the uptick value and collectable wise. Great characters like Cassandra Nova and Fantomex, the Morrison run delivers with the "New X-men!" Having some fun with the set overall, these have been interesting to read of the 1st appearances, with twists and turns. Somethings are just appreciated for the time of their conception, even if it is not as intended. I was way out of comics at this time, and it is nice to see what kept up the interest, for others, back then!
Fantomex and Negasonic Teenage Warhead being the great turn out, there were a few other 1sts in this series, such as Quentin, that made out well in other series as pivotal shakers and movers! We need X-men all the time and in our media shows.
Along with the Avengers it is make or break the internet time, by those standards and newer artists make or breaking that is, and not coinciding with Avengers isn't a hiccup, as the X-men stand all on their own. Flipping a coin between the smudges of plot, there isn't too much betwixt the old and new, except those lines of firsts that once again beckon from the dollar bin. Those slabs mean impulse buys as the corner turns into not just liking them but love for the benefit of the collection. In it to win it the X-men bounce back hard with those aspiring covers that look childishly "simple", but complex in totality that a run could have and mean so much to the thrill of the hunt. LOVE IT! Those are the moments that make it out alive when there is a slow burn of relief. Seeking and finding takes a whim of favor and knowing the plan.
