Extremely relevant to X-Men continuity, though. Not my favorite until the great Peter David takes over with issue 70. Louise Simonson starts this one and continues the writing chores for the first 69 issues. At that point I would stick to the issue involved in the cross-over events. Louise Simonson takes over with issue 55. The New Mutants (NM): Claremont wrote issues 1-54. Uncanny X-Men (UXM): The X-Men flagship titile. Diversity to the rescue! 16 Years of Claremont: And so the epic begins…. Claremont did not write this, but Claremont’s epic really starts with this issue. Out with the old X-Men & in with the new. Giant-Size X-Men #1 : The one that started it all! You must read this. Not much of a super-hero book, more of a World War 2 holocaust survivor’s diary. Magneto: Testament : Not required reading, but great insight into the super-villain as a young man. I just linked to the first volume, but there’s more on Amazon. Just fun adventures before the world of mutants gets super serious. Read this for a fun look back at the original Uncanny X-men issues. Recaps some of the early Lee/Kirby issues. Before jumping right into that issue you should read some origin stories…. Support CBH on Patreon for exclusive rewards, or Donate here!
