Damn straight

With Jim Lee

Couldn't have said it better myself

Unfortunately, from issues #175 - whatever, it suddenlt seemed to suck quite ferociously. And John Romita Jr. coming on board -did they make the awesome Paul Smith an offer he couldn't refuse, or did he just get the bum's rush? He was my favourite X-Men artist in it's entire run, especially issues #172-173. I read these issues the night before going on a study tour of Japan( I really wanted to see the Ginza!), which really wound me up, and any and all attempts at sleep that night were cancelled.

Preach!

lol

he wasent that core he was only there for one issue. In fact they werent even an official team back then..it was one mission, by the end of it...thuderbird died, sunfire left and most of them decided to stay and form the official team.

Thunderbird died at the end of his second mission (Krakatoa in Giant-Size X-Men 1 was his first), and Sunfire left at the beginning of X-Men 94, before the Count Nefaria mission started.

It was a suicide, but yeah.

The guys who make these videos aren’t really comic readers. Pretty sure all their knowledge is from Wikipedia

4 years later and nothing has changed.

I know right

The contrast between the insane mainstream popularity of the movies and the super niche following of the comics is really mind boggling

People read comics. Otherwise the price of them would be lower 😂

Books and movies are easier to grasp your head around than comics. I've been looking for places to start with x men for a while now and to put into perspective how confusing it can be: I was looking for the Chris Claremont era to start, in the websites I had found it starts at issue #94 of the classic x men later rebranded as "uncanny x men", the thing is that in that issue it drops you in the middle of a storyline that in order to understand you have to read "giant size x men", granted it's just one issue but you can't tell me it's not confusing. It goes by eras, arcs, names, issue numbers, really confusing and comic companies are not the best at separating them. More so, a writer might be replaced in the middle of a story arc, so how do you separate that? If you were reading because of the writer, should you stop reading at the ending of the last arc? How does the company differentiate for the reader to understand? Don't get me started on the lack of accessibility that people have for comic books in any given foreign language. It's really hard to find websites with comic books in Spanish (my native language). Believe it or not piracy actually helps to the popularity and sales of media, manga and anime are the juggernauts that are today in part because of the visibility that piracy brought to them. This is why manga is more popular today. One piece might be absurdly long but if someone asks you where you should start with one piece you laugh at their face "With issue one of course! There is no other entry point to the series!". And if they ask you if they can find it in their language, it will likely be a yes.

I agree

Both are great. I'm just sad my favorite run wasn't on the list. The Brood Saga.

I think God Loves, Man Kills is the greatest X-Men story of all time.

Same here •^•

me too and I thought Giants size X-men would be the number one spot since you know it save the x-men franchise, but I do love the Phoenix and the dark Phoenix sagas

It is annoying, but, how else are they going to show the material. Not all of the comics are on the Internet. Beyond that, copyright is a bitch.

Let's not forget the Phalanx Convenient.

+Wedge Antilles Phalanx Covenant was sh*t.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly.

I guess it's to attract non comic book readers which I hope not.

Was thinking the same thing... Why isn't this obvious? :(

To show footage that almost referenced storylines in the films

But...they don't. That's why I posed that question.

whatcha think of The Brood?

What are your thoughts on House of x/powers of x,?

@@noneofyourbusiness1114 I honestly find it to be way too vast in size. So many titles 😥

@@noneofyourbusiness1114 I really enjoyed astonishing X-men though.

@@ultimateslinger9857 not wrong though. I didn't even bother following up cause of that.

The first one is good but the ad-hoc the new continuing series is weak, i had to drop it after the current issue.

Yeah, but it's not an X-Men story, in the strictest sense, because the main character is only Logan, and other heroes are just supporting casts, or cameos.

true

So I tried reading Old Man Logan, but I could only find like 6 issues. How many total issues are there?

Black Intellect Originally it was only that. A six isue mini-series. But recently Marvel started over Old Man Logan, as a series, first in the Battleworld story-line, then as the part of the All-New, All Different Marvel-line.

Noir Angel .

Amen. Uninteresting and no star power.

Preach!

Hello I’m from the future and Marvel Studios just bought the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

@@tylerlarson7263hey im from the even more future and MARVEL STILL HASNT DONE ANYTHING OF NOTE WITH MY XMEN 😤

@@vivresaviva hey i'm from the future and X-MEN 97 is FUCKING FIRE

Especially as hideous as the art direction was on the 90's cartoon. I love the X-Men, and I have ZERO idea how that ugly garbage got popular.

+Ilznidiotic the cartoon in the 90s got so popular because we kids has never read the comics so the cartoon was all we knew.

The art is a lot better then the art crap we get in todays shows. The show became popular due good story telling, good writing and character development. Instead of crying like a disrespectful brat, why not watch the show for a change.

+Ilznidiotic The art was based of Jim Lee's X-Men comic run from X-Men #1

Venom3254 No, the character designs were based off Jim Lee's work. The art had none of his cross-hatching or intricate linework. It was cheap, sweatshop work designed to meet deadlines. And, yeah, you can say that about most major cartoon art to one degree or another, but I always found X-Men to be particularly egregious.

those are the best two arcs in my opinion. cris claremont era.

+BeefPapa agreed...I'm looking forward to seeing him at NYCC this year

Really? Turn Madeline Pryor into a villain so Scott Summers' abandoning his wife and child isn't so bad?

hello im new. can u give me information about inferno and fall of the mutans? what time is it? i need year. i googled it. theres so many versions. inferno like 2015 1996 and 1986.

Truth.

+Marcos Kain I agree with their top 2. Dark Phoenix and Days of Future Past are not only my favorite x men comics, but two of my favorite comics ever.

I meant actually not acutely.

Just because something sold a lot of copies doesn't mean it was good. Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man 1, for example. No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

those times had critical acclaim as well it just had the sales to match.....xmen in the 2000s has a much more mixed reception and the sales are obviously not what they used to be for many reasons

Nah Apocalypse from Evolution voice was better more badass so badass that the only way they beat him was to cause he to be lost in time in space

De'lahn Day Either way..or either voice is better then what we got.

Yeah... that whole movie was disappointing. Actually, the whole damn franchise

the whole apocalypse character in the new movie was trash all together.like come on we live in a day an age where that can be done , DAM YOU FOX STUDIOS AN UR RUSH JOBS!!!

nah evo's apocalypse sounded like a robot xmen tas was way better and more expressive and has way more quotables and closer to the comics.

on other hand.... X-MEN(10 MOVIES SO FAR)-4.997 BILLION $$$ and gng ....7th highest grossing movie franchise of all time.....still there are 3 movies planned next year... New mutants(x men horror movie) www.comicbookmovie.com/x-men/new_mutants/new-mutants-director-stars-announce-the-end-of-principal-photography-a153879 Deadpool 2 Dark phoenix saga.... plus x men slate confirmed proj so far(fox has released 6 untitled marvel proj release dates those dates n proj are suggested to be these confirmed proj by fox which does nt have assigned release dates) collider.com/fox-marvel-movie-release-dates/ -new mutants sequels(as josh boone pitched this movie as trilogy) -dark phoenix sequel(olvia munn confirm DP is a two parter movie) -x-force -deadpool 3 -cable spin off movie(as brolin signed fr a 4 pic x-men deal) -Gambit(back in development) www.denofgeek.com/uk/movies/gambit/52467/gambit-gore-verbinski-in-talks-to-direct -untitled x men project(X MEN:MESSIAH COMPLEX??????) x-men projects tht are under consideration -alpha flight -exiles -Star jammers

gutz1981 That and Age of Apocalypse were my favorites in the 90s. The X-Men #25 panel with Wolverine losing his adamantium will forever be burned into my mind.

Well Tony Stark is a tech genius so he would put some kind defensive program to protect his Iron Man armor from Magneto’s powers.

It’s still a good read.

Not all of them

+Josh Nkwonta Some are actually pretty good

Buwa ka pala ng ina mo eh. Edi wag ka manood tangina mo. Palibhasa mga gaya mo na sunod ang layaw na puting pakiram eh alam ang lahat mga walang kwentang tao. Pokpok naman mga ina niyo.

Tsaka pucha wag ka manood dito kung ayaw mo yung mga video. Tangina. Ginaya mo pa pangalan ni Batman eh hinayupak ka shoke ka naman.

+sigfrid “whokilledsigfrid” monte Laik if yhu agree!

I guess we can't expect a "Best Fantastic Four Stories" video from WatchMojo if they thought Days of Future Past marked the introduction of Franklin Richards.

Stiffkittens They get it from Wikipedia. 99% sure these people don’t read comics.

Diggy22 I really liked Phalanx Covenant!

Well Logan was pretty phenomenal

@@zaynrivers7433 agreed. Masterpiece

It became its own timeline when the main one got restored. Everything continued after Apocalypse was destroyed.

Nah AoA actually replaced the main 616 continuity (after 616 was completely erased) for that amount of time, until the main one was restored, so AoA was an alternate timeline since the beginning.

Captain Jakemerica The next movie will be set in the 1990s and it will be about The Dark Phoenix Saga.

no way. You might like those two I adore fatal attraction myself but...even I admit if you were to make a top ten best x-men ever don't think they would be on it. There is just too many good x-stories out there. Yeah the video list included mini series and single issues not just crossover events like fatal attractions so there is like literally hundreds of stuff to choose from. I would put fatal attractions maybe in my top 20. But not X executioners song.

why is getting rid of kitty and kurt a good thing?

nightcrawler and kitty pryde are great superheroes

Agree 100%. The second key turning point in X-Men history after 2nd Genesis. That said, you forgot: 1. the elevation of Caliban to a significant supporting role 2.removal of Colossus alongside Kurt and Kitty (good because it led to Excalibur which allowed all h3 to develop much further as characters) 3. further cleared out a rather tired line-up (following Cyclops, Xavier & Rachel leaving) 4. (Or 3a) set the stage for the return and development of Havok, along with the return of Dazzler and the arrival of Longshot

Why would you wanna get rid of nightcrawler? I can't think of a good reason someone would wanna get rid of nightcrawler. This person wants to get rid of nightcrawler. Can some one please tell me why he wants to get rid of nightcrawler?

PhoenixPsilence Just like in the movie Days Of Future Past.

I forgot about Inferno and X-tinction Agenda!

The Mutant Massacre. How that story line hasn't been made into a movie is beyond me, unless they think it would just be too violent to make. It was the best story line, by far.

00Noodles It's actually the first X-Men story I read. I think the first issue in the series came out during Marvel's 20th Anniversary. The cover had that cool border with all Marvel Hero head shots. Instantly fell in love with Wolvie and Colossus!

Small world. It was the first comic book I ever picked up. What a time to jump in. I was hooked. I read other comics, but X-men has always been my favorite and that story line was....honestly, to good to be kept to just a comic book. I really hope someone comes to their senses and makes it into a movie. I'm with you on Wolverine and Colossus...fastball special! I really enjoyed the Wolverine, Kitty story line in Japan as well. It was great writing and art work. If you never got to read it, track it down.

it would be the perfect xmen story imo to tell it is violent but its real and true to the themes of the xmen if fox made deadpool mutant masscare shouldn't be an issue but your never know I don't know if marvel studios would have the stomach for a movie like that either as its not kid friendly.

Adrian Castro hated what they did to bishop

Loved Messiah Complex, but loved Second Coming even more

Why is no one mentioning Messiah War? That story was amazing

I have that trade paperback, and I loved that story arc from the 80s. It's another storyline that still affects the X-Men many years later.

Nor should it be. I can probably think of at least 25 storylines that are better.

House of M is the most insane comic I've ever read

Sezer Arslan DUDE......I'm so sorry if miss spell the title of House of M?
