I'm not a fan of the modern stuff from X-Men. I lost interest in X-Men around 98 outside of the movies and Evolution, and every time I thought it might be cool to get back into it, something made me change my mind. I don't like the idea of Scott being a villain. Nor his being married to Emma. I don't like the whole thing about there being only like 100 mutants left. I also don't like Prof X being dead for the fourth time. That ship sailed.

I've been really enjoyed the stuff I've been reading this month from the 80s and I want to read the entire run Claremont did along with what I loved in the 90s with X-Cutioner's Song and stuff. Actually, I think I quit the books just before Onslaught came into play.

These are actually the first two Omnibuses I have ever owned that are in hard cover and they are awesome. I love all of the extra goodies they give you in them, especially with the Claremont volume having even the letters page in it. That was unexpected and something I never thought I would see done. I know they are rereleasing Volume 2 later on this year and Volume 3 just came out, but I really hope there is a fourth volume at some point.

I can't wait to read the stuff before the Dark Phoenix Saga, but first, I need to finish Fall of the Mutants. I have one issue of X-Factor to read along with the side stories that deal with the Four Horsemen.

I'm pretty much trying to stick with the Epic Collections for everything else. They have been great because I get a ton of stories be it a major storyline or stand alones, which is great since I'm tired of trades just collecting some major event and then being done with it. Unfortunately, they haven't done the clone saga for Spider-Man yet.
