I’m reading through X-Men chronologically and I’ve made it into the early 1990s. The long-term goal is to keep working my way into the 2000s, but with X-Men that means covering a LOT of comics along the way.

I’ve been reading three different sets of comics in parallel lately, which has been a lot, but it has also been going really well.

I recently started reading through Grimm Fairy Tales, and so far I’m loving it. I’m still working my way through the series, but it has definitely been a fun read so far.

The first 10 issues of Uncanny X-Men are the foundation era. Xavier's school, the original five, Magneto, the Brotherhood, and the early themes that would shape the series are all right here. Simple stories, but they worked.

The first 10 issues of Uncanny X-Men really feel like the foundation era of the series. This is where Xavier's school is established, the original five are put into place, Magneto becomes the central threat, and the Brotherhood starts takin...

Uncanny X-Men #10 stood out to me because of Ka-Zar, the Savage Land, and just how much the story throws into the mix. Seeing that setting introduced into the X-Men side of things gave the issue a very different feel, and Ka-Zar's appearanc...

Uncanny X-Men #9 was really interesting because you get the X-Men going up against the Avengers. Obviously the Avengers were holding back, but it was still fun seeing the X-Men stand toe-to-toe with them in their first real clash. What made...

Uncanny X-Men #8 is one I liked a lot, even if some of the Beast and team conflict felt a little out of character to me. Still, the Unus story worked, and I liked the way the comic handled the lesson he learned.

Uncanny X-Men #8 is one I still liked a lot, even though I do have one issue with it. The Unus story itself was very good, and I liked the way he ended up learning his lesson, at least within this comic. But some of the conflict involving B...

Uncanny X-Men #7 was another strong one for me because Blob comes back, and the whole situation plays out in a really interesting way. Seeing him around Xavier and the mutants, and then watching him turn against them at the end because they...

Uncanny X-Men #6 is a really interesting early issue because it brings Namor into the X-Men's orbit. Xavier wanting Namor as an ally and the story exploring whether Namor might actually be a mutant made this one especially fun. What I liked...

Uncanny X-Men #5 kept building on what issue #4 started, but what stood out most to me here was Angel. Magneto capturing Angel led to a lot of character-focused material, and that's what made the issue work for me. It wasn't just about the...

If you have not tried Crimson Desert yet, I genuinely recommend giving it a shot. There is a lot to do, and so far it has felt worth every second.

A few bosses definitely have a learning curve, but none of them have stonewalled me for long. Most of the roughest stretches felt more like gear or refinement checks than impossible fights.

Crimson Desert keeps pulling me back in. The world feels huge, the pacing is slower than most games in this lane, and somehow that makes the whole thing hit even harder.

Uncanny X-Men #4 really levels things up. Magneto comes back, the Brotherhood forms, and suddenly the X-Men have a true opposing unit. That team-vs.-team structure worked extremely well.

That dynamic worked really well for me because it gave the X-Men a true opposing unit instead of just another random threat. You had the X-Men functioning as one team, the Brotherhood functioning as another, and that setup gave the story a...

Uncanny X-Men #4 is where things really start clicking in a bigger way. Magneto returns, and now you've got Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad forming the Brotherhood.

That part of the comic kept me fully locked in, because it made Xavier feel even more formidable than he already had. Between Blob's debut and the way Xavier was presented, this one really worked for me.

Uncanny X-Men #3 was a big one for me because it introduced the Blob, and that alone makes it memorable. What really grabbed me, though, was how much it showed the breadth of Professor Xavier's power at the time.
