I'm going through the X-Men before Disney/MCU fucks it up by integrating mutants into the franchise and I decided to start with Immortal X-Men. It's a good fun, but I keep getting derailed by allusions to events that've happened in other comic series.

Thank god I can access these for free, but how tedious is it to find cohesive stories. I know I'm seeking that in comics, but still.

I really like the X-Men as a series too. From the origins to the way they interact with other 'heroic' characters in Marvel.

Fun bit of trivia on the X-Men - when making action figures, human-shaped dolls fell (and mighs till fall) under a different tax bracket than, say, non-human creatures or monsters. To save money on that taxation, Marvel argued that mutants were not human and so shouldn't have the tax applied to them. It's a fact that capitalism dehumanizes people, but rarely do you such a hilariously bleak example of it.

Also, who's your favorite on the X-Men roster?

Mine's Rogue.
