I tried reading this years ago, but it didn’t stick. I’m in the middle of a major X-Men kick, so this time it was much easier to get into. The overuse of narration is still a chore at times, but I enjoyed seeing the origins of these characters. Even though I have read quite a few issues featuring these X-men, I haven’t read any issues where they are together, and they make for an interesting team. I also found that most of the twists and reveals had not been spoiled for me and still worked, including a big death in the prelude chapters that I did not see coming. I’m also a big fan of Chris Bachalo, and it was very cool to see his style beginning to look more recognizable than it did in Shade and Death.

I had forgotten how incestuous interlinked all the X-titles were (are?). And why I stopped reading them after the Age of Apocalypse event. And why I never got into Generation X. The only reason I read this is because M is in the new Uncanny X-Men run and I'd forgotten her backstory. Not that this really did anything to clear that up, so I guess I'll be reading more of this series (thank god for Marvel Unlimited) after I cleanse my brain with some Avengers or Iron Man graphic novels. Or a book-book? Not like I don't have enough of them on my bookshelves...

It would be impossible for this to be more 90s, but I like that it has it's own identity within the X-Men mythos. You do you Generation X!
