Turns out the original X-Men adventures are simply not very good.
There are a few fun discoveries as a fan of what the series becomes, like Asteroid M showing up within the first five issues. But for the most part these are the most predictable kind of superhero tripe.
Gets three stars for some beautiful Jack Kirby panels alone.

Super early, very corny, but cool enough. Just not masterful storytelling by any means. Happy to be moving beyond this phase of graphic novel history lol

The peak of this collection of the early X-Men comics is definitely the three-part arc which introduces the Sentinels. While it can be a bit repetitive and verbose, it's worth going back to see how the X-Men started out.
