Haven’t read this series in awhile, but an absolute pleasure to return to. I love the characters a lot and it makes me want to read more x-men so that’s good

Only read it for the Cloak and Dagger story. That was really good though.

Ooh, now things are getting crazy. I can't decide if the writing changed to meet the weird art, or if the art is so powerful that it makes everything else seems weird. Whatever it is, it's working.

It is hard to deny the impact of this run. The combination of Claremont and Sienkievich seemed to bring out the best in both artists and a book that was a solid character plotter suddenly jacked into 5th gear and began to try to completely deconstruct and reinvent comics as a form.
It doesn't always succeed, but the sheer willingness to try everything is exhilarating in a way that comics rarely were in that period.
