    I don’t know how newer, younger readers view Uncanny Vol 1 (& 2) but to me they are unsurpassable. I guess it’s part nostalgia but I’ve read New and Astonishing and whilst I absolutely loved the latter (art is amazing), the feel of those earlier 2 volumes can’t be beaten. Enjoyed the start of New, and there’s some great ideas in there, but some of the later art was so ugly I just couldn’t get past it. Haven’t read HOX/POX yet

    Great to hear your opinions on all of these. I started reading silver age X-Men first and in moderate chunks I was able to find it enjoyable, but definitely not the strongest silver age comics. I totally understand that its not for everyone but seeing the beginnings was really fascinating to me. Waiting on the Uncanny X-Men vol.2 reprint to continue my x men reading! Hoping for the Krakoa era to be collected in omnibus format sooner than later as well!
