The X-Men are probably my second favorite long-form story (after Sailor Moon). And Sailor Moon is the foundation which allowed me to appreciate the X-Men comics when I read them during my undergraduate study. Most interestingly, I didn't watch The Animated Series or X-Men Evolution growing up. I happened to get roped into watching X2 during my freshman year of college which sparked a desire to learn as much as I could about the characters and their world.

Mostly it was the amazing, multi-dimensional portrayal of the characters, but most especially the female characters, that drew me in.

Jean Grey, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Rachel Grey, Dazzler, Psylocke, the diverse New Mutants squad, etc. I loved it all and wanted to read as much as I could.


In sum, are there any other fans of the X-Men around GC? I would love to discuss thoughts about the X-Men and your experiences with the franchise.
