Where in the X-Men comics should I begin to read?

Question

I really liked the X-Men movies that I've seen, and I would like to start reading the comics. The problem is that I have no clue where to begin. Is Logan in the story from the beginning? What series should I start with? Which comics have different characters? (I would like to avoid those that are irrelevant to the main story.) Also, if there is a site where I can read the scans for free, please suggest it. Thank you.

Answer 1

Actually, you probably wouldn't have been able to read it from the begining even if you wanted to. The comic book started at the sixties, and the main titles is now at about issue 550. There are many smaller titles, such as X Factor, X Force, X Men Legacy, Wolverine, Generation Hope, etc, etc.



But please, don't let it scare you. I eman, not everyone started from the very first issue, and not everything that happened in the past is very important to the plot. I'd start by reading a bit on Wikipedia or TVTropes, and being up to date. Here are the essential things: Jean Gery has been dead for the past (real life) seven years, The Scarlet Witch (Magneto's daughter) changed to world so most mutants were depowered to regular people, leaving only about 200 mutants left in the entire world. A few mutants and former mutants opened their own investigation for hire group and called it "X Factor", and they star in their own book, X Factor. There's an X Men black ops team that is more violent, but essentially works on the same side as the X Men, they're called "X Force" and they star at their own book, too. The youngest, newest members of the X Men also have their own title- New Mutants, and the main title, the one that was published since the sixties, is called Uncanny X Men.



I'd recomend you start with an event, as the X Men usually have their own events that do not involve the rest of the Marvel Universe. Look up Messiah Complex and start from there.

Answer 2

I really love new mutants, and no Logan is not in the original X-men story and came much later. The comics started off with Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel and Jean Grey. That's the original team.



If you have an IOS device, then I suggest you download the marvel comics app to get your hands on the very first issue of the x men.

i does not initiate from the start beginning because of fact the early days with Cyclops Iceman beast angel and Jean gray are distinctive from the stuff interior the flicks, i could pass decrease back and study those somewhat later. i could initiate with thoughts that are fan favorites and theory-approximately to be defining thoughts. i locate while i choose to get right into a clean comedian sequence, examining each thing from the start (from the necessities) is fairly tiring and boring, your talking 40 years of comics. i locate it greater ideal to study many of the main thoughts first those gets my activity and make me choose to study different thoughts from that era. i choose to advise thoughts from the Claremont Bryne era this variety of dark phoenix and days of destiny previous, and any thoughts for the time of that era. beginning with 2d Genesis that introduces the "new" x-adult adult males (introducing typhoon, wolverine and Nightcrawler between others). And God loves guy kills which the 2d action picture became into loosely according to. For greater cutting-side thoughts i could advise examining the thoughts that set up a clean sequence then you could % to study greater of the sequence in case you like to or in basic terms study the substantial thoughts indexed bellow.
