So, I'm about half way through this on Netflix and I'm really enjoying it. I actually like it better than the original X-Men series I grew up with in the 90's. It's a shame it only lasted one season.

I'm a big fan of the 90's series and X-Men evolution. The reason I didn't follow this series (and may be it's just me) is the title. I mean, I like Wolverine as an X-Man, in a team, lead by Proffessor X or Cyclops but why should he get top billing on a show about the X-Men? I know ratings/what's in a name but it just rubbed me the wrong way. May be the series was good though.

Professor X is in a coma and Cyclops is battling severe depression because Jean Grey is missing. The X-Men fall apart after the explosion that causes these two things, and Logan puts the team back together. That's why.

James/Logan is not exactly a natural leader so him having to be the head honcho might make for good stories. Is Storm in it?

Yes and No, She is but not till like... the last half of the show or so? The team they work with usually is Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Emma Frost, Forge sometimes, and Rogue sometimes.

I might give it a chance then. I mean if Storm was around from the start she would be the leader of course. I wonder what animated Emma Frost is like, in general she's just a bitch *no offense to fans of the character*.

I picked up the complete series on Blu-ray for only $10 at Kmart, having only seen the first 4 or 5 episodes before. After watching the whole series, I can definitely say I enjoyed the show. It's a shame it only lasted 26 episodes, though...

Loved the show...with the exception of the Psylocke episode and being the fan of the character that I am they obviously had NO idea how she works...atleast the 90's X-men got this right.
Outside of that I was enjoying it...sucked so much ass it got cancelled out of nowhere..samething with x-men evolution being cancelled and being left with those glimpses of what was to come..phoenix , grown up x-men etc.

Oh yeah - I enjoyed that one.
That and GI Renegades were two shows that I wanted to see more episodes of, but got canceled after one season.
