This is not asking what your favorite era was. This is simply asking which era did you start reading the book in. I, for instance, came in during Dave Cockrum's second run on the book (81-82), so, that's kind of the team I most fondly remember. I'm interested to hear yours, including your first X-Men comic. Mine was #148. Original Team: UXM 1-55 (1963-69) Neal Adams: UXM 56-end of the original team's run. (1969-74) All New, All Different (1st Cockrum): UXM Giant Size 1-107 (1975-77) Byrne/Claremont: UXM 108-143 (1977-81) 2nd Cockrum/Paul Smith: UXM 144-175 (1981-83) John Romita Jr.: UXM 175-213 (1983-87) Australian Period (Marc Silvestri): UXM 214-264 (1987-90) Jim Lee: UXM 265-280, XM 1-11 (1990-92) Lobdell/Nicieza: UXM-280-350, XM 12-69 (Lobdell 92-97 Nicieza 92-95) Kelly/Segeal/Alan Davis: UXM 351-380, XM 70-99 (1997-2000) Claremont's 2nd run: UXM 381-393, XM 100-113) (2000-01) Morrison: NXM 114-154, UXM 394-436) (2001-04) Whedon: AXM 1-24, Giant Sized AXM #1, UXM 437-474, XM 155-187 (2004-07/8) Brubaker/Fraction: UXM 375-534, XM 188-259 (2008-2011) Beyond that....you guys are on your own. I know Bendis wrote the book for a while....otherwise, ?

Somewhere between the X-Men arcade game, the Fox animated series, the Claremont reprints, and Jim Lee's X-Men #1.

Been reading X-Men forever but Whedon seems to be the team that I think about when I picture them. Plus it's probably my favorite X-men run as well. (Wolverine and the X-men my 2nd favorite)

Any X-Men team that doesn't include Videoman isn't a real X-Men team.

My first X-Men comic was #129, which introduced Kitty Pride, so gonna say the Claremont/Byrne era.

My first exposure to the X-Men were back issues of the Claremont/Byrne run I got for a dime apiece at a local flea market.

Well, if it's when I started reading the comic, it'd be Whedon's Astonishing run. But really, the old Fox X-Men cartoon is what I grew up on.

My first issue was the final Dark Phoenix chapter, but at the time, I had no knowledge of the team outside of that one issue so it made zero sense to me. My next issue would be #191, part of a Kulan Gath alternate reality trip, so again, no context and I was out of the loop. Couple of months later, #193 dropped and that one finally grabbed me. A great entry point for new readers. Fell back out of reading it right before Fall of the Mutants, came back just for the Inferno issues, and didn't come back until the issues right before the Jim Lee/Portacio relaunches, stayed with it until right before Onslaught and haven't been a regular since.

Jim Lee Era. First issues I bought were Uncanny #280 and X-Factor #70, which were right before X-Men #1 hit. Reboots be damned, there's only one X-Men Blue team and they'll always be my jawn.

Sometime around the tail end of the Jim Lee era. The animated series on Fox had just premiered.

When I think of the Xmen the first image I conjure up is a mishmash probably due to videogames/cartoons/movies and memory loss: Wolverine, Gambit, Beast, Storm, Jean Gray, Cyclops, Jubilee, Colossus and Prof X

This thread just tells me that I stopped reading comics at the right time. My first issue was the final Dark Phoenix chapter, but at the time, I had no knowledge of the team outside of that one issue so it made zero sense to me. My next issue would be #191, part of a Kulan Gath alternate reality trip, so again, no context and I was out of the loop. Couple of months later, #193 dropped and that one finally grabbed me. A great entry point for new readers. Fell back out of reading it right before Fall of the Mutants, came back just for the Inferno issues, and didn't come back until the issues right before the Jim Lee/Portacio relaunches, stayed with it until right before Onslaught and haven't been a regular since. I was on board with all this, except in a different order. I started reading during the Lee/Portacio period and gradually sought back issues as I became more familiar with the franchise (I desperately wanted X-tinction Agenda and Inferno). Then I quit sometime between Age of Apocalypse and Onslaught. The price of comics jumped at the time since Marvel started printing on glossy stock. And it didn't help that a bunch of artists took a break after AOP and the fill-in artists' work didn't appeal to me.
