X-Men Poll #2: Which Run/Era Was Your Favorite?

[BrodietheSlayer]

Now the opposite deal from the last poll. Which of these runs/eras was your favorite? I'd have to say Byrne/Claremont for me, although, the Paul Smith brief era (which I made its own choice) comes a very close second.





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 (End of Claremont run): UXM 265-280, XM 1-11 (1990-92)


Lobdell/Nicieza (Bit of Waid): UXM-280-350, XM 12-69 (Lobdell 92-97 Nicieza 92-95 Waid 96)


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 (and 3rd Claremont run): 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, ?

It's still Claremont/Byrne.

And like I said in the other one, their run is either what everything later built on or reacted to; it's definitive.

[Duke Cameron]

All New, All Different

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

Once more, Byrne/Claremont. Just some classic storylines during that era.

Hopefully nobody says Chuck Austin, his run on Uncanny X-Men is basically the lowest f***ing point in the entire franchise.

I voted Jim Lee since that's the earliest I remember reading my sister's comics. She had issues from JRJR and Silvestri issues too.

But I think Joe Maduereira deserves to share a separate slot with Scott Lobdell. He became a bid deal with his manga style and I dug it.

I had high hopes for Kelly/Seagle. I feel they were undercut and weren't allowed to reach their potential. I have some of Seagle's Alpha Flight run and I think it's pretty good.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Paul Smith,for me while Bryne was good on X-men the best of that series happened after he left.

[Mackenzie Gorn]

Aussie period all day!
LONGSHOT 4 LYFE!

It's hard for me to vote, so I won't.

I like/love anything from the Chris Claremont era which covers a bunch of these options. However, the 90's X-Men comics from Scott Lobdell are what I grew up on initially, so I have a soft spot for stuff like Fatal Attraction, Onslaught, Age Of Apocalypse, etc.

I think the only stuff I flat out don't like is the current era. Once Grant Morrison left New X-Men and Mike Allred left X-Statix, that was pretty much the end of my X-Men comic fandom.

For me, Morrison was a mixed bag. I liked what he did with Emma Frost a lot, and how he toned down the by that point obnoxious rivalry between Scott and Logan. But, then you've got really dumb crap like Xorn, Beak, Beast turning into a cat. As with most Grant Morrison stuff, I felt like he got carried away with his own weird stuff and strayed too far away from the property he was working on.

I feel the same way. I'm actually not a fan of Morrison at all, he's one of my least favorite comic writers. I just meant that the "era" of X-Men that he wrote during was the end for me.
