Due to not having an allowance as a kid, I have no idea who these older X-Men characters were. My introduction to them was the TV cartoon, which I've told is only partially faithful to the X-Men storyline.
One thing I can't stand about the really big-name comic books (X-Men, Superman, Spiderman, Batman, etc., etc.) is the fact that so many hundreds of issues have passed without my getting a chance to read them, that it's almost impossible to get INTO them. =\ Back issues (especially the oldest ones) are expensive, and without them I won't have the needed background. I'm one of those people who will refuse to read a cool book if it's the second in a series; I'll wait and wait until book one is available before I open the cover of book two. Trouble with comics is, book two is everywhere and it looks REALLY cool, but there's no way to get all of book one.
The comic I like most is the Marvel Transformers comic, partially because I'm a Transformers nut, and partially because I started collecting it when it came out, so I have most of the older issues. ^_^ Plus, they're printing compilations, w00t!
Now, if they were willing to print compilations of the first 100 X-Men issues or so, I might be interested.

P.S. Back on topic, I saw X1 and it was an ok flick, don't know if I'll see X2.
