Alright so I’m getting back into comic books. The last comics I remember buying was XMen Alpha/Omega. I think I was around 19(34 now )

I’ve tried reading from time to time on here to get back in, and the last I remember was Cyclops became some killer rebel or something

Anyway, today I went to a comic book store and bought ‘All New Inhumans #1 n #2. I saw there’s an ‘IvX’ series. Is that worth checking out (starting at ‘Death of X’?)

I mainly read X-Men, Spider-Man, and dabbled in Spawn and Violator comics.

Any help towards some good story arcs (XMen/SpiderMan.....or anything else) to jump in on would be greatly appreciated

Edit: I saw X-men red blue green yellow gold sliver brown...etc ( exaggerating lol)

Should I pick those books up?

I was kind of in a similar position a few years ago. Stopped reading on a regular basis around 2001/2002 and started again somewhat in 2007 but didn't get back full time into comics until 2012. A lot of X-Men stuff hasn't been that great IMO. A lot of people praise Grant Morrison's run in the early 2000's but I didn't like it.

Uncanny X-Force is pretty good(haven't read a lot of it but from what I've it's good). Most of the stuff released now is geared towards becoming a tradepaperback/graphic novel. Every five issues or so is geared towards some storyline.

IMO, X-Men been kind of aimless since Claremont left. I wonder how he would've wrapped up everything if he was given full control of the mutant books.

You didn't read xmen the end
That is how Claremont ends the xmen.

Christopher priest had some interesting stuff to say recently. I think this is a good read for anyone here who reads comics, wants to write comics, or loves comic movies

He is right , especially when he said the twitterverse doesn't read those books
