sinister!! gimme some good x-men arcs to read
Ah, my friend. This question pre-supposes that there are any objectively good X-Men arcs to read! 😂
There are arcs that I could recommend to you, but it wouldn’t be because they’re good. Frankly, all of the “best” X-Men arcs have some kind of large negative or squicky element to them that makes me hesitate to recommend them.
Just for starters, absolutely everything by the single best X-Men author (Chris Claremont) is half disguised fetish material that comes off very badly in the current fandom environment.
If you want to *read* X-Men comics– and don’t get me wrong, I think you should read X-Men comics!– the best idea is to pick a particular character or set of characters that you’re interested in and follow their most significant arcs in the comics.
In fact, if you want to come back to me with this question about a particular character or characters, I will absolutely be able to recommend you arcs to read! (Please do this XD)
If you want the best “X-men as a team”/“X-Men as a whole” experience, on the other hand, I genuinely think the cartoons (the original 90s X-Men first season, X-Men Evolution, and Wolverine and the X-Men) do a much better job of conveying that experience.
