    :whatthe: Um... welcome to comics, I guess.

    GSX1 was the beginning of new X-Men stories after the title had been cancelled and then brought back and turned into a reprint title for years. Professor X recruited a bunch of (mostly new) mutants to rescue the original team. X-Men 94 was the first issue of the regular series to feature a new story since issue 66 and featured the formation of a new team out of the large group that ended up together at the end of GSX1.

    Sorry for so many questions, I think I am getting it a little bit. So like the GSX 1, 2 and so on are one adventure of mostly new mutant team, but the X-Men #94 is the same team but a more expansion on their adventures?

    I don't understand your confusion. The Classic X-Men series sequentially reprints the reborn X-Men title (starting with Giant-Size X-Men 1/X-Men 94). It's the same as reading the original issues, except some fill-in issues are skipped. There is also new material added, both as backup stories and interspersed throughout the regular stories. This is because many comics were down to a pathetic 17(!) story pages by the mid-late 70s and Classic was a regular length comic with no ads.

    I guess what's confusing me is that how is Giant-Size X-Men 1 connected to X-Men 94? I think that's pretty much what is not connecting in my brain

  3. So I am looking around the at the X-Men Classic series, but I am needing some help on understanding it. I understand that each comic is a reprint with a little more detail of a specific comic like the first issue is a reprint of Giant Sized #1 and issue two is a reprint of X-Men #94. My question though, does anybody know if these comics flow as their own individual mini-series, or since they are reprints of what I see as random comics does that mean they really don't mix together as a story going from issue to issue or do they? I attempted looking it up, but couldn't find much.

  4. For the Civil War Chronicles Comics, is that the same as just the regular civil war comics, maybe just rewritten a little bit. I'm trying to sort a whole bunch of comics so I can start reading them in a sort of type of order. But I am confused. If the Chronicles are just a separate from the regular civil war, does it come after like civil war vol. 2 or before vol. 1. Hope this makes sense and I submitted a pic of one of the comics. Thanks in advance!
