Why is X-Men #1 the most important comic of all time? It is the best-selling comic in comics history, selling more than 8 million copies, and the second best-selling comics only came around 4 million.

The release X-men # 1 in late 1991 was also the time when X-Men has started to become more and more popular until the team became the biggest team in comics history, breaking records like the team having the most number of video games, having the most number of comic issues etc.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, comes a new edition of X-Men # 1 coming out this October 5, 2011 which is remastered, reimagined and recolored in modern style.

I actually have an original copy of that (yay i'm one of eight million). Dunno if i'd buy the new one, even with the touchups.

Edit: Damn, I just checked the preview. I dunno now.

I don't usually like CBR, but they're right about how these were the "real" X-Men for a lot of people. They don't make em like they used to.

Ya know, lookin' back, it never made sense to me why Magneto was just standin' there looking at us while 10+ X-Men just wailed on him.
