The team has a long, sprawling, and confusing history that's on the level of DC's Multiverse (and that's company wide!). Most significant for me is the continuity. Yet there's plenty to not love about the X-Men. What kid drawn to the world of nerdom doesn't find that easy to identify with? Mutants were not born out of the fears of the atomic era, they were just born and born different. For me, as I'm sure was the same for any generation before or after mine, the X-Men felt so fresh and different from all the other comic book characters out there. At that age, the fact that there were girls i that club was oddly fascinating. This was a bit before the 90's animated show came out, so to know the X-Men, who they were and what they're about, it was like being in a secret club. Who doesn't love the X-Men on some level? When I was in the third grade, I don't think there was anything that seemed cooler to me than the X-Men. However, roughly half of the books in the line for this month will not reach my local comic shop in time for my article, and which ones that have, well.the less said of them, the better. Observant followers of my comic articles here on the Fort will realize that I promised more coverage of Marvel's Point One line this month.
