Hey Jen...

Rose and I spent some time (and money) in a Barnes & Noble earlier this evening... saw something in the graphic novel section that I can recommend as a good starter point for getting into comics.

Marvel Masterworks: Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 reprints Giant-Size X-Men #1, and Uncanny X-Men #s 94-100. GS X-Men #1 introduced the then-new X-Men, such as Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and others. Issues 94-100 featured the first stories of them as a team. Unfortunately it ends on a cliffhanger, but Vol. 2 is due out this month! ;)

I saw those today! There were so many that looked so similar, I got intimidated. But if you say it's a good place to start, I will at the least read it.

Thanks!

Excellent recommendation! BTW, I believe these same issues were also reprinted in Classic X-Men:

Classic X-Men renamed X-Men Classic with Issue #4

Also, Jen, there is a Spiderman version of Marvel Masterworks reprinting the earliest issues of that as well:

Spider-Man (Marvel Masterworks, Volume 1)
