But about two years ago, I decided to compile the entire run and give it a shot. Re-reading #1 was a big part of my decision to read the entire series. The issue definitely has its flaws, but I think it's a really fun experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940496855754297188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-86126676019407466152011-10-06T14:27:17.967-04:002011-10-06T14:27:17.967-04:00Thank you for these!

Hm. <br /><br />I never got the impression that all the changes in the world were because Cyclops died and Alex replaced him. There was just too much going on for it to have been as simple as say the Age of Apocalypse. I figured there was some bigger divergence earlier that was important to the world, but not to the characters or readers.Adam Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886013836509986780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-43421971284248160652011-10-05T16:22:20.086-04:002011-10-05T16:22:20.086-04:00The X-Axis is on archive.org.

I have tried Google searching for X-Axis and it has been taken down and I can't find any of his reviews.

It was, strangely, an early launching pad for two eventually pretty good artists, Raney and, later, Cary Nord (who looks like a completely different artist than when he later does Busiek's <i>Conan</i>).kerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-11111983838665979202011-10-04T19:44:23.934-04:002011-10-04T19:44:23.934-04:00Thank you!Thank you!dschonbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459722690434474229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-2529595802881074052011-10-04T19:33:54.407-04:002011-10-04T19:33:54.407-04:00Starts out better than X-Factor?
