how much x-men do you know? do you have a free trial to marvel unlimited?

Grand Design is a 6 issue miniseries that covers a LOT of the x-men history and you'll enjoy that

if you want a lot more to read - i would also read a few bits from other x-teams:

-demon bear saga & zeb wells' new mutants

-generation x 1-11

-peter david's x-factor 1-13

-the further adventures of cyclops & phoenix: the origin of mr sinister

I'm not really a fan of X-Men Grand Design art, but it is definitely a way to catch up on all the important bits since Giant Sized X-Men.

Lot faster than reading Essentials.

if you really think that anything from the X-Men history is going to be forgotten when Jonathan Hickman is writing the story, you're in for a surprise

Just like he used Malice in his Fantastic Four run?

Some stuff is just meant to be forgotten. Evan is a product of the referential stuff that Hickman says he's wanting to move past. You might see him in a panel background but he's likely the type of character whose redundancy will make him a thing of the past.

I... guess this ties into that Apocalypse-looking Moira on one of the covers?

I have no idea where Hickman is going with this

Going to also point out that we're getting a Weapon Plus one-shot the week before House #1 and Charles is currently in the body of Fantomex.

The evidence is there, folks. I can feel it.

I would love to go back and just start plowing through X-Men, but practically all my floppies are in storage and I'm pretty sure my wife would murder me if I got them out as we're getting ready to list our house. :/

Just speculation, but I think it makes a lot of sense. Reconciles both the "X-Universe" and "secret history" aspects without using alternate reality or time travel. It's totally a Hickman move, too. I'm so hyped.

damnit you might be onto something

i am reading Carey's run now, just got done with X-Factor & Generation X for Monet ... might have to squeeze in select New X-Men trades

anyone remember which books / issues comprise that aspect in Morrison's run?

Hickman using that is similar to the Council of Reeds making their own place in between the universes so I can see it happening.

My reading has taken a bunch of roads, but I am into the mutant life DEEP.

-Re-read some Morrison New X-Men
-Wrapping up the first few trades of Generation X, with Wood TPB to follow
-Read some Claremont Excalibur
-Apocalypse vs Dracula was some dumb fun
-Finishing second trade of Exiles. Might read Ahmed's run after.

Need to figure out if I should pick Carey's run back up now or wait til I'm on vacation next month and read it on the beach
