Uncanny X-Men Comics in general

The Uncanny X-Men is a great collection of comic's. The X-Men is mainly about Professor Xavier and his X-Men fighting all sorts of problems from bad mutants to anti mutant groups. At the moment there are 500+ comics in the series with many off shoot's, separate graphics novels and spin off's. This collection of comic's is so vast but can be read on marvels digital comic service, http://marvel.com/digitalcomics/ . There are so many so it makes it impossible to buy and read them all.

This is a review of Ultimate X-men issue 1 but there was no group for it so I am placing it under Uncanny X-men. This has got to be one of the best first issues ever and like spider-girl the key lies in nostalgia and the transportation of characters you know well to different situations ala Elseworlds and What If.
