I full on hate feral Wolverine and the Onslaught storyline but fell deeply in love with Excalibur. 

I think most interestingly is the design aesthetic of the X-books became very uniform, with each title starting not with a splash, but a multipanel followed 2-3rd-page spread. I also started re-reading Namor and was gobsmacked how relevant the topics still are (perhaps more so) decades later. I also noticed a mental relief after the spastic busy-ness of the X-books art with the clarity of JB's work in Namor.

I sampled a DeMatteis/Zeck Spider-man mini-series and was completely lost, then realized I will be experiencing the whole clone thing shortly so that's super.

I don’t think I could endure such an experiment.  I’m not clear on why you are doing this, Robin - I can only assume you lost a bet, or you are serving a lengthy prison sentence with nothing but time on your hands.

To be frank, I am paying for the subscription and until now have essentially been re-reading 80's comics. When I decided to try and catch up on Hulk to the present, 2008 became a serious roadblock because I could not follow anything without reading everything Hulk related.

With that in mind, along with a serious need to decompress and take an hour before bed every night and not read twitter or play a game,  I started this wild task. 

It's been fun for the most part, especially to see how printing and coloring processes change and the dramatic effect Image had on the entirety of the Marvel line. It has also reignited a real itch to start drawing again, something I haven't done in over a decade.

FYI I completely skipped Heroes Reborn because I could care less about that 12 month period.
