I liked Cockrum's Nightcrawler a lot more early on before they made him cute.

I managed to make it to X-Men #200, but when Magneto joined, that was enough for me.
Once Paul Smith left, I lost a lot of interest in the book (although it was more from the writing than the art).

(Ahem, I said thread drift Alert! So drift already! What? I don't control the
threads around here?)I have eternal respect for Cockrum's Nightcrawler, but I find that JB refined
nearly every Nightcrawler gag (transportation, transparency,
humor/seriousness). I found JB's had more finesse. To me, Cockrum's Nightcrawler has a more natural swagger/inner-
swashbuckler. For that, I have to agree that his is the definitive item even
tho I'm partial to JB's.

My last issue of X-Men was #340. After a few really big crossovers--Age of Apocalypse and Onslaught--the team roster was changing over too fast and frequently, and I realized that you needed a subscription to Wizard to keep track of why any changes were happening.
I've bought off and on since then, and the Grant Morrison run (adjectiveless X-Men) and Joss Whedon run (Astonishing X-Men) are the only runs that I stuck with from beginning to end.

Can anyone remember their last issue of the X-Men? I finished the first time with Paul smith in issue 175. Drifted back in for the Asgard annuals, then Jim Lee's run, then there was a huge gap and I came back for the first year of Brubaker's run, dropped out again and picked run Fraction's run before dropping it with issue 525 after months of the title treading water.

Reviewing an online X-Men cover gallery, I definitely bought a bunch of the Cockrum issues after JB left. I was initially excited for his return as I had some of his previous issues. But the stories were absolutely dreadful and although I bought the issues, I didn't finish reading his run. I never returned to the series after that except for an issue here or there, so for me the series is defined by JB and Dave Cockrum.

Al, if there was a series starring those guys, I'd never miss an episode.

Amazing how well Animal works as Wolverine! (And they even did the hair better than the movies!)

Can anyone remember their last issue of the X-Men? ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- I dropped the X-Books in the 90's when Colossus turned on the team. I came back a few months before Whedon's Astonishing to read the Claremont/Davis issues. I dropped Uncanny again last year after struggling through it for the last few years. To me the X-Men are a team, not a nation. I dropped Astonishing after the first Ellis issue. I will get Astonishing again when Christos Gage is writing it though and I will probably pick up any Colossus/Kitty centric story like the one in Uncanny right now.
