I wanted to get started with X-Men at the beginning of Claremont's run cause i heard its the best thing ever. I've got two series' saved called "Classic X-Men" and "Uncanny X-Men" starting at #94

What im confused about is that they both start with the same story with the first X-Men needing to be rescued on Krakoa but the contents of the story are different. Classic starts with pic related while Uncanny 94 starts right on Nightcrawlers introduction

Which one am i supposed to read?

classic is just reprints for faggots in the 90s without the internet

The first story in classic x-men is a reprint of Giant Size X-Men 1, which wasn't actually by Claremont but introduces the team his run starts with.

Classic X-Men also includes back-up stories that fill in some of the blanks between issues, so you're best of reading classic x-men rather than the originals.

So scenes like this weren't in the original?

yeah, that's a later addition. In the original stories Jean barely had any personal interaction with Logan, so this new story was added to help smooth out the problems when he finally had the two hook up (which he didn't get around to writing before he quit the series)

Giant Sized THEN Uncanny #94?

yes, giant size x-men 1 is a one-off introducing the new team, uncanny 94 continues on from that issue.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what happens before 94? Is it important or at least worth reading?

Even though youre not me, the OP, I'd like to know that too. Also want to ask till what issue of Uncanny does Classic adapt?

The original run of the X-Men is issues 1-66. It's not especially memorable nor particularly good, and it wasn't very popular. The series was essentially cancelled after issue 66 and issues 67-93 were just reprints of old stories.

It reprints uncanny x-men up to issue 138 with included extras, and then after that it continues to reprint the series up to uncanny x-men 206 as they were originally published, with no new backup stories.

Thanks, I got what I needed.

Proceed to have an X-Men Then vs X-Men Now thread.

X-Men Classic back ups are great because you get experienced Claremont from later in his X-Run getting to do these stories from the fun era.
