I've never heard that. It's mostly an attempt to breath new life into a comic that was floundering and once he left they let Whedon do a back to basics story.

Not really. It pushed the franchise forward, so of course Marvel immediately had to fuck it up by reversing as much as possible of it after Morrison left.

More like a satire/deconstruction of all the stale boring stuff that previous writers regurgitated over and over while Morrison adds some of his own touches.
Anyway, if you wanna get into X-Men, you gotta read Claremont, start with Giant Size X-Men #1, followed by X-Men #94 and so on.
You can skip anything not written by Claremont, desu, especially in preparation for Morrison's run.

>what's the ideal reading list before getting into it?
Nothing really specific, you could read those First Class comics and the Claremont stuff. But if you've just seen the movies or watched the cartoons that'd be enough as well.

w-why does Emma have a bulge?

>>93195856
That's her secondary mutation

>>93195856
Morrison is into futa.

>>93195856

She's got a massive clit.

>>93195856
Because Quitely draws lumpy potato people.

>>93194364
start with Giant-Sized X-Men then keep going in release order. it only takes a couple afternoons since comics can be read so quickly

Morrison did more damage to the franchise than Austen
