    Pretty much can't remember ever enjoying an X-Men comic... Be interested to hear of any worthwhile arcs.

    Some good x men runs are Grant Morrison, Joss Whedon and Mike Carey.

    In terms of spin off x-men stuff I enjoyed Exiles by Judd Winick, The new magneto book by Cullen and Wolverine by Jason Aaron.

    I hope Marvel rumored plans for the x-men books don't come through.

    I'd pretty much read anything by Jason Aaron. Currently reading Peter David's X-Factor after seeing it highly recommended on here and it's absolutely top quality.

    The PAD X Factor run was great. A few bumps but overall he told the stories he wanted to.

    I've been playing catch up on books the last year. Found the schism to be silly but enjoyed what came out of it. And have loved every Cyclops vs "good guy" stand off.

    Plus they've been doing some crazy ass stuff between past and future teams popping in. Powers being messed up and of course the phoenix Five.
    And Axis as a plot i have no idea how it got Green lit.

    Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender is pretty great bar the "otherworld" volume.

    I don't know how easy they are to come by these days since the line has ended but you could just try the Essential X-Men books which covers Chris Claremont's 1975-1991 run and read upwards (if you don't mind their being black and white)?

    Not to be confused with Essential CLassic X-Men which is the original 1960s stuff.

    The Epic Collections will presumably tackle it all as well but they don't get published in order.

    I think my favorite of the the X-events is probably X-Tinction Agenda.

    Possibly the first big one I read on the X Books. And it really seemed like they where fecked entirely.
