X-Eras

Favorite era of X-Men comics?

I'm personally a fan of the 90s and early 2000s, but I also do like the more modern comics (i.e. X-Men Red, Phoenix Resurrection).

2001-2005 .

For favorite character bias, I am going with 90's, because my 3 favorite characters were all in their prime & mostly at their best there. Up to 2003 was ok, but some descent started with one of my favorites around that time. Then slowly my other 2 favorites fell off 2006+

Least favorite era for me is the one we've been in since 2004. lol

Deadpool, Wolverine, and Gambit all blew up in the 90s. So that's the era for me.

I like 2 eras a lot

the first one -From the beginning of the Byrne/Claremont run, to the resurrection of Jean-the end of Claremont writing New Mutants-the beginning of the crossovers.
It would be something like 1977 to 1986/87.

the other period I like a lot is from Morrison's New X-Men, to Avengers vs X-Men (although the quality of the books declined a lot already with Schism)
something like 2001-2012
my favorite part of that period was before M Day, when we had Morrison New X-Men, X-Force/X-Statix, Tieri's Weapon X, District X, and Extreme X-Men. Whedon's Astonishing also happens before M Day, even if the dates dont match up. I think that is the most different and unique period for x-men books (and that was why Marvel thought House of M had to happen, there were too many mutants, every big city had their own China town style mutant neighbourhood), there was mutant culture. I thought that was great.

After M Day, l liked Carey's X-Men Legacy and Pad's X-Factor most of all. And Gillen's Uncanny. I think Utopia was one of the best x-men locations. The new mutants reboot was also good. I find Remender quite overrated.

I find 90s x-men rather unintersting except for a few things like Hama Wolverine, Pad's X-Factor, the first 30 issues of Gen X, Age of Apocalypse, and I guess Kelly Deadpool if you consider it an x-book.

edit: a very obscure xmen 90s book I like is the 12 issues Maverick run (+ a one shot) from 1997/1998

2001-2010. Don't even know if it constitutes an era. Morrison up to Second Coming but before Schism.

[The Whovian]

Favorite era of X-Men comics?

The Claremont/Byrne/Paul Smith era. The first X-Men comics I ever read and still my favorites.

May 1989 - November 2005

July 2010 - Present

Utopia Era. No era in X-Men history has ever, to me, given off and atmosphere where EVERYONE is important to the story and narrative. Even if my fav group (NXM) weren't as prominent as I would have liked them to be, they weren't total wallpaper and even had missions with the senior X-Men from time-to-time.

1963 to about 2000. I pretty much loved all of X-Men until Morrison not knocking Morrison I loved his JLA, Batman, Animal Man, and All-Star Superman I just disliked his X-Men run.

Basically this.

Utopia era is certainly one of my favorites, it's like the whole franchise was set in one direction, now it feels messy and aimless

[Innocent Bystander]

first Claremont era - essentially from DPS straight through to probably a little after Fall of the Mutants.

[Luckystar.]

1986-1991 Mutant Massacre to Muir Island Saga
1997-1999 Seagle/Kelly era
2001-2004 Morrison/X-Treme X-Men era
2007-2013 Messiah Complex to whatever it was before Battle of the Atom ruined it for me
