How old are you?

[Ultimate Rogue]

Oof, had to wonder whether I was 27 or 37 for far too long.

I'm 37, yikes time flies, and yet drags too, weird!

Metal Rooster "Cock-a-doodle dink!"

Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon, Libra ascendant, most planets in Libra.

I'm another X-Tas indoctrinate, but X-Men was my third fave cartoon at the time, Thundercats first, then TMHT, then X-Men.

Didn't read comics until my mid-twenties, no LCBS around (even now, the closest is a 120 mile round drive away, Ebay is a savior)

X-Men Legends on the PS2 is what re-kindled my interest in the X-Men, especially Rogue. It also introduced me to Emma, Psylocke and Magma and its sequel introduced Sunfire, Deadpool and Scarlet Witch.

52 years old.
My first issue of the X-Men was issue #111.
I was 11 years old at the time.
The cover caught my attention.
The art and story brought me back.

22. I knew the X-Men from the 90s cartoon and the movies, but my first complete X-Men read was either the Dark Phoenix Saga or E is for Extintion. I only bought stuff sporadically, but I think that during the Dark Reign era I started buying X-Men comics every week/month.

I'm 51, and started reading Uncanny X-Men in 1982 with issue 162 during the Brood Saga. Probably why Paul Smith is still my favorite X-Men artist. I was hooked right away. I went back and read through the Claremont/Byrne run, and kept going as far back as I could afford as a teenager.

27. Loved the X-Men as a kid thanks to TAS + the movies but didn't start reading the comics until towards the tail end of Morrison's run.

[Big Joe]

Looks like I'm the grand daddy here. I'm 55.

Started reading UK reprints in black and white in the late 60s. The first X-Men comic I got was 96. It was tough to get them in the UK for a while, so I missed a few between 96 and 110, but since then I have managed to get pretty much everything.

29. TAS was a big influence but there was an X-Men game for Sega Genesis that my cousins had that I always played when I went to their house that really was my first introduction to the X-Men. Thought Cyclops, Gambit, and Nightcrawler were some of the coolest characters out there.

26. Watched re-runs of the TAS as a kid, but that only ever influenced the action figures I owned. Never tried getting into the comics in a major way until X-Men Evolution, and the first few live-action movies. It was only in 2005 or so with House of M/Decimation that I was really able to invest my time, and money.

32.

Started with Bendis and frankly haven’t really enjoyed any comics as much since his all-new x-men.

It's pretty cool to see that the 90s cartoon had a big impact on most of you when you started to get into X-men. I will admit that even though I did watch the show from time to time I have very little memory of the 90s cartoon, also I remember being oddly afraid of Wolverine as a small child. I was a weird kid.

I started reading the Sonic the Hedgehog comics in 2003 and by 2008 or 2009 I wanted to expand my interest to other comics outside of just Sonic. Back when Borders was still a thing I use to get most of my comics from there, it was where I got my first Sonic comic and where I would get my first X-men graphic novel, House of M. Yeah I just thought House of M was a really cool story, like I knew that X-men and Spider-man are both Marvel characters but I did not know that they all lived in the same universe I thought that was really cool. I think my next two X-men graphic novels were Supernovas and Messiah Complex and I loved X-men ever since.

I will admit that when it comic to Marvel comics I'm pretty erratic when comes to buying single issues and just buy some here or there, for some reason the X-men feels much more natural to read in graphic novel from and the Sonic comics feels much more natural to read as single issues. :/

Oh yeah I almost forgot to say my age, I'm 29.

[andresdavidmr]

I'm 25. I grew up watching X-Men Evolution but started reading comics back in 2014, X-Factor investigations by Peter David was my first run and I have been hooked ever since.

38. Started reading in 89 or 90, started seriously reading in 1991. Took a break in 98 that lasted 20 years, and trying to get all the crap I missed in the interim.

Edit: So, you know, send me all those runs you hated so much. >. >

Do we start at zero or one for ages ?
