My first X-Men comic was actually a reprint collection of the first appearances of Rogue, Wolverine, Mr. Sinister and Gambit that they did when the cartoon was out.
Only two of those were Uncanny Reprints.

Uncanny X-Men #298!
Uncanny X-Men #298 - cover.jpg
I picked it up at a newsagency at a shopping centre I was at with my Mum in Tasmania. I had no idea what was going on at the time but I was hooked by all the colorful weirdness! At that point I knew the cartoon existed and I saw ads for X-Men books in other comics I read but I didn't know much outside of that. Been collecting them ever since. Went back and got all the issues that came out before it too, in trades for the most part, but I had to find a lot of floppies that weren't collected in trade, took a good while but I did it. Honestly, it is probably a good thing I moved to the U.S 'cause it would've been much more difficult to find all those issues if I stayed in Australia at that time I think.Last edited by Odd Rödney; 02-24-2021 at 08:39 AM.

First X-Men comic? Probably New X-Men #117. I cant recall the exact issue but I can definitely say the series was my starting point.

For me, X-men #1...
I’d been a Spider-man fan and was really into the Todd McFarlane run, and read the issues where Wolverine guest-starred (and helped solve murder mystery involving the Wendigo). Young me thought, “Damn, this guy is badass! I want to learn more about him.” And eventually saw him on the cover of X-men #1 and picked it up. From that point on, I was hooked on the mutants.

Mine too. Art really hooked me. Great cover. The team was falling apart and I just had to find out who all these people were. This is what got me hooked on X-men Originally Posted by IN-a-Synch
