Breja: [...]does any of that actually make sense if you read it all? I know it's comics and weird, insane shit happens all the time, but it seems to me like it no longer in any way, shape or form resembles the X-Men comics I used to read way back when.
It does make sense, but you have to remember, comics, and in many ways X-Men especially, are basically soap operas with superpowers, and much like soap operas, it can be difficult to get back into it after you've been gone for a while. It'll feel both familiar and alien at the same time, you recognise bits and pieces but how those ended up where and who these new people are will be confusing, at least for a bit. Luckily, there are people who are way more into this who can explain it for you, and point you to good collections and answer any questions raised from missing out on the bad stuff. Edit: The X-Men '90's series captures the feel of the '90's comics exceptionally well, despite that fact that the '90's were EXTREME, often to the point of hilarity and TV censors wouldn't necessarily sign off on that. It can be goofy as fuck, but it's also oddly charming. There was a comic that came out recently called X-Men '92 that's inspired by/based on the '90's cartoon, I've heard decent things about it.
