I’ve somehow managed to get a hold of the entire series of Uncanny Xmen in digital archive format so I’ve made it a mission to read it through right from the first issue. As it turns out, the early issues of the series was actually pretty difficult to read. The cheese factor and innocence of that era of comic book writing really shows through. Nonetheless, it’s a nice little casual read to pull out whenever I have a nice break.
Meanwhile, as it happens I stumbled across this Berlin artist, Anjin Anhut’s vision of what the Xmen may have looked like if they weren’t always made to look so perfect. I like it! I gave up comics right around the time where every character they were designing looked like they had cyborg parts, perfect bodies, and giant guns. Where’s the originality? (via io9)
