When I started my X-Men project, I decided not to count it on my official reading list. A lot of the earlier issues haven't been accessibly collected and I got bored out of my skull at the thought of figuring out which issue went in which trade.
Plus I didn't want to rate any of it.
Now I'm gonna TRY to figure out those trade divisions, starting with the easy stuff. I probably read around 800 books, so this'll be a loooong catalogue.
All 21 X-FACTOR collections are currently on sale at comiXology, and it looks like Amazon's got them priced the same or lower for Kindle, too!
Or, if you don't necessarily want to OWN the series, the whole thing is on Marvel Unlimited and you could probably finish it in a month. It's usually $9.99, but they seem to offer free or discounted first months on a regular basis.
(I just really really want people to read X-FACTOR. It's my favourite!)
pickI've read 2000+ X-Men issues across dozens of series, and X-FACTOR is my absolute fave. It's solid all the way through--something few longer series achieve--and it's mostly self-contained. You can ignore every other X-book and still have an awesome time with it.
The elevator pitch: a diverse bunch of B-list X-Men run a detective agency. It's noir but hilarious but heartbreaking, with real consequences for every choice. I love it deep in my soul.
