oh god I fell victim to cataloging on this one: my library catalog listed this as "Uncanny X-men : the complete collection" and so I put a hold on it, and then I got it and it was volume 3, and I was like, whatever, I know X-Men, I'll read this?

IDK, I do know X-Men stuff pretty well, but this is a WEIRD volume to jump into the middle of. But the #cool thing about comics is that even though I did not know about all of the weird shit that was happening, it didn't really matter. What matters is that Matt Fraction & Kieron Gillon are really masters of humanizing these archetypal characters.

That said, I'm definitely uh, ordering volumes 1 and 2 for my library and reading those ASAP. Continuity WHAT??
