Loved it as always.

A lot of people are surprised to find out the makeup of the first X-team. In a series famous for it's handling of the issues of xenophobia, it's surprising to find out the first team are a bunch of WASPs. The ethnic variety only comes with the Krakoa event. Which is when the modern super-team - where members come and go and the roster changes - is really born. And I'd say that you are in a way right to think of Wolverine as a founding member, because for many fans this second roster is the actual beginning of the X-men and the team we think of as the classic. It's also when it really stops being a "better version of the FF".

Incidentally, what do you think about Marvel bringing the original X-men back (from the past) into modern Earth-616?
