5 Best & Worst Things About X-Men Comics

1. Best - The X-Men Represent Hope

The top worst thing about being an X-Men fan was the seeming hopelessness of their situation, well here's the other side of that. The fact is, that while it may seem like they'll never succeed, the ultimate message of the X-Men is one of hope.

Over the years, the team have been through some pretty rough patches; beloved teammates have died or turned evil, they've seen the mutant population decimated by acts like the Legacy Virus and the Mutant Massacre and Xavier's mansion has been blown up so many times that the insurance prices are more through the roof than the leg of the sentinel that's probably attacking right now.

However, despite all this, the X-Men never give up. They keep on going because they have a dream that's worth fighting for, even if they might never see it through.

2016 was a dumpster fire of a year and now we face a future of uncertainty, with the UK in political turmoil and the reigns of the most powerful country on Earth about to be placed in the tiny hands of a racist potato in a misogynistic wig. At times like this the message of the X-Men is more important than ever.

No matter how dark and hopeless the current situation may seem, it's always worth fighting for the hope of a better future.

Also Nightcrawler is pretty cool, don't know if I mentioned that.

I was just a mild-mannered NCTJ accredited journalist until one day I found out the truth... that I could share my nerdy ramblings with people on the internet! It's just like mumbling to myself on the train, but without all the strange looks.
