LOL GUYS IDEK. I know this is a classic classic X-Men storyline and I kind of thought I'd already read it, but I wanted to re-read it before the movie? But in retrospect maybe I only saw the animated series version of this?

Anyway I'm not really used to how clunky older comics can be. Like the first issue of this is literally just Cyclops narrating the entire history of the X-Men. It's pretty boring honestly, except for when he refers to a “crazy donnybrook in Calgary” because that is like the most improbable description of superhero adventures ever. Then, all the X-Men go to DANTE'S INFERO? And Wolverine goes to Canada and fights a Wendigo? And then the actual Days of Future Past story is only 2 issues long.

If you're nerdy enough to really appreciate this you probably read it like 20 years ago.
