What I Remember:

I wasn’t the biggest X-Men collector as a kid, which is odd considering that mutants were the biggest thing in comic books in the early 1990’s.

I always preferred Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and the Hulk. However, I loved the cartoon show, who didn’t? I also really liked Wolverine and even owned the original miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller but Claremont was off X-Men by the time began collecting my own comics.

This X-Men book featured the Gold team of X-Men. At the time there were two teams of X-Men, Blue and Gold. Blue was headed by Cyclops and Storm was the leader of the Gold Team.

Currently, Marvel is running an X-Men '92 series revisiting the team from animated series but let's see what was going on with the X-Men in '92.
