See, you know what makes this work so well, 30 years after the fact?

The characters CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. Oh sure, they have their drama...but they are a family. We saw this time and again with the X-men. From radically different backgrounds and different viewpoints...but at the end of the day, they'd give their lives for each other.

We see classic Wolverine here (fresh off one of his biggest FUCK YEAH moments ever, btw) reminiscing about how he, the consumate Loner, will chose Jean and the X-men over anything. He's prepared to die for them...a radical change for a guy who never cared about anyone before.

And really, I can't say enough about the combination of classic Byrne-Austen art, here. This truly was one of Marvel's finest hours...showing how Claremont and Byrne's story and Byrne and Austen's artwork turned a bunch of minor characters, unable to hold a regular title for years, into the biggest money maker Marvel has.
