The X-Men first debuted in the early ’60s, introducing readers to a team that would become the biggest in the comic industry in the years to come. It was a long road to get to that point, though, and luckily the X-Men were able to survive many early failures. Since then, books like Uncanny X-Men and X-Men have been able to hit some impressive issue numbers, giving them both multiple centennial comics. Lots of comics have gotten to issue one hundred over the years, but only the really special ones get multiple centennials.Back in the day, a centennial comic was the mark of something special, as newsstand vendors were more likely to order comics with longer runs. Now, the industry has changed, but that doesn’t make centennial comics any less special. The X-Men have had some amazing centennial books. They’ve also had ones that aren’t so great, either, but X-Men fans are still happy to have them.Bendis’s run started decently enough by bringing the original five X-Men from the past to the present in All-New X-Men and introducing a “terrorist” Cyclops with an “outlaw” team of X-Men in Uncanny. However, he seemed to lose interest after the first year of both books. Uncanny X-Men got bogged down in “The Last Will And Testament Of Charles Xavier,” a story that finally ended with a return to legacy numbering for the big anniversary issue. Issue 600 was the run’s swan song and most fans were happy it was over. At the very least, the issue boasted some great artists, but that was pretty much the only upside.
