With Dave Cockrum's passing I was inspired to stat up the X-Men of the All New All Different era. Dave's work on Legion of Super-heroes and X-men is what truly hooked me on comics. I remember buying the Legion Limited Collectors Edition C-55 that reprinted the wedding and I collected Legion comics until DC killed it for me with the re-boots of the team. Then a short time later I bought Giant-Sized Super-Villian Team Up, Giant-Sized Invaders, and lastly Giant-Sized X-men. And I was hooked....
