Question
1. There are many X-men names and team. Is Uncanny X-men the best?
How many X-men members are there from every team?
2. What is the top ten X-men?
3. I do my shopping at Amazon sometime, why is amazon prices for some TPB comic so much cheaper then the list price? Is there a catch to getting it cheap? What is the deal? Is it shopping it smart or what?
Hi Henry,
I was on holiday... apologize for the delay.
1. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by best. I don't really answer opinion questions because there is no right answer. The Uncanny X-Men are the premiere team of mutants in the Marvel Universe, yes.
2. Again, this is an opinion based question. There is no correct answer. However, Marvel.com put out a list of who they thought were the top X-Men... here is the link:

3. Amazon is cheaper in general on a number of items, its their business model. They can afford to lower prices because of the economies of scale they are able to produce. In addition, they sell used items as well, and used trades are cheaper than brand new ones.

Expertise
As a hardcore X-Men fan, I can answer any question about Marvel's Mighty Mutants. I can also answer questions about the spin-off groups (X-Factor, New Mutants/X-Force, Excalibur, Generation X, New X-Men, and the other many incarnations). I specialize in the X-universe but I can answer a lot of Marvel questions as well. Make Mine Marvel. In addition to the comics, I can answer questions about the X-Men cartoons (TAS from the 90s and Evolution) as well as the X-Men feature films. I don't have any expertise or knowledge of the DC Universe.
Experience
I have the entire run of UNCANNY X-MEN (from the first issue in September 1963) up to today. I also have a huge portion of (adjectiveless) X-Men (the second series), X-Factor (volumes 1 and 2), X-Force, Excalibur (volume 1, some of volume 2, some of New Excalibur); Generation X; and New X-Men. I have very few issues of New Mutants but I am proficient in my New Mutants knowledge.
