Recommended Reading: Five X-Men Books You Need To Pick Up

Liked "X-Men: First Class"? Well, if you can't get enough of the movie, here is a list of some 5-star graphic novels/comic books you can feast your eyes upon so you can learn more about our favorite mutant team and its core players - courtesy of Marvel,  and yours truly.


For more in-depth backstory on Magneto, check out X-Men: Magneto Testament by Greg Pak and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico collected in an awesome papeback.

Description:  Today, the whole world knows him as Magneto, the most radical champion of mutant rights that mankind has ever seen. But in 1935, he was just another schoolboy - who happened to be Jewish in Nazi Germany. The definitive origin story of one of Marvel's greatest icons begins with a silver chain and a crush on a girl - and quickly turns into a harrowing struggle for survival against the inexorable machinery of Hitler's Final Solution From X-Men: Phoenix - Endsong writer Greg Pak and award-winning artist Carmine Di Giandomenico.

My recommendations continue after the cut.
