From there any new X-man issue that is being released between this month and April is fair game since the next several months all deal with the fall out from Messiah Complex.   No matter what, you want to pick up Uncanny X-men 500 since thats most likely going to start off the next major storyline.If you want to start up Spiderman, all I suggest is that if you DO NOT pick up any issue that came out before 2008.  You'll regret doing it.</blockquote>
