But the very first non-Bat comic I ever read was X-Men (either #27 or 29; it's been a few decades) featuring the Mimic and the Super-Adaptoid. I didn't have the 12 cents to buy it at the time, but it made enough of an impression that I can still recall specific plot-points dang near 40 years later. It would be really nifty to see that kind of vibe in the X-Men again. I came to comics through the Batman TV show, like most people of my age.

I like you have in the recent decade or so really lost the need to read these books until Morrison and Whedon came on board. But my attraction was never to Beast and certainly not Mr. Boring,Cyclops. I was hooked by Claremont's ability to build minor story points and subplots into main storylines and by the use of very different characters together in the same team: Wolverine, a violent problem child who doesn't care for the team leader and wants his woman, Storm a strong black female who is not just visual wallpaper like Sue Storm, and later Kitty a member who largely has defensive powers and converting a former villain Rogue into a full fledged team member. X-men when it started really was All-new and All-different from the JLA and Avengers and that's what hooked me. Wow, we come at the X-men from completely different approaches.

Moreso during the second one, where the slow close-up pan looked more like a gag ("he's dead... WHOOPS! ... and she's dead... KA-ZING! ... and he's dead too ... DA-DUM-CHING!"). Other than that, I felt a profound sense of <em>scheissenbedaurn.</em> I was actually paralyzed with laughter during both funeral scenes.
