X-Men combines ideas from more than one period of the comics, so its source material is better read as a group than as one direct adaptation. Start with X-Men #1, then compare it with Uncanny X-Men #150 and X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
Connection: Broad thematic synthesis
