House of X #1 (Director’s Cut)

This is literally the first comic I've bought in at least 6 years. I just haven't been into it like I use to. But then I heard all of the hype surrounding Hickman in articles and on YouTube, and how he's such an amazing writer, that I felt compelled to buy this book.

I read the first few pages of it, but haven't quite finished it, since I had school studying to do. But I'll certainly get back to it, and take my dear sweet time reading it, so that I don't miss anything. Part of me is a bit curious to know if any of the previous continuity will be recognized, or if this is a hard reboot. Meaning - if certain events and/or characters will be rewritten as they were or should be... You can see where I'm going with this. In all though, I hope we get a healthy dosage of the X-Men we've grown to love over the decades, without any convoluted storylines, or tampering with the characters. I understand they need to grow and progress, but stick with the personal issues. Like Hank dealing with his appearance, Cyclops coming to terms with his marriages, or Iceman dealing with his identity as a superhero or leading a normal life as an Accountant. Things like that... Of course those are just examples, but it would be great if they could normalize the X-Men, or at the very least coming up with stories that are "outside the box". For example, one of the X-Men could be moonlighting, and use their powers to make money on the side.
