Reviews of annuals, the quarterly X-Men Unlimited, additional limited series, one-shots and relevant appearances in other series will be worked in as needed.
Part of the goal of this project is to get a feel for what it would be like to walk into a comic shop on a given month and pull these titles off the stands. Thus, issues are examined according to their on sale date, with the titles covered in a given two week period equating to what was on sale in a given month. Annuals, limited series, significant guest appearances and the like will be fit in where they can be, but the main titles will remain in their on-sale date groupings.
On sale dates come mostly from Mike's Amazing World of Comics, a fantastic website and resource you should check out if you haven't already. Matters of chronological appearances are usually determined by the Official Marvel Index and/or the Marvel Chronology Project, with occasional assistance from SuperMegaMonkey's Marvel Chronology project. Discrepancies/oddities/general notes on the matter of chronology will be discussed in the relevant issues' posts.
Want to start at the beginning? Here's the very first X-amination (of X-Men #1, of course). Click through from there to read all the reviews in order!

i have always been intrigued by the family dynamics between cable, Phoenix 2, and Prof. Xavier. How did Xavier feel about Cable taking the Nw Mutants?
