Whereas while the AOA era was at a similar timeframe, comics are far less mainstream than that animated series. I personally love the story as it was pretty much my first comic purchase when I picked up that issue of Xavier getting killed!

Oh trust me I agree with you. I grew up in the 90s, and when the AoA storyline came out, everyone was hyped about it. It was pretty big news at the time for comic readers. It just hasn't held up the past decade. Like you said, the Lee X-Men are the mainstream versions (which I am ok with), but I just wish this had caught on stronger.
I hope IS releases more pieces for this line. I'd love to see AoA Cyclops.
