Recently I've decided to get back into reading comics after a long time, and I've decided to mainly follow DCs relaunch over Marvels. However, I've always been a huge fan of the X-men. So my question is, if I start reading the Uncanny series, and the new Wolverine and the X-men series, will I be able to keep up with the events? Or, do I need to follow all of the X-men comics going on at the moment to keep the story cohesive?

Uncanny and Wolverine are the two big ones, as long as you're reading those two you'll be fine. The other books might add a little to events but there shouldn't be anything you don't understand. I highly, highly recommend you pick up X-Factor as well though. It's completely seperate from all the other X-Events/books, and is really really good. I'd start with those three, then if there's certain characters you like in those books, maybe pick up some of the other titles they feature in.
