Where or what’s the natural end point for the most popular Marvel books?

I was reading this thread with great interest as poster Joseph Marek decided to embark upon an x-men reading project that, at its nub, was about the Claremont era 75-91. And this was, if I’m...

X-Men after the Mutant Massacre...hmmm...I am not a fan of the Outback years, nor am I a fan of the "Siege Perilous" epic. Nope. It's like Claremont took all the fun over to Excalibur.
