December 29, 2004
Joss Whedon does what Grant Morrison never did, and that is understand the X-Men. Beautiful art by Joohn Cassaday makes this book almost excellent. New villians are shown here and are interesting and uncomplicated without being simple. Really fantastic stuff that whets your appetite for the rest of their run... more

While I read a lot of Marvel titles, I haven't kept up as well as I apparently need to in order to know all the characters in this crossover.
Some positives:
Even though this section is much smaller than my complaints below, I want to be clear that I enjoyed the storyline. The overall plot was well thought out, and I enjoyed reading the Summit notes at the end of the trade... more

This trade paperback collects issues #495-499 of Uncanny X-Men published by Marvel Comics in 2008. Ed Brubaker, perhaps the best writer in modern comics, wrote all five issues.

After all the bad things happening to the X-men they finally catch a break and start to enjoy life a little. I like the new character Pixie and seeing old x-men show up looking for home. (Even Queen Ororo). Also the art looks great... more

By: Matt Fraction
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 23, 2009
I may be biased as Psylocke is my favorite comic book character, but this story is actually pretty interesting besides that. This features another body switch dilemma along with her return to the X-Men series. It also brings in a nice list of villains to entertain readers including Jean Grey's lovely clone, which is actually the main focus of this novel. I particularly enjoyed its buildup and that... more

|
By: Mark Millar, Geoff Johns
Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 12, 2006
This first volume of ultimate x-men is diffenetly an average comic. The storyline is not bad, its ok and the art work is good. The major downside is that it is overpriced. So with the story line, the art, and the price it averages to about 2 stars. ... more

If you are a fan of the character Beast, this is a good graphic novel to purchase. Was it as good as some of the other X-Men storylines, no, but it was still entertaining. ... more

Coming off the heels of the Messiah storyline, i was expecting a great story to follow, but this story is terrible. It's choppy and hard to follow. It's almost as bad as trying to understand a grant morrison comic. Dn't waste your time with this book. Save your money ... more
