Great book! My four-year old son "bought" this book for my husband for father's day, as he did with the Spiderman pop up for Christmas. My husband loves the authentic story lines he remembers from when he was kid and our son likes learning about the X-Men. Great story lines, great pop ups for young and old kids to share together.
Excellent graphics, good content, and amazing engineering Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1EXB800IJYXOO This is a video that walks you briefly through the pop-up book.
I enjoy the book as an X-men cartoon and movie fan. My six-year-old son likes the book because it has cool super heros in it, and I try to keep my three-year-old from destroying it. It is a well done book, with good content and excellent pop-ups.
Fun! When I was gifted this book I was unsure... but two pages in and I was sold. Great art from Byrne and Cockrum (and others) and a surprisingly in depth look at the "All New-All Different" era of the X-men makes this a perfect gift for casual and hardcore comic fans.
X-Men Marvel True Believers Retro Collection Pop-Up Book Great well-done "Pop-up fun"! I highly recommend this hard-back book for true comic book fans, especially adult collectors!
