Product Description: Sixteen million mutants dead - and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century - masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match. Now, his entire Eisner Award-nominated run on New X-Men is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! Collects New X-Men #142-154.
A Steep Drop ^ Volume 3 is some of the worst work I've ever seen by Morrison. While Vols 1 and 2 (and the first arc of Vol 3) maintain some of the subversive intensity Morrison brinks to books like the Invisibles, the writing goes downhill fast. Campy and facile, I actually went back to make absolutely sure Morrison was the author. Sadly, yes. While I would recommend Vols 1 and 2 without reservation, Vol 3 is rough to read.
Vol. 1 & 2 Are Better, But Still... ^ Altought this is the weakest of three ultimate volumes, it's still very good. Well deserving conclusion to the series.
