There were a couple good moments, so I bumped it up one star, but this is also a Chris Claremont tale - and I expected more. I got it through the Marvel Insider program: you get points for doing things, then can get things like digital comics. I was hoping that Claremont writing Magneto, my favo...
Note: uses the N-word and has dead children. This is not X-Men for little kids.God Loves, Man Kills is a storyline that the X-Men movies have mined for material, even if it hasn't directly been adapted. Reverend William Stryker whips the non-mutant populace up into an anti-mutant furor, and Profe...
For years comic book writers have been using the X-Men as a metaphor for a persecuted minority group, but in God Loves, Man Kills the idea gets its most ham-fisted treatment. I don't expect subtlety from a superhero comic, but in this story we get images of Charles Xavier crucified and tormented by ...
Another solid collection. The art and even the layout is sometimes really hit or miss, but I found the stories in general to be fun, weaving short story arcs with a longer overarching story and pulling pieces of his life in where needed.This book also got pretty violent. There's a number of deaths i...
I’ve been on a comics kick of late, as well as a nostalgia high from Comics Alliance’s X-Men animated series recaps, so checking out some classic X-Men storylines seemed like a no-brainer.

Fun. This book was just a lot of fun. It felt very fast-paced, especially as compared to today's write for the trade mentality. Rarely did a story go more than one issue in a row. And as with the first volume, the really great part here was how well Power Man and Iron Fist work together as partners ...
Oh my gosh, this book. I'm really not sure what to say about this book. I wanted to like it. And I kind of did, especially once Claremont took over the writing duties. But it has a couple glaring flaws which fall into that valley between books which are genuinely good and books which lack in strai...
I was a little worried going into this book. I've like Luke Cage in the modern comics for a while now, and had gotten introduced to he and Iron Fist as a team in some of the recent comics - first Earth's Mightiest Heroes and then Ultimate Spider-Man. So I figure, I like Luke Cage and I like the Hero...
Genre: Superheroes / Action / Adventure Year Published: 1981 Year Read: 2012 Series: Uncanny X-Men Publisher: Marvel Comics Brief Introduction: As I read through these older X-Men stories originally written by Chris Claremont, I wondered to myself about how the X-Men stories were like ...
