 A great read February 3, 2004

This is a great book, it sets up all the characters ready for Chucks arc to begin. we get a refreshing new look at young mutants from Sammy and just from a misunderstanding we see the X-Men end up in a very dangerous situation.
 Starts off with promise then goes downhill. January 20, 2004

Chuck Austen's run on the book starts off looking like a classic, fun superhero story. Sure there are a few kinks, but they can be ironed out as time goes on. Unfortunately, that's not what happens. These kinks grow to be major problems and start to overshadow any good that there is in the writing. The characters start to act less and less like themselves, the dialogue gets worse and worse, and sexula themes are just clumsily thrown on en masse in unnecessary and uncreative ways, in hopes that just their presence will be enough to entertain.

I was scrolling through and alot of you were very negative. I'm not a "hard core" fan or anything, but I do enjoy reading x-men novels and comics. I like this particular series for 2 reasons, and the first is the graphics. I grew up watching the x-men cartoon, and if the characters look really funny, it's hard for me to get into it. I mean it's a comic book, the graphics should be important right? Second, I enjoyed the plot, and thought there was a nice bit of humor in it. Since I'm not a die hard x-fan, there was some confusing stuff, but other than that I really got into them, and can't wait for the next one. I have read many of the other series, and really found them boring (plus there graphic interpertations of the characters were a little....different) but don't take my word for it, take a chance and check it out! ^_^
 Excuse me, I've lost my plot device, could I borrow yours? November 15, 2003
If you're an X-Men fan, there are hundreds of other stories that you should read before this one. Not because this story depends on the others, but because the others are all better. This story is weak. Really weak. Contrived plot devices and poor charactorization. Some of the reviews of this comic are better reads than the comic itself. If you want a real story, check out Grant Morrison's New X-Men. While he uses stock stories (evil twins, anti-mutant groups, secret government agencies, and other cliches), he manages to make them interesting again.
Pretty Good Book May 15, 2003

This is the first x-men book I've ever read besides the comic adaptions of X-men the movie and the X2 adaption. I think its pretty entertaining. My favorite part is the first section where a young aquatic mutant gets a ride on the X-jet and then realizes his true potencial when rescuing Juggernaut from drowning. Jean-Paul's attempt to save a young boy reminds me of Captain America dealing with the death of his sidekick Bucky.
