Customer review of: X-Men: The End Book Three: Men and X-Men Customer Rating: Summary: this is the end??? Comment: I thought this was a story that was crammed into three novels. The graphics are good, but the story line seemed rushed. Customer Rating: Summary: Major Revelations (This truely in continuity)! Madelyne Pryor! Comment: There are many reasons to buy X-MEN the END. But this is the reason why all of the x-men fans should. The Original Phoenix (from the Dark Phoenix Saga) was always Madelyne Pryor! Go back to the Essential X-men and see the build up. This build up from so many years of X-BOOKS (Further adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix, Dark Phoenix Saga, Inferno, and also the issues of uncanny X-men which featured Deathbird and Bishop) And that is only the beginning. Read this ASAP. It's the only end we will ever get. Customer Rating: Summary: A mixed bag of good, bad & ugly Comment: The good thing about the series is the overwhelming tsunami of action that will keep hearts jackhammering in the chests of true X-fans. While "The End" doesn't always bring about a true conclusion in some books in the Marvel series, the X-Men are certainly getting hit where it hurts from beginning to end -- and fans should be ready to watch their favorites fall in a variety of horrible ways. It's all-out war on mutants, generated largely because of a conflict among alien races the X-Men and other mutant groups have confronted over the years. And that means pulling out all the stops, with overwhelming forces that simply cannot be halted with fisticuffs and a quick quip. It's certainly a different face on comics, where regular readers know their favorite characters are never in any real danger. (Actual deaths are rare, after all, and are almost always foreshadowed far in advance as "events" that usually aren't permanent anyway.) But there's badness here, too, particularly for those of us who aren't diehard X-readers. Sometimes it feels like this is a "cast of thousands" production and, often, I found myself wondering who the heck some of these folks were. It's hard to get wrapped up in the fates of strangers, and the absence of much real backstory on them makes for a bewildering read. Even worse, however, is the pace with which "X-Men: The End" unfolds. While nonstop action -- filled with major developments, sudden twists and tragic deaths, no less -- can be a very entertaining storytelling technique, there are some limits that must be observed. In this case, things happen so quickly that readers don't have much time to digest one turn of events before they're on to the next. Writer Chris Claremont juggles numerous threads so wildly that it's easy to get confused, and the potential impact of the big stuff is diminished accordingly. Did someone just die? Oh well, worry about it later. Among the various bad guys at work here, however, the prominent use of Charles Xavier's evil twin -- yes, you read that right, his evil twin -- is a weak choice. And, by story's end, some readers might feel the tone is a little too preachy, as X-books are prone to do, as Xavier's "why can't we all just get along and leave in peace?" agenda is pushed. by Tom Knapp, Rambles.(n e t) editor Customer Rating: Summary: The best of Claremont's finale Comment: The third and final chapter in legendary scribe Chris Claremont's finale for the X-Men, Men and X-Men picks up with Professor Xavier and Magneto striking back at those responsible for the attacks on our merry mutants. In the meantime, Gambit is in disguise as Sinister and looking to avenge the death of Rogue, Bishop meets the daughter he never knew he had, and those that are still alive join together for the final battle which features the Brood, the Shi'ar, Phoenix, Cassandra Nova, and more X-Men than you could shake a finger at. Men and X-Men is definitely the best chapter in the X-Men: The End series, with Claremont's penchant for melodrama coming off better here than it has previously. Sean Chen's artwork is once again great to look at as well. All in all, if you dug the first two chapters in the X-Men: The End series, chances are you'll dig this too. Customer Rating: Summary: Suprisingly good Comment: I thought the first two books in this series were a little lack lustre but this really did float my boat! This is what they should have done right from the start. I can see that Chris Claremont realised that he was writing the end to one of the biggest franchises in comics and thought " oh s#*t I better pull finger and write something good". My only complaint is the actual end...of the end because wolverine is miraculously alive still. Read the book and you'll see what i mean.
