Customer review of: Essential X-Men, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials) Customer Rating: Summary: Return to Yesteryear Comment: I was 11 - 12 when I read these stories. I'm 40 now and that shows how far back they go. Yet they still hold up. I can remember wanting (and not able to) read the Proteus Saga for the longest time and taking issue 137 with me to school. The Hellfire Saga marked the point when I started reading the X-Men seriously, and # 138 helped me to understand their history. And of course "Days of Future Past" started the time travel mess of later stories. I think this is required space for any serious X-fan, but for anyone wanting to see the best that mainstream comics can offer should start here. There are purchases on Amazon that I truly am thankful I made. This is one of them. Customer Rating: Summary: Graphic SF Reader Comment: The Marvel Essentials program is a fantastic idea, and a great idea, and here is why. You get the classic storylines in this volume and a hell of a lot more for a great price. You can get these for about the same price as 3-4 comics new, here, so it is pretty clear why these are a good idea and why DC copied them. If you have all this material and can get it to your readers, why not do it? Customer Rating: Summary: A truly essential arc of an essential run Comment: This is the second Marvel Essential to chronicle Chris Claremont's record-setting 16 year continuous run on The Uncanny X-men. This essential chronicles what is often sited as one of the best comic story arcs ever written: the Dark Phoenix Saga. In this arc, we see the introduction of the Hellfire Club, including their White Queen, Emma Frost, a character that has become incredibly important to current X-men continuity, especially to Grant Morrison's acclaimed run on New X-Men. We also see the introduction of Kitty Pryde, a character featured in the white hot Astonishing X-Men by Buffy scribe Joss Whedon and the death of Jean Grey. In short, you have one of the most beloved comic arcs of the last 30 years and the introduction of characters that today's hottest comic writers come back to again and again. If you call yourself a comics fan, or even just a fan of great storytelling, you owe it to yourself to get this essential. Even better, it's less than 15 bucks. You can't go wrong. Customer Rating: Summary: Graphic Novel junkie Comment: Ok, ok, I should say comic book junkie, because that's what they were called when I first started reading them some decades ago. This whole series of Essential X-men books are a fun read unless you get bogged down in details. I never did, I just enjoyed reading them. This is a great book. Enjoy Customer Rating: Summary: Essential review Comment: This is a great book in the Marvel Essentials series. It has over 20 editions of the Uncanny X-Men comics, with the introduction of Kitty and the dark Phoenix. A great book for the avid X-Men fan!
