Rating:  - Black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...?
I honestly don't get the appeal of these books. Why bother making (or reading) black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...? I mean, yeah, the stories are still great and the original comics are hard to find, but a huge part of what made these comics great was the eye-popping artwork, including the bright primary colors: reading them in dull B&W is just plain wrong. Sure, the printing costs are lower, so you can get more pages for your money, but it's more pages of boring, not more ... Read More
Rating: - Graphic SF Reader
Arcade and Murderworld, Starjammers, Dracula, Arkon and more great X-Men. Arcade is one of those crazy nut supervillains you love, with his weird sense of honor and gamesmanship. The Starjammers are fab, as Cyclops learns about his past. Storm encounters some more personal issues, are various men want to be involved with her. Ok, Dracula is an undead vampire, but he still fancies her in the same way Arkon does.
Rating:  - Graphic Novel junkie
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
Rating: - Awesome...yet in dire need of reprint.
These stories are amazing. Pure and simple. After I read the Dark Phoenix Saga-well, of course, no X-Men story will ever equal the depth, perception, and feeling of those nine issues, but this volume comes close enough to be hailed. From the opening arc concerning Doctor Doom and Murderworld to the spellbinding cliffhanger on the final page, it's a great thrill form beginning to end.
You get to see some X-characters that don't get a lot of steam these days like Polaris and Banshee really ... Read More
Rating: - Still Lovin' the Mutants !
Bottom line definitive classic X-Men from the writer who
helped to define them in the first place, Chris Claremont.
The 'Essential' Volumes are just what the the title says.
A must if you want to get a handle on these longtime claw
slicing, mind reading, stormbrewing, metal manipulating
band of superheroes and villains.
Recommended for ages 6 - 60.
The only downside would be the black and white art,
but for the amount of material you get for the ... Read More
