Average Rating: 
Rating:  - THIS is why i read the X-men!
To start, i was almost turned off to this by the negative reviews on this site. But when it comes down to it the X-men in space written by Ed Brubaker was enough to draw my dollars in. And i'm glad i went with my gut because this is what the x-men is all about. Professor X, feeling guilt over the Vulcan situation he created gathers a team of X-men to take into space to try to make right the situation and stop Vulcan from destroying the Sh'iar and his ex wife Lilandra. This team consists of Havok, ... Read More
Rating:  - Brubaker is good
It is not as good as Daredevil or Captain America, it takes too long. But when action starts, it doesnt end very soon. If you like X-Men, especially Havoc (like me), this story will please you.
Rating:  - Brubaker has done better
I can't believe I'm the first to give this thing one star. I read "Deadly Genesis" when it came out, and thought it was ok. It seems like Brubaker is trying to do to X-Men what he did (much better) in Captain America; take a long-lost character, presumed dead, and re-insert him into the current timeline.
The main reason it works in Cap is that BUCKY EXISTED PRIOR. To create a "new" Summers brother, and then use that character to spring board this epic space yarn is just lazy. It would have ... Read More
Rating: - Rise of X-Men through Shi'ar
The artwork was fantastic and the story was great. A little jumpy at times where I was not sure where I was in the story, but definitely a must read. For fans, like myself that have not read the X-Men for a while, pick it up. It harks back to the days of the 80's X-men hopping around Shi'ar space. I love the new team. I always liked Warpath and he was shown pretty well here. Although his full strength was never realized. Loved this story about the 3rd Summer's brother. Hated the cliffhanger ending, ... Read More
Rating: - not as epic as you may hope.
I really like this despite First flaw, it's about the shi'ar who have never been that interesting. Second, despite it's continuing the saga begun in X-men deadly genesis it doesn't actually finish it. And third, the main protagonist, Vulcan, Isn't that intersting either.
Okay thats the bad, on with the good. Ed Brubaker is a great character writer and he clearly knows his X-men. He takes B-list characters and makes you care about them, for example his depiction of warpath is the best since the character ... Read More
