Pros & Cons
Pros
Frank quitely's art is an awesome and refreshing change from the 90s stereotypical x-men. Wolverine is truly a little hairball of a rugged man. I definably want him more on the x-men than on batman or green lantern.
The art is beautiful and easily communicates the actions and emotions of the characters. Most of the artwork is good and the storytelling makes up for this. Cyclopes is actualy tall and slim.
There are places where things feel'scrunched together' and a bit hurried.
Frank quitely, ethan van sciver, and leinil francis yu all do an outstanding job. Quitely is quite good in a non-quiet way.
Grant morrison is undeniably, unabashedly brilliant. These are the three runs that i hold in particular esteem.

I came in much later than this volume in the run, but the quality of it made me trek down the original issues which were just a... Read More
Based on the description i was completely and totally satisfied with the purchase of this book in this condition.
Packaging/appearance
Morrison has breathed new life into the x-men.
Its not that its over your head so much as he just leaves things out, and not left out in the form your own opinion type of way.
There is no better place for it than in the adolescent daydream playland of the x-men.
Competitiveness
It helps one (particularly a long-time reader) understand why certain changes were implemented.
This is one of the best colection of x-men comics (or graphic novels) ever, period.
In an age of super-decompressed story lines, morrison throws out more jaw-dropping ideas in 22 pages than most can hopelessly s... Read More
