this is the best volume in grant morrison's run on x-men. due to this volume, i made the mistake of purchasing all the other volume's in his run. basically, with each volume after this, the writing gets worse, and the plot gets more bland (and classically psycho-morrison-y at the same time, seems impossible right?).
that being said, this is some of the best morrison writing i've ever read, and most-certainly the best x-men i've read.
basically volumes 1 and 2 are the best, ... Read More

this story just needs to be longer. its just like the other new xmen book i reviewed: planet x.
you'd think something that climaxes with the destruction of genosha (oops, did i spoil that?) would be something that you go into detail and buildup with right? well, apparantly not. this could have been a big crossover event like house of m or civil war, but whatever, just make it a lame volume of a lame book.
also, i just noticed this; NEW xmen? whats so new about it? the ... Read More

It had that "big concept" feel and a lot of energy. E Is For Extinction felt like a very traditional X-Men story, but with a modern feel, a mixture I quite liked. Morrison managed to walk that line very well.
His take on the ... Read More

Grant Morrison is undeniably, unabashedly brilliant. In an age of super-decompressed story lines, Morrison throws out more jaw-dropping ideas in 22 pages than most can hopelessly string out into their 6-issue trades.
It's almost comic brilliance porn, and therein lies the problem. So many of the intriguing ideas are just thrown out and subsequently abandoned that they end up hurting the overall focus of the story. If Morrison could just pick a few and stick with them, while it might lose some ... Read More
