Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Entertaining read
There are just too many X-men titles out there. Not being an X-men fan, this comic book was a revelation on how a new writer could continue to inject interest into a tired genre.

Prof Xavier's sabbatical provides a convenient starting point for a new team of X-men to be formed under the shaky leadership of Cyclops. Perhaps mindful of the recent demise of Marvel Girl (aka The Phoenix), Whedon has given Cyclops guilt feelings in his new love relationship with Emma Frost. The Beast and ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A solid X title
As a long time X fan, I am always excited to check out a new series based on this mutant team. Prior to this I read Whedon's Fray, an excellent sci-fi vampire slayer book. So when it came down to choosing between this and Morrison's New X-Men, I went with this (I'm a little burned out on Morrison after Batman R.I.P.). This first collection did not disappoint. This go round, the team consists of Cyclops and Emma Frost leading the team, with Beast, Wolverine, and Shadow Cat. It's not my favorite ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Entertaining and Dark Refreshment
I picked this up with little previous X-men history. I managed to pick up this volume and hit it off fairly well. The story is great, because I had no ability to predict what was going to happen next. Joss Whedon is really "Gifted" and the title speaks more to himself, than to the mutants.

I was really shocked because the X-men are not happy in the least. They constantly fight with eachother about how they are going to go about gaining acceptance. It was truly an experience to see ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great start to a great run
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a great introduction to a fantastic run by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday. Throughout the series, Whedon crafts an exciting story with many twists and turns. He makes a very complex and rich storyline that avoids being contrived or difficult to follow. Cassaday's art complements the style perfectly, and does a great deal to help with the story.

I can't recommend this storyline enough. Whedon and Cassaday completed 24 total issues during their run with ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SO GOOD!
