Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not quite a satisfying read
After the truly astonishing vol 1 comic, followed by the confusing vol 2, vol 3 sees some restoration of continuity to this X-men series. The title Torn refers (I think) to Emma Frost's state of mind whereby she betrays the X-men because she was brainwashed by members of the Hellfire Club into releasing a ghoulish looking lump of jelly from some pod. Naturally in turn, Emma brainwashes Kitty Pryde into actually doing the task.

The problem with this plot is the rationale for the Hellfire ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Growing Complexity
Vol.3 is astonishingly different from 1&2. The previous two had simpler plots and defined characters. This time its no-holds-barred for Joss Whedon. Torn dives deep and far taking us to places we never thought we'd see the series go.

A good portion of the volume is quite confusing at times. Since it involves a lot of psychic interference, it makes sense to complicate the reading, because the characters become totally entangled in a "hypnotic state", if you will. Some parts will seem ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Astonishing!
LOVE IT! There so addictive, and well worth the price. Great characters, storylines, dialogue, illustrations...everything!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Confusing, Baffling, but Still Lots of Fun
Whedon and Cassaday return for the third installment of The Astonishing X Men, this one focusing on more psychological threats rather than the very tangible threats of the first two installments. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting and fun trip, with lots of good action, good humor and certain members of the x team like no one's ever seen them before. This is the most trippy of the four Whedon/Cassaday X Books, but it is still well worth a look. Die hard fans, pick this bad boy up whenever. Newbies, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Take
I've been a Whedon fan for years, and am convinced that he can take any story and find a new take on it. In his X-Men stories, he takes a group of well established characters and still manages to find a few new angles on them. The dialogue is great if you're into banter. The artwork by John Cassaday is topnotch, with the action moving along like a well paced movie.
