Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - definitive classic
What the X men should be. This book shows the real Cyclopes, a tourcherd leader. Not a sociopathic jerk



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little disappointing
Yet another Volume 2 of the Essential series that does not live up to the quality of the first. This volume starts with a weak story and ends with a weaker story, with a few decent ones in-between, including stories involving the Juggernaut and the Mutant Master. The best part of this volume is the origin stories of Professor X, Cyclops, Iceman, and Beast. Also, there is some amazing Jim Steranko art toward the end which makes up for some weak writing on those issues.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A good look into the past
This book is a great deal: 30 issues (including Avengers #23). The stories are typicall of the late 60's. The dialogue is pretty silly, and the comic definately feels dated. However, it's a great way to see how the X-Men evolved. Werner Roth does the majority of the art, and it's ok, though nothing special. The last few issues in the book were the best, dealing with Magneto and the introduction of Polaris. There is minimal dialogue and some good action.

The second half of the issues ...

Black and white colored.

Who cares? Stories are amazing!

And we can see old days funs and vocabs!(Chickadees!)\

X-Men amazing. Marvel is the best!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's About Bloody Time, Marvel!
Marvel released volume one in this series YEARS ago, and they have finally given us volume two. The stories in this volume are very rarely reprinted, and are very entertaining.

Worth a look, especially if you're a mutant continuity nut like me.
