Product Description:
Sixteen million mutants dead - and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century, masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match. Now, his entire Eisner Award-nominated run on New X-Men is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! Collects New X-Men #114-126, and Annual 2001.

This volume, to be viewed as the first in a trilogy by the brilliant X-mind Grant Morrison, gives both old and new fans of Marvel's top hero team one of the most approachable, layered and intriguing entries in the series' history and yes, while it can be a stand-alone book, you must do yourself a HUGE favor and get yourself volumes 2 and 3 as well and you will see, it is all one infinitely complex, beautiful story.
In the first volume by Morrison, we are introduced to a new primary antagonist ... Read More

It is possible to sum up Grant Morrison's run on the X-men with a single phrase: Style over substance. When you take away the annoying action movie-style dialogue (seriously, why does everyone have to keep spouting jokes all the live-long day?) what you're left with are some appallingly weak storylines and completely shallow, unlikeable characters. Take for example Morrison's new villain, Cassandra Nova. Apparently Nova was Charles Xavier's evil twin whom he murdered in the womb (I`m not kidding). Undeterred, ... Read More

This is one of the best colection of X-men comics (or graphic novels) ever, period. Why 4 stars? It didn't quite blow me away, at least not this volume, but the second is extraordinary. The art is very good, especialy Kordey's, I don't understand why are people so disguisted by his drawings, his panels are the best in the book! Read all three volumes, you won't be dissappointed. By the way, sorry 'bout the "english", if there are some mistakes :)

I love almost everything Grant Morrison has done. And this was no exception. While he does an amazing job of giving the X-men a kick into modern times, the art almost hurts to look at. I've never been SO DISTRACTED by the poor quality of the art that I've wanted to stop reading a great story. It also doesn't help the fact the there are 3 different artists. I know that there was nothing that Grant could do about that, but I eventually just goes from bad, to worse.

For years the X-Men have claimed to be advancing mutant rights, but what have they actually accomplished? They've defended against threats, sure--but they haven't really done much beyond that. Finally, the X-Men get proactive in their mission. Writer Grant Morrison, with a host of artists including the ultra-talented Frank Quitely, Leinil Yu, and Ethan Van Sciver, reinvents the X-Men as an elite mutant search-and-rescue unit whose main priority is teaching the next generation of mutant youths the skills they need ...
