Excalibur Vol. 1: Forging The Sword (X-Men)6 reviews
Chris Claremont, Aaron Lopresti

Marvel Comics, 2004

Magneto's back
It seems the two negative reviews are due to Chris Claremont retconning Grant Morrison's New X-Men story "Planet X", in which Magneto became a drug-addict who herded people into crematoriums before being decapitated by Wolverine. Not only was this out of character, but a Jewish Holocaust survivor becoming a Nazi? Honestly, people. It should also be noted that Chris Claremont is the one who ...
  
  











  



  
House of M: New X-Men -- Academy X2 reviews
Nunzio Defilippis, Christina Weir

Marvel Comics, 2006

best academy x title so far
collects issue #16-19. i've been fairly disappointed with defillips/weir's run on new mutants v.3/new x-men academy x, but this is the best arc so far. as you prob. know, this title is part of the house of m series which, b/c of the scarlet witch's powers running amok, is basically a chance for marvel to write some "what if?" stories into their main books. in this instance magneto has overcome ...
  
  











  



  
Ultimate X-Men Spanish Collection TPB (Ultimate X Men)1 review
Mark Millar, Geoff Johns, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

I wanted to write in English...
...pero como el producto está en español, prefiero hacerlo así. Primero que nada hay que hacer notar dos cosas: la descripción del producto en la página de Amazon está hecha en una traducción que circula por la red y que hace parecer que la traducción del libro es pésima. Nada que ver. En realidad la traducción es correcta salvo detalles que veremos más adelante. La segunda es que el libro en sí ...
  
  











  



  
Ms. Marvel Vol. 3: Operation Lighting Storm (Mighty Avengers)1 review
Brian Reed

Marvel Comics, 2008

Operation "Revive the Ms. Marvel franchise" is a success
I will not (and I cannot) go into details about the complicate past of Ms. Marvel. Apparently, Carol DANVERS aka Ms. Marvel has had difficulty to impose herself as a popular character. Well, with author Brian REED at the helm and a good team of artists, it seems that the recent relaunch is a success. While in no way part of those modern classic comics that redefine the 'super hero' concept, ...
  
  











  



  
Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 62 reviews
Brian K Vaughan, Stuart Immonen, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

A bit uneven, but still a great Ultimate X-Men hardcover collection
Just when I was ready to end my lifelong love affair with the X-Men, Marvel launched the Ultimate X-Men series, which abandoned existing continuity and gave my favorite mutants a fresh start. By keeping top-tier writers and artists on board, and constantly challenging the status quo, Ultimate X-Men has restored my faith in Professor Xavier's band of student/soldiers. I've been following this ...
  
  











  



  
Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk56 reviews
Greg Pak

Marvel Comics, 2008

Best Hulk Story line in years
Incredible Hulk: Planet Hulk I purchased this book due to hearing a lot of praise for this storyline. This book did not disappoint. Easily one of the best Hulk stories that I have ever read. I recommend this for anyone who was ever a fan of the Incredible Hulk. The movies and a lot of the comics do not provide a good "feel" of the character. This book does that, and provides plenty of ...
  
  











  



  
X Men Icons: Rogue1 review
Fiona Avery

Marvel Entertainment Group, 2002

A Rogue fan MUST
Fiona Avery truly does a wonderful job on everyone's favorite Southern belle's start. She mentioned in an interview that she was told to leave out anything relating to Carol Danvers and the Brotherhood, but considering that, she gives life to Rogue's past, and when Rogue joins the X-Men. Rogue comes to life and draws you into her story, even bringing tears to your eyes during the third icon in ...
  
  











  



  
The Illustrated Left Behind: A Graphic Novel of Earth's Last Days (Lahaye, Tim F. Left Behind Series.)1 review
John S. Layman, Aaron Lopresti, ...

Tyndale House Publishers, 2002

my 9 year old loved this book!
I got this for my 9 year old son who has been listening to the "Left Behind" series on audio. He was delighted with this illustrated novel, and couldn't keep his nose out of it. The only down side is they don't complete the series.
  
  











  



  
Fantastical Creatures Field Guide: How to Hunt Them Down and Draw Them Where They Live1 review
Aaron Lopresti

Watson-Guptill, 2008

Fantastic is right!
When you are this demented...they call you Mister. So, in the best traditions of mental instability and creative creature cogitative processes, Mr Aaron Lopresti and his partner in tax avoidance/creature investigation , Professor Ham Fabricatini present in the grandest style conceivable (theme music please), a masterwork of imaginative, improbable, and impressive creatures of questionable ...
  
  











  



  
Captain Marvel Volume 4: Odyssey TPB3 reviews
Peter David, Aaron Lopresti

Marvel Comics, 2004

A powerful end to the series with a weak epilogue
After the "insane" storyline that filled the previous 3 volumes of this series, we see the return of the "normal" Genis. His sister (wanting to be the new Captain Marvel, if he would just give up the name) is still here. We also see the return of Marlo, Magus, Moondragon, and a few other surprises. The main baddie of this story makes it even more intense (not gonna spoil it for you). But let me ...

Ultimate X-Men Vol. 12: Hard Lessons5 reviews
Brian K Vaughan, Geoff Johns, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Slowly but surely, the Ultimate X-Men is becoming entertaining again
This collection is by far the best since Brian K. Vaughan took over as the writer for the Ultimate X-Men (since vol. 9: The Tempest collection). Hard Lessons comprises three separate stories, first seen as Ultimate X-Men issues 58-60 and the first Annual of the series. The artistic teams change for all three stories and all of them do a great job. Story 1 (issues 58): Professor Xavier finds ...
  
  











  



  
DC Universe #0 (Countdown / Final Crisis)1 review
Grant Morrison & Geoff Johns

DC Comics, 2008

A small taste of things to come
Bridging the gap between the conclusion of Countdown and the beginning of Final Crisis, DC Universe #0 is a one-shot scripted by Infinite Crisis writer Geoff Johns and Final Crisis writer Grant Morrison. More than anything else though, it not only leads into the main Final Crisis saga, but also Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds by Johns and George Perez, Final Crisis: Revelations by Greg ...
  
  











  



  
House of M: Excalibur - Prelude3 reviews
Chris Claremont, Aaron Lopresti

Marvel Comics, 2005

Only Tangentially House of M Related
This is a pretty good story, but this is being billed as a House of M Prelude, when only a handful of pages of this collection are really about the House of M thread. The vast majority of this book is about the Weaponeers doing some kind of coup in a small country and several Excalibur and X-Men members team up to stop it. It has Angel in it, Calisto, and a few other mutants that serious X-fans ...
  
  











  



  
What If? - Event Horizon (Spider-Man, X-Men)2 reviews
Jeff Parker, Peter David, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Pretty good
This vol. in the what if series compiled the issues that were released in late 2006. Unlike the other vollums this only has 5 issues instead of the usual 6. The Watcher who appears in most of series only appears in 3 of the stories. What If: X-Men: Deadly Genesis (What If Vulcan became the leader of the X-Men?): In X-Men Deadly Genisis the X-Men are stranded on the living planet known as ...
