Summary: Waaaay too fluffy
Review: This is an okay story by itself, but Friedman writes as though he's talking to an audience of autistic 12-year-olds. If you skip every third paragraph, you'd get the same story and eliminate some of the tiresome and repetitive verbosity.

And WHERE THE HELL IS WOLVERINE? Does Friedman think he can ignore the existence of major X-Men characters? Not even mention them?

All in all, I'd tell you to skip this book and look to the new Batman: No Man's Land novelization by Greg Rucka for entertaining superhero fiction.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What...is going on?
Review: This was an amusing read, but not one I would really impose on others; the simple problem is that the characters spend too much time reminiscing about past battles than doing anything. This book would have been much better if it was about 100 pages shorter. If you aren't a fan of the X-men with a good deal of back ground knowledge, you won't have a clue what's going on. If you are a big fan of the X-men, then by all means, go ahead and read this, but if not, don't waste your time....

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST X-BOOKS I'VE EVER READ!
Review: Well, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first spotted this book, but the great Steranko cover sure caught my attention, and I knew that Michael Jan Friedman certainly knew his way around the STAR TREK universe. But after reading it, I can definitely say it's a great book! Alien invasions, superheroics, and the guy who crippled Professor X in the first place? Outstanding work all around!
