Summary: Paperback collectors will love it
Review: Granted, the most enjoyable comics reading experience is with a full size graphic novel in color printed on high quality paper. However, some of us enjoy collecting illustrated books in the paperback format. The great majority of these ar not in color nor on high quality paper but they are great items none the less. If I could ever find a copy of Part 2 I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Summary: Excellent Story
Review: I am an avid X-Men fan but usually despise any story with Aliens in it. I was surprised when I read this story how much I enjoyed it. Wolverine and Storm are two of my favorite mutants in this story and the character development of them is great. I read this story in the Essential book so I'm not aware if this edition is extra small print or whatnot.

Summary: that other reviewer doesnt know what he's talking about
Review: I loved this book. I know it was very small and the print was tiny, but that didnt ruin MY overall reading experience. The story is one of the most original stories out of all the millions of marvel comics that come out each week. And since the book is so small, you can sneak it in your backpack and have something to read at school while a teacher is giving lectures. The only complaint I have about it it that it doesnt include the full brood saga. Its only the first part. If you want to read the graphic novels for the Uncanny X-men in order, its this: essential X-men 1, 2, and 3, the brood saga, X-men: Backpack Marvels 1 This is a good book

Summary: Give us the original in color!!!
Review: I read this when it was originally published and it was one of the best series ever printed and then I take a brief look at the black and white reprint shown here and I am aghast!! The only reason it gets two stars from me is that the story is worth the read, otherwise this looks loke a cheesy attempt by Marvel to make a few extra bucks. Do yourselves a favor and find this in color and get true enjoyment from the artwork, but if you are just casually curious you can pick this up for at least a good read.

Summary: Other options to read this story
Review: This is a good storyline originally printed in the 150s and 160s of the Uncanny X-Men comic in the early 1980s. These were some of the best years of the X-Men. The team included Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, and their friend Carol Danvers/Binary. These stories also involve the Brood, the Starjammers, Shi'ar, and Imperial Guard. Recommended. If, like an earlier reviewer, you want to avoid small pages and print, you have a least one other option (besides tracking down the original back issues or the reprints in the Classic X-Men comic from the late 1980s, early 1990s. The Brood Saga storyline is contained in two phone book-sized trade paper back books: Essential X-Men #3 and #4. ... Each also contains additional stories before or after the Brood Saga which are also quite good. The Brood and other stories treat issues of morality, slavery, mortality, and sacrifice. The comics have great depth and are also a lot of fun. The early-80s versions of space travel and alien races are great. Look for parallels with TV shows and movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, and the Alien franchise.
