Summary: The Best Illustration Collection
Review: CLAMP did it again. After they hit the world with their smashing manga 'Magic Knight Rayearth' plus the 'Magic Knight Rayearth Illustration Collection 1 & 2', now they're back with their best illustration collection ever made. 'X' is their best and finally they made the illustration collection for this book. X ZERO is a superb illustration collection... contains more than 100 pictures from X. The greatest illustration from the greatest manga author in this world!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X Illustrated Collection - The best artbook ever made
Review: I fell in love with this artbook as soon as I took it out of the box (it comes in a cardboard box/sleeve thingy).

CLAMP's illustrations are absolutely marvelous, and most of the pics are full page! There's at least 1 full page pic of every character, and they're all meticulously detailed, like every other CLAMP painting. I love this book! Get it!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Superb! Looking for the next one
Review: The illustrations are SUPERB!! Like always. Very details and the effects .... make anyone amazed and jealous !!! Most of X pics are in it but some are not, maybe the CLAMP will publish the X - First in the future and it is my mission to hunt it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A gorgeous, quality hardcover artbook
Review: This is a well-made, high quality hardcover artbook collecting color artwork from the manga (comic) X/1999 (as it is published in the US). X/1999 is a supernatural, apocalyptic story about destiny and choices leading toward the end of the world, written and illustrated by a team of women collectively called CLAMP. The artwork here focuses on the numerous characters. As a loose generalization, the illustrations are either elegant or bloody. The characters themselves have the delicate, slender designs of all CLAMP characters. The female character illustrations shine here: the sword-wielding priestess Arashi, the innocent Yuzuriha Nekoi, and the fire-wielding Karen Kasumi, in particular. Other illustrations, particularly involving lead characters Kamui and Kotori, are scenes of violence or impending violence. X/1999 the comic has scenes of dismemberment; none of these illustrations reach that point, but they are not all sweetness and light. If you have read any comics by CLAMP (such as X/1999 or Rayearth) and think the art looks good in black and white, these full-color illustrations will show you CLAMP can reach an even higher level. One last note: this is a Japanese book, so it opens and reads in the opposite direction (but don't worry, it sits just as nicely on a bookshelf).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clamp's best yet
Review: Truly amazing. The illustrations in this book encompase the whole range of emotions invoked by the manga, some funny, some serious, some disturbing... This is an absolute must for any Clamp fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: X-cellente
Review: Without any words, i just can say two thumbs up 4 clamp for making this art book. even if you're not a manga or anime lovers, this piece of art was worth enough to be collected.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whoa . . .
Review: WOW!! I just bought this book and it's amazing. CLAMP's artwork is truly amazing!! Every single picture is beautiful and it's well worth buying this book whether you're a fan of X or not. The details are beautiful, and if you're a lover of angels, this book is chock full of bishonen with wings!! The book is divided into different sections....some focus on Kamui, and some on the Seven Seals and Habringers. Great artwork, great book. Go buy it. You won't be sorry. ^_^
