Fantastic Four Vs. the X-Men

Rating:
Summary: What the FF and X-Men should be.
Review: For anyone dissatisfied with Chris Claremont's current work on FF, or thirsting to see some classic Claremont work on both X-Men and the Fantastic Four, read this series. The characterization of both teams is excellent, and Claremont excels at telling an intriguing tale involving the very origin of the Fantastic Four and a vital turning point in the life of Kitty Pryde. Franklin Richards is the focus of this book, and his take on his family and on the plight of Kitty Pryde is fantastic. Read it.

Rating:
Summary: More evidence that Claremont is over-rated
Review: I can't say where this story first went wrong, but it was certainly at the point where Kitty Pryde wants to end her suffering and it takes a little child like Franklin Richards to talk her out of it. However the way he does it is done with over-written dialoge and a climax that makes the movie Batman and Robin look great by contrast.Claremont should just stop writing comics period. he has nothing to say anymore.

Summary: Best FF story ever , Thanks to Chris 'God' Claremont
Review: This mini-serie is as close to perfect storystelling as you can get . The 'Reed's diary plot' is incredible . It seems to me the FF were created only to have this one story told . The Ben Grimm/Thing pages are terrific ,highly emotional . Claremont at his very best . Plus Jon Bogdanove pencils and Terry Austin inks !
