X-Men: Fatal Attractions

Summary: The Definition of Frustration
Review: As part of the celebration of their most successful franchise, Marvel Comics orchestrated "Fatal Attractions" in 1993 to bring storylines throughout its X-Men related titles to a head. They succeeded in refocusing the X-Men on their true literary purpose (Dark Phoenix was a fantastic story... but what did it have to do with oppression?) and leaving an impact on the X-Men universe that would be felt for the remainder of the decade. Although this book features many dramatic moments, including Magneto forcing the adamantium out of Wolverine's skeleton and Colossus giving up on Xavier's dream, most compelling is easily Professor X's confrontation with Magento. Feel the frustration of 30 years gone by and no ground gained. Know the consequences of hate and broken hearts. Wish for a better world.

Summary: Sefa's Review
Review: Fatal Attractions collects X-Factor #92, X-Force #25, Uncanny X-Men #304, X-Men #25, Wolverine #75, and Excalibur #71. When Magneto returns to his Acolytes and becomes more of a threat to humanity than ever before, all of the X-teams become engaged in battle in this then shocking cross over; the effects of which were felt in the X-books for almost a decade. Many memorable moments are to be found here including the fight between Magneto and Cable which leaves Cable a bloody, ripped apart mess, Colossus betraying the X-Men and siding with Magneto, Magneto ripping the adamantium out of Wolverine's body, and the final showdown between Magneto and Professor X; the culmination of which would create the Onslaught storyline years later which crossed through every Marvel title and caused the deaths of the Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and countless other heroes. If your interested in picking this collection up, I'd go for the single issues (each of which had really cool covers with an attached hologram card) instead of this TPB. All in all, this is one of the most dramatic X-stories in years, and undoubtadly one of the best.

Summary: One of the most dramatic stories in X-Men history
Review: I can still remember the shock and amazement on my face nearly ten years ago when this storyline appeared in the X-titles. Here we see the return of Magneto, the greatest enemy of the X-Men, ready to bring his plan of mutant domination to a head. Dramatic moments are aplenty here, most of which would effect all the X-titles until the end of the decade. The scenes of seeing Magneto using his power to rip the adamantium out of Wolverine's body still gives me chills, not to mention the unforgettable final battle between Professor X and Magneto, the culmination of which would later go on in the "Onslaught" storyline that would cross through nearly every Marvel Comics title and cause the death of Avengers and Fantastic Four. All in all, "Fatal Attractions" may not be the best X-Men TPB to get, but it is very dramatic and completely unforgetable.

Summary: Possibly the greatest X-men story!
Review: This comic series has good art and action. But that's it. I'm a long time X-Men fan...and this is not the X-Men! The story totally goes against the past X-Men history. The X-Men and Magneto's actions go against their personality traits just to further an already stupid plot. The thing that made Magneto great was because he was a deadly adversary who deep down was a good man. Yet here, he is played out as totally evil and sadistic. If you're a fan of the X-Men, DON'T read this!

Review: X-men fatal attractions was a wonderful book and I liked it a lot, Marvel does a wonderful job in bringing out the action in this book and keeping me at the edge of my seat. This book puts an interesting perspective on being normal; it makes you think "what does normal really mean?" and if it's something you want to be. If you're into X-men books then this is the perfect book for you. But my favorite part of the book is the artwork. I don't know how the illustrator does it but the artwork is just amazing to look at. I would give this book a four out of five. This book begins with the son of magneto, Quicksilver, joining the X -men in a battle against his father's follower's the Acolytes. Quicksilver doesn't want to believe in the dream that his father laid down for him but then something happens so unexpected that I'm going to make you finish the book now (lots of Laughs) hehehehehehehehehe.fi
