X-Men: Dream's End Tpb (X-Men)

Rating:
Summary: Thanks Joss Whedon
Review: Why am I thanking the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and current scribe of Astonishing X-Men? Because he helped make this ridiculous storyarc a thing of the past when he recently brought beloved X-Man Colossus back to life, that's why. Dream's End collects various X-issues, including Uncanny X-Men #390 in which the steel skinned mutant meets his maker when he sacrifices his life to put an end to the Legacy Virus. When this storyline appeared, I was completely turned off of Marvel and other mainstream comics, and when I heard of Scott Lobdell's "brilliant" idea, I found myself justified in my decision. The issues collected in this TPB really were the end of an era: comic master Grant Morrison would be recruited to put his own original spin on the X-Men, and any of his collected editions, as well as Whedon's current issues of Astonishing X-Men, are much more worth your time then this TPB. Most of the art is solid, but in the end, Dream's End is better left on the shelf.
