3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't really add anything else to the story, May 13, 2007

This review is from: Civil War: X-Men (Comic)

One thing you may have noticed while reading Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's much hyped Civil War is that the X-Men are barely in it. Well, this Civil War tie-in featuring Marvel's merry mutants attempts to answer why they were sitting on the sidelines, but doesn't really add anything else to the story. With Wolverine on the hunt for Nitro, the villain whose acts ignited (literally) the beginning of the registration act, the X-Men find themselves at odds with each other, as well as various factions of the warring sides between Captain America and Iron Man. With futuristic mutants like Cable and Bishop choosing sides in the Civil War, Cyclops, Emma Frost, and crew have some tough choices to make. While there's nothing particularly bad about Civil War: X-Men, writer David Hine doesn't add any kind of new dynamics or anything relatively original to the proceedings. The book features solid art which doesn't make it a complete downer, but one figures that one of the most popular franchises in Marvel's stable would have gotten a better treatment than this. All in all, for Civil War buffs, this is certainly not the worst tie-in available, but it won't kill you to save it for last to pick up or not pick up at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars it's good, but..., January 29, 2008

This review is from: Civil War: X-Men (Comic)

You know, I'm up and down about the whole Civil War arc. The main books are really good, but many of the ancilliary books aren't so much. The X-Men book doesn't really add to the Civil War story (and it is a shame to see my favorite book sit it out, especially since they are effectively fighting against registration). But they just don't do much here. I suppose part of the problem is that I haven't read much of the X-Men in the last few years so I'm out of touch. Still, it is worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spinning Out of House of M, Not Civil War..., August 8, 2007

This review is from: Civil War: X-Men (Comic)

While this is hyped as the X-Men "Civil War" tie-in, it's really more of a sequel to David Hine's awesome Decimation :X-Men - the 198 series. Sure, the "Astonishing X-men" team shows up here (along with Iron Man and Ms. Marvel), but the real story is O*N*E vs. the 198. If you've followed everything that has spiraled out of "House of M," you'll enjoy the plotline here. If you're looking for a "Civil War" tie-in, though, this isn't going to make much sense and you'll probably be let down.
