While I was disappointed that we didn't have the Spidey/Bishop team-up of the first two books, I still loved Book 3 of Time's Arrow. It was great seeing the X-Men 1998 fighting the X-Men 2099, and I liked the way they worked in Gambit's personal history in the climactic scene. And I like this version of Spider-Girl even better than the MC2 version!

well, i must say that this trilogy comes to a nice conclusion. the problem i've noticed with this trilogy is that the authors did not spend enough time character development. This is a great format to dive into the characters, but the authors didn't seem to take advantage of that. oh well, maybe next time.

As much as I like comics, sometimes the fast action and rushed storyline that you find in a comic make their way into novels where they do not work very well. That's the same here. Tom DeFalco must have been planning a marvel comic book story rather then a Marvel novel because here he takes the X-Men and Spider-Man, The Guardians of the Galaxy, some of the 2099 heroes, and the rest of Marvel's future heroes and puts all into one book where there is little character development and too many things happening all at once which serves only to confuse the reader as to what's really going on. The climax is boring and uneventful too!

I really liked the way this book is written. its a real page tuner.

I very much enjoyed the teaming of the Web Slinger and the Uncanny Xmen
