5.0 out of 5 stars Mostly for the series, December 1, 2002

I don't really remember enough about the books individually but I loved the series. I'm a BIG Gambit/Rogue fan, and there was one section in the third book I LOVED. But mostly I liked meeting some of the characters I rarely read about. The guy who's searching through time to find one where his wife lives. Or Spiderman and Bishop bonding (Now there's something odd!) I really liked the series, it said a lot about the not-so-common characters and their connection with the main characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well balanced adventure, January 31, 2001

This review is from: Time's Arrow: The Past (X-Men & Spider-Man, No 1) (Paperback)

This first part of the trilogy has a good balance of story, characters and cameos. Yes, it is a story involving time travel and thus all the classic time travel elements are in the story. Some might see it as cliched - but I see it as consistent. The pairings of the heroes as well as the characters they encounter in the various time periods are well done.

One of the better novels involving super-heroes that I have read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time's Arrow Trilogy, December 6, 2000

By

This review is from: Time's Arrow: The Past (X-Men & Spider-Man, No 1) (Paperback)

This trilogy was the first X-men or Spiderman literature I ever picked up, and it must have been pretty good to get me hooked on them. EVERYTHING was great, especially the characterization. I recommend these books to anyone just getting started on comics; in between telling a complete story, they manage to get in the back-stories of every main character, plus you see just about every minor character in the Marvel Universe in one way or another.
