5.0 out of 5 stars
the only ultimate x-men volume i've kept,
By pig doctor (cali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate X-Men Vol. 8: New Mutants (Paperback)
Out of the Ultimate X-men titles, I've read volumes 1 and 2 (issues 1-12), volume 7 (where Bendis began writing, and continued with this volume), and volumes 9-11 (with Brian K. Vaughn writing). This was the only volume with impact enough to keep me entertained while pushing me to view life from disparate perspectives. The writing is as brutally honest as an X-men book can be. The tough-for-the-sake-of-it teen angst attitude that plagued Millar's run (as far as I read) is gone in the place of a much needed level of maturity. A lot of X-men books exist in a world of moral ambiguity, with the heroes making tough decisions in completely gray areas. One of the issues in this collection exemplifies that tradition more profoundly than any other X-book I've read.

BMB leaves with a bang,

This review is from: Ultimate X-Men Vol. 8: New Mutants (Paperback)
This arc features the introduction of Angel and Dazzler and the death of Beast. This is the best since Return of the King, alot of dialogue and probably the best characterization in all of this is Storm she was just amazing. Nothing to special here just Bendis being Bendis and David Finch being amazing.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Continuous deja vu,
By danny boy "dbswongv" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate X-Men Vol. 8: New Mutants (Paperback)
With so many X men titles out there, there is bound to be overlaps in continuity. Anyway, I digress.
This issue features the introduction of Angel, Warren Worthington, to Xavier's mutant academy. Nothwithstanding the fact that Angel was in the original X-men line-up long before Storm, Wolverine, Emma Frost etc, this is playing Havoc with the Marvel chronology. The story is that of the President appointing another team of mutants to counter the growing influence of Xavier. Hank McCoy, appearing as the blue Beast, is killed off here by a Sentinel. I can't help but notice that all the men (and women) are drawn looking like Leonardo DiCaprio.
