4.0 out of 5 stars A great WILDC.A.T.S. graphic novel!!, November 21, 2001

Don't pay any attention to the reviewer that said the whole WILDC.A.T.S. graphic novel was cliched, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
This is the first WILDC.A.T.S. graphic novel I've read and a very good one at that!! This WILDC.A.T.S. story explores more of the mysterious origin of the alien warrior member of the WILDC.A.T.S., who is the last of her kind, Zealot. In this story Zealot confronts an evil enemy from her past that even she is afraid of, the evil alien sorceress, Tapestry. Zealot must have the full cooperation of the WILDC.A.T.S. team in order to defeat her, or the earth will be plunged under Tapestry's complete control. Plus, the WILDC.A.T.S. not only have Tapestry to deal with, but also these vile shape-shifting aliens that are similar to Daemonites in that they possess other beings and take over their bodies and minds!
I'm sure that any WILDC.A.T.S. fan, like myself, would absolutely love this great graphic novel!!

This review is from: WildC.A.T.S: A Gathering of Eagles (Paperback)

This volume collects Wildcats 10-13 vol.1. -the best issues that of the Wildcats. Chris Claremont does a good job writing and gives an interesting and well developed plot that was not done before or since. My favorite (and the only reason I bother with the book) WC character is Zealot. This story places a multi-dimensional side to her and gives some further background to her and introduces a family member. I own two copies of this book and several copies of the individual issues. There was a short excerpt in issue 13 which illustrates the background between Tapestry and Zealot which was not included in the graphic novel which is a shame. I also think that this issue provides some of the best art work Jim Lee ever did. Very cool and sexy.

I bought this because I enjoyed Chris Claremont's first run on the X-Men, and other books that take place in the "Wildstorm" universe. Unfortunately, "Eagles" consists of rather boring, clichéd action hero type characters fighting more boring, clichéd characters for reasons that failed to ever peak my interest. The "plot" consists of nothing but battle after battle, yet the fights aren't even interesting. Despite being shallow, it's actually something of a chore to read, as I found myself having to occasionally reread a page to make sense of the action.

Uninspired dialog, uninteresting, almost two dimensional characters, and a complete lack of a real story make for some pretty boring reading. Claremont can do better, and so can you.
