More About the Author
Clamp, stylized as CLAMP, is an all-female Japanese manga artist group that formed in the mid 1980s. Many of the group's manga series are often adapted into anime after release. It consists of their leader Nanase Ohkawa, who provides much of the storyline and screenplay for all their works and adaptations of those works respectively, and three artists whose roles shift for each series: Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi. Almost 100 million Clamp tankōbon copies have been sold worldwide as of October 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The quintessent comic book series...,
By A Customer
This review is from: X/1999, Vol. 4: Intermezzo (Paperback)
X (or X/1999) by Clamp is the perfect union between words and art, the kind that is prominently missing from American work. The storyline is rich, layered, and intricate, and the art is immaculate, with theological symbols from at least five different religions. However, the work is undeniably dark...it is about the end of the world, after all. Still, there are moments of exquisite beauty also, and the characters are always attractive. But, if seeing those characters ripped into six pieces with their bowels spilling out is not your cup of tea, I advise you to pass this one up. A final word of warning. X/1999 is an ongoing series. In Japan, they are in their thirteenth volume, and it is expected by some to run at least to twenty-two. Here, Viz has compiled the first four books that have been translated into English and has, inexplicably, stopped. If you think that you might get addicted, it may be better to stay away. Nonetheless, I recommend it to anyone who loves this sort of media, and even those who think that they do not. It will not disappoint.

A Must Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: X/1999, Vol. 4: Intermezzo (Paperback)
This is, by far, the best comic series from Japan being translated today. The story line is rich and the artwork is stunning. While the story line isn't for everyone (about the end of the world), it's well presented and thought-provoking. The graphic novels are a must for those who are fans of the on-going monthly series presented in the publisher's Animerica Extra comic anthology (I think the next book is about to be relased in the next couple of months.). I recommend this book and series for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking stories, for anyone who enjoys gorgeous artwork, manga fans and comic fans in general.

X/1999... a must have for anyone who has seen the movie. It explains a lot that the movie never did. but it does seem to trail on a bit ^_^
