it offered a brief stint into the past lives of rogue, wolverine, and magneto. Being an x-fan, i can tell you that most of this book is very innacurate. Either the writer didnt do much research, or he meant it to be much unlike the comic book series. I do believe that this book is meant to be a "prequel" for the upcoming movie. But if that is so, the movie will be very innacurate also. For instanct, wolverine and storm joined the x-men at the same time, when in this book, it suggests that storm preceded wolverine in her membership. There are many other innacuracies. But to be positive, all 3 stories are very well written and have excellent plots. the art is good too. If you can look past the inaccuracy of it, you will like this book.

I'm an X-Men fan, and I have been for many years. With slight trepidation and nervousness I went and saw the movie...I LOVED IT!! Stupid me, in my haste to read a written novelization of the movie, I ordered this 'book' with mighty expectations. I expected a written adaptation of the movie...sort of like what Terry Brooks did for SWI: The Phantom Menace.

Nope, this is not a book revealing the innermost thoughts of the characters...It's a glossy comic book...and the art wasn't even that great.

While I love comics, this thing fell flat as far as I'm concerned...I gave it away to a friend...who later threw it into the donation dumpster at Goodwill.

This book was so great. I won't explain why it was so good because I don't want to ruin the book for anybody! Read it if you want to get prepared for the X-Men Movie or if you're an X-Fan!
