5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, December 8, 1998

Wow...here the X-men pose on the thin boundry between excellent and awful. This documents the last few issues Claremont wrote before splitting after a 17-year span, and is, quite simply, sublime. Magneto struggles with power and nobility! The foxy Rouge returns! The competitive patter between Gambit, Wolvie and that cutie Jubellie! The sight of Wolvie riving his claws deep into Professer 'Chuck's' chest! Ah, what rapture...and the art! Jim Lee is incredible, as always. He and Liefeld pretty much started the horrendous trend of disportionate art, but Jim's at least is plausible.

To see Claremont's progress, read the first 10 or so issues in Essential X-Men #1, then read this fine collection of five issues. Make Mine Marvel (at least till '91)

4.0 out of 5 stars not a bad book, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: X-Men: Crossroads (Paperback)

it was a pretty good book, but it was kind of confusing. I got the book because i thought cyclops would be in it, but he was in it for three pages. Wolverine was in it a lot though (but not the real wolverine.)
