Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (Marvel Graphic Novels, No. 5) (Paperback)
One of the original batch of Marvel graphic novels, and well done. Some of this was of course adapted for the X-Men 2 movie in a somewhat different format. Graphic novels of this type were new and innovative then. A somewhat more adult and tragic look at racism and the tensions and violence between humans and mutants.

Excellent example of Claremont's grasp of drama and action,
By Colin D Fox (cdfox@hotmail.com) (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (Marvel Graphic Novels, No. 5) (Paperback)
God loves, Man Kills sums up many of Chris Claremont's ongoing concerns from his more than a decade long stint on Marvel's X-Men series of comic-books. Using as the central point, the character of Magneto- a tortured , complex individual who suffered through the Nazi Holocaust and later became a bitter self-appointed aggressive advocate for superhuman 'mutants' like himself, this story explores the horrors of rascism and the difficulty that people have in trying to change their behaviour and outlook. In this story, powerfully and sensitively written by Claremont and expressively illustrated by the veteran artist Brent Anderson, the rage of Magneto at the sheer hatred behind racist groups and the hypocrisy of the far right religious groups is compelling. This graphic novel gave Claremont the chance to expand his usual monthly storylines into a feature length tale- aimed more at an older readership than the usual target audience and worked wonderfully as a strong, vital a! ! nd affecting story. If you haven't read comics since you were young- start with this.

What a great X-Men adventure,

This review is from: X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (Marvel Graphic Novels, No. 5) (Paperback)
This was one of the best X-Men stories, Claremont, shows that he just may be a mutant himself with his insight into the mutant phenomenon. This story may also be the basis for the sequel to the X-Men movie, if internet rumors can be trusted. If so, I can't wait to see the movie.
