I have been a pretty big fan of X-men for along time but I was never into reading comic books. So it's a good guess to say that I know only a little bit of history behind the X-men. I bought this book expecting it to have more info on the game and less history behind the X-men. But I was wrong, instead it's pretty much made for both the gamer and the interested reader. It talks about all the different branches of the X-men and most of the characters, both past and present. The illustrations are also excellent and up-to-date. I totally recommend this book to anyone who has any X-men questions, it is very informative.

If you ever wanted to know the history of any of the X-Men characters, (new or old) but didn't have the money for past comic issues, this is worth it! They have team discriptions of the Reavers, the Hand, MLF, New Mutants, Alpha Flight, Hellions! Everyone from Professor-X to Maggott!

This book has evry x-men from the saga seris. it gives really good info and helps u learn about them.

Obviously the authros didn't properly research the comics to write this sourcebook. Don't get me wrong, it's a difficult task to keep track of all these characters and things will get dated fast. But there are some obvious flaws that I've had to rewrite. Otherwise, it's pretty thorough and has groups like the MLF, Acolytes, Morlocks, and Marauders. Although, the Morlocks is missing a huge amount of members and obvious people are missing (like Wildside from the MLF, Milan from the Acolytes, etc.) The good thing is that it included a lot of people currently in Marvel Limbo. Karma, Dazzler, etc.

Has acurate detailed descriptions of the marvel characters. Well written and has a nice odor
