Great story, hampered by art

ByB. Eckerton April 5, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Before I get into content, I want to point out that there are 3 volumes to this story.
New X-Men, Vol. 1
New X-Men, Vol. 2
New X-Men, Vol. 3

I found it very confusing with multiple TPBs covering the same stories- I ended up with an extra that overlapped.

All in all, the story in this is fantastic. It is very interesting take on the X-men and introduces some of the more interesting characters in years (Xorn,Cassandra Nova, Fantomex). I agree with the other review that you really need to read it from end-to-end since there are ideas and characters that require the entire series to develop.

However, the big downfall is the art. Unlike Astonishing X-men or Messiah Complex, the art in these is all over the map and often not appealing (IMHO). I powered through some of the areas but found individual issues to be quite nice.

In the end, I chose the individual volumes over the New X-Men Omnibus because I could get the three for cheaper, and I didn't mind getting used copies.

It could have been great but...

ByChun Wah Cheahon May 3, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Aah...I remember devouring the pages of "E for Extinction" at Borders when it first came out, and wondering for the first time in 10 years, whether I should end my ban on Marvel Comics. Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, what a fantastic combination! Sadly it didn't really last. New X-Men vol 1 is as good as it gets for Morrison in his X-Men run ( except for maybe the surprisingly good "Kick" story-line in vol 2 ) I would have easily given it five stars for the entire 12 issue run were it not for Igor Kordey taking over the art chores on the third to last and penultimate issues -- his style just doesn't fit the intergalactic story arc. How can you bookend the story with van Sciver and Quitely, with Kordey sandwiched in the middle, having to do the two most action packed issues? That has been the problem with this run, the stories are great, but the art is inconsistent.

A great X-men story.

ByAmazon Customeron May 18, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The stories are great and the art is good throughout with the multiple artist, all of them bringing their A game.
Morrison brings a great interesting and sometimes fun and sometimes sad tales.
The only problem I would have with it is that there is never a steady artist which is ok but if they could have had a steady one like Quitely or Sciver who are my favorite of the artist.
But in conclusion it's a nice volume looks great on a shelf and holds a good well connected story.

Morison the Magnificent

ByBismarckon February 18, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Morrison's run on Xmen is fantastic. He understands and appreciates many of the characters and fleshes out their personalities well. The only character that Morrison might have researched a tad more is Beast. In the first volume, Beast is not nearly the fuzzy blue intellectual brimming with witicisms that we all know and love. Morrison does, however, correct this by the later issues. At first, New Xmen with Morrison is a bit of a slow start, but following the storyline through to the end, you see that it was well worth it. Intricate plot lines are followed through to their logical conclusions if you read the entirety of Morrison's run. A necessary read for lovers of Whedon's "Astonishing Xmen", as many of the plot devices referred to there (such as Cassandra Nova; Emma's secondary mutation) start here. Worth reading through to the end.

A Good Place to Start

ByA. Figueroaon July 12, 2006

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this hardcover to give it a try. It collects issues #114-126 and the annual (these issues are in volumes 1 & 2 of the softback collections without the annual). Don't let the numbers fool you, this essentially starts at issue #1 as this is the start of Grant Morrison's writing on this title.

This book places emphasis on characters rather than simply having fight and explosion non-stop. Though there are many story elements carried over from elsewhere, Morrison lets the reader ease into the book, allowing one to quickly get a grasp on the past history of the X-men and follow along with the new stories he is writing. And these new stories are unquestionably defining.

I wasn't too sure of the artwork, but I knew that reading these stories would help me to understand the current Marvel universe. Previously, I have read The Dark Phoenix Saga and otherwise mostly only books published after publication of this collection. Most of the changes that have happened to the x-men since the early 90s seem to have come from the New X-Men by Grant Morrison.

I read this over one day and immediately ordered the next 3 volumes (starting with New X-Men: New Worlds). The story is good, real good. Many radical things happen to the X-men (Cassandra Nova, Genosha, Emma Frost's addition to the regular line-up, and the introduction of the Stepford Cuckoos - though their past still remains a mystery to me).

Let's just say that I acclimated to Frank's artwork. He's good, but either you like his style or you don't. I'm not fond of it, but I'll say he's good at it. While not the sole artist, he is the best in this hardcover.

If you like Morrison's New X-men run, you should read these collections afterwards: Phoenix Endsong and Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men (in that order), possibly Academy X.

This book contains a "making of" section at the back with early scripts.

Sometimes you need the valleys to appreciate the peaks. Genosha will not be forgotten.
