Summary: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Comment: ...are three probable titles to the X-Men related short stories featured within. This anthology book is one of the better ones I've read, with some talented writers adding their voice to the X-Men history. It has some really excellently written battle sequences and the stories primarily take place in the X-Men's past. It also has those stories that have you groaning in pure agony. (How do some of these people get published?! Good Grief! Don't ruin my favorite character! Did you even *read* the comics?!) Without taking away the suspense, one such story is about how Jubilation Lee goes ga-ga over an Olympic ice skater and saves him from certain death while sporting a red velvet skating costume. Jean and Rogue sparked the interest while poring together over the recent championship footage on tape. How often do Rogue and Jean hang out together like cooing girlfriends and chit-chat about the wide world of figure skating? It was an inept excuse to write about figure skating and get published in an X-Men anthology.
Despite the rough spots, the book has more good tales than bad, and certainly fairs better than most comic anthologies published. It is worth it for a rabid fan who wants more history, more insight, and more attention on their favorite characters.

Summary: Mixed bag of treats.
Comment: This is a collection of 13 short separate stories. They each feature a different team member as the main character and the stories vary in focus. From action to tears, from humor to courage and self examination. Some are well written,(Peace Offering and Once a Thief come to mind) and others are quite forgetable,(The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of was very dissapointing). To this mix add the wonderful introduction written by Stan Lee telling how the idea for the Xmen was concieved and you get a book worth buying.

Summary: Great Anthologly
Comment: I read this book and I thought it was pretty good.At first I didn't read some of the stories like One Night Only,Diary of a False Man,Once A Thief,A Fine Line,and Steel Dogs and Englishmen.After I finally read the whole book it was a pretty good anthology. My favorite stories were Chasing Hairy and Ice Prince.
