Summary: a Claremont classic
Comment: The Fall of the Mutants is another one of Chris Claremont's classic stories. It takes place when the original X-Men have formed X-Force and Wolverine leads the X-Men. Storm and Forge are elsewhere. And this is when the supposed death of the X-Men happens. Very good for those of us who remember it and those who are new to it.

Rating: 5
Summary: For the fan...
Comment: One of my biggest hopes realized when this volume was released. This is the story that made me love the X-Men when I was a kid. And finally it's in one handsome reprint volume. It collects the classic "Fall of the Mutants" themed story-arcs in the X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants books. The whole thing is not a crossover, it's a themed-collection of stories. A turning point and one of the darkest eras in the X-history.

1) The X-Men dies in Dallas... in full public view.
2) The X-Factor face Apocalypse in Manhattan (in my opinion, the greatest Apocalypse story ever written and drawn)
3) The New Mutants confront issues of life, freedom and death... and loses their innocence.

What more do you need to know?

Summary: Disappointing...
Comment: I was a comic reader way back when...during what I consider the glory days of comics in the late 70s and early to mid 80s. I was a big fan of the X-men during the Byrne/Claremont years, but ran out of time to indulge my misspent youth shortly after X-Factor showed up. I'd noticed recently that the X-men seem to be everywhere, and more popular than ever, so I thought I'd give this novel a shot. Bad move. I've always enjoyed Walt Simonson's work, and Apocalypse is an excellent villain, so the X-Factor story was great. However, the X-men tale paled in comparison to the stories I remembered from the Byrne/Claremont days. These characters don't even feel like the same people that were around during the Dark Phoenix saga. It's a shame, because they're much less interesting and feel more like characters in a kid's story, where you can just make up something to solve a problem. The New Mutants storyline was difficult to comment on, since I don't really know the characters or their history. Ho hum. Also, if you're expecting three stories that are related in some way, you'll be disappointed.
