Summary: EVERYTHING!
Comment: This book, is a GREAT resource for X-Men fans from all ages, it has tonnes of pics, and it gives you history on many teams and characters from the comics. It has a part about the movie, and the animated series. It has pictures of villains and heroes, and even pics and info from editions like the Phoenix Saga, Age of Apocalypse, and Weapon X! It has 'X-Timelines' it shows you pics of important X-Men related comic books during the years, like when the first Gambit series came out, to the X-Men Manga series, it's a GREAT book!
Rating: 4
Summary: Pretty good except.............
Comment: It should have been less a book with pictures and the history as a comic book, and more like a soap opera scrapbook!
Think of it, people. If you have read the All My Children, General Hospital, or The Young and the Restless scrapbooks, you'd see what I mean. It should cover all the years from 1963 to the time of it's publication, full of pictures, an entire cast list of characters and their exact years in the comics, sidebar info, and written paragraphs of each issue since #1 (1963) to whatever issue was last before publishing this book. (As I speak, it's up to Uncanny X-Men #395, August 2001.) After all, the comic books are like soap operas and vice versa!
It should do an Uncanny X-Men scrapbook, then X-Men (now called New X-Men, stupid title), Wolverine, X-Force, X-Factor/Mutant X (even though it cancelled) Generation X (also cancelled) and others.
If it had done that, I would have given this book 5 stars instead of 4.
Rating: 4
Summary: Maybe not quite "Ultimate"
Comment: I have to admit, this book is nice. The layout is good, the pictures are good, and it does cover a lot of basic information about the main characters in the X-Men series. Also, the drawings of the layout of Xavier's mansion, the Danger Room, and the Blackbird were very nice. But if you're more than a beginner and looking for in-depth info on the characters, you won't find it here. Somebody should write a reference book for those of us who already know how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton or that Beast wasn't always furry!
