Rating: - Startling terrible
I can barely slog my way through this book. Heavy on dialogue, light on sense, plot, story. This is the reason that the X-men needed a reboot, which thankfully was done by Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon. This book is a horrific collection of stories written by Chris Claremont, Scott Lobdell, sadly, Robert Weinberg and Joe Pruett, both of whom show much more talent when not doing X-men comics.
Rating: - Very Morbid book
Not just Collosus dies in this book. This book is full of death of long time x-men characters. As for quality, this book seems typical of the late 90s art styles.
I don't know if it was for all of them, or just a defect on mine, but on a few pages there were errors of printing, that the word bubbles on 2 pages were flipped.
It's on ok book, but there are lots of better X-books out there. The final issue of the book, with Kitty Pryde delivering Peter's ashes to Russia is 5 stars ... Read More
Rating: - good read
If, like me, you've followed the x-men stories from the beginning you'll probably enjoy this little arc, the story is pretty much classic x-men, aliens, overly-dramatic relationships, a bit of odd mysticism, nothing surprising or new here, the art is good, Emma Frost(much as I despise her) is particularly well-drawn, and the little twist in the Rogue/Wolvie relationship is worth the price of the book, hell the cover alone is worth it. If youre new to the x-men universe there are definitely better stories ... Read More
Rating: - A rare miss by Milligan
If you're a fan of Peter Milligan, as I am, you may want to skip this trade (and in fact his entire run on X-Men). It is nothing like X-Factor/X-Statix, and nothing like his Vertigo work. Quite frankly it's awefully similar to every other X-Men writer since Lobdell that can't really find their own voice and just try to take the Claremont formula and throw some EXTRA angst and in-fighting in. Granted, this story has a reason for more in-fighting than usual, but still... this is merely middle of the road, ... Read More
Rating: - A Worthwhile Read
I was initially put off of purchasing this story arc because of somewhat negative reviews but was eventually swayed by the presence of Polaris - an X-Man that I think is quite underused - and my two favourites, Remy LeBeau and Rogue. I'm glad I chose to buy Golgotha because I found it to be very intruiging! It's not perfect of course, few graphic novels are, but it's got some very interesting character arcs involving Rogue and Gambit's relationship and, the moment when a thousand fangirls rejoiced, a kiss ...
