Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Colossus, Nightcrawler and more - gathered together by telepath Professor Charles Xavier, the X-Men are sworn to protect a world that hates and fears them. Ever expanding their ranks, the Children of the Atom combat evils threatening both mutants and humans - including the Morlocks, the Hellfire Club and the alien Brood. Collects Uncanny X-Men #162-179 & Annual #6 and X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Graphic SF ReaderNasty alien monsters, Storm and the Morlocks, Cyclops solo, Wolverine in Japan. The legend continues. Some of the best X-Men stories are set in space, and you could I suppose view the whole thing as a form of space opera. That being said, when Wolverine and/or one or two of the others venture into Japan those are usually very good, as well. No different here. Rating:  - Graphic Novel junkieOk, ok, I should say comic book junkie, because that's what they were called when I first started reading them some decades ago. This whole series of Essential X-men books are a fun read unless you get bogged down in details. I never did, I just enjoyed reading them. This is a great book. Enjoy Rating: - Essential X-Men Volume 4This tome contains Uncanny X-Men #s 162-179, plus the Annual #6--which means this collection represents when I joined the X-Men for regular thrills.

The Brood story (actually, the end of the Brood story arc, which began in Essential X-Men 3 evidently) was pretty good. The artist, or artists, were talented, the story was pretty intelligent. THe only real problem was that it stated that Carol Danvers was implanted with a Broodqueen embryo, when there was no point in the story when that could have happened. But other than that, the story was good, and it hung together okay. ... Read More Rating: - The Uncanny X-Men soar even higher Chris Claremont really put the team through its paces in these issues. At the time, this was still the only X-Men comic on the stands. The New Mutants, and the avalanche of X-titles it would usher in, had not yet made its debut. So, as the sun set on this last great time in X-Men history, Claremont, Paul Smith and John Romita, Jr. strode like giants over its epic landscape. The X-Men are all over the world in these stories, ever on the go as they respond to threats from without and within. ... Read More
