Editorial Review: Product Description: It's brother versus brother and the outcome could decide the fate of billions. Uncanny X-Men's "Rise and Fall of the Shi'Ar Empire" continues here! Vulcan is the Shi'Ar Emperor and Havok is leading the revellious Starjammers. But who is really right and whi is really wrong? Collects X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #1-5 Average Rating:
 Rating: - Where is this going?While I usually love the X-men in space story lines, I think sometimes the writers and editors of these books put too many pots on the stove. The events in the Shi'ar Empire will have immediate and seriously detrimental affects on the earth in the very near future. And those X-men and Starjammers who were returned to Earth are well aware of that. So, why didn't they immediately undertake to find a way to get back there? It seems to me there was time enough before the Skrull invasion became obvious. ... Read More Rating:  - BoringSorry Mister Yost but i've know way better from you. I won't say it's your fault since the initial situation was already a trap. You managed to make this readable but we only see this as a uninteresting transition : all this story could have been a summary of two pages next time we'll see the characters. You know this kind of "does this story exist somewhere? I want to read it!" feeling instead of the actual truth. For all the respect that i have for you, you deserved a better story to tell. Read More Rating: - Vulcan vs the X-menThis is a follow-up to the year long Uncanny X-men story of following the forgotten Summers brother into space to prevent him from destroying the Shi'ar Empire. Alex Summers, Lorna Dane and Rachel Grey with the rest of the Starjammers fight against Emperor Vulcan with the help of Empress Lilandra and Shi'ar forces that are loyal to her. The story could have had more - it's in space and in a totally set alone story line. The authors could have gone wild, but we get a religious sub story that ... Read More Rating:  - Strong follow up to "Rise and Fall..." First thing you should know before considering this is that you HAVE to have read Brubakers "Rise and fall..." to know whats going on here. Having said that i really feel like this was a satisfying follow up. It seems as though this is going to be a bridge to a 3rd and larger chapter because it does leave you hanging at the end. (same way "rise and fall..." did) This story centers around Havok and the starjammers and their quest to bring down the insidious Vulcan who now happens to rule the Shia'r ... Read More Rating: - SnoozefestAnother pointless space drama that leaves us right where we started. More of the same old rehashed X-men plot threads. The third summers brother, another phoenix, Polaris back from the crazy-house again. Non-stop space battles, energy bolts left right and centre, dramatic poses. YAWN! Does anyone really care about Vulcan? I don't. He's a bit like a hack version of Tetsuo from Akira but only a fraction as interesting. It wouldn't have been so bad if Vulcan died at the end, but all you ... Read More
