Customer Reviews

An Epic X-men Trilogy.

Let me start off by saying that these stories are very rare and hard to find if you search in local books shops around your area. Even when they were in publication, it was difficult to find these in your local Barnes and Noble and Borders Books and Music. The stories center on the Cosmic Cube and how the X-men cast of deals with the disillusioned utopia each villain creates with the artifact. The X-men cast is a very diverse one and the fans of the X-men will be sure to have their favorite character represented in these books. The first story centers on Dr. Doom, the second Magneto, and the third Red Skull [Who ends up being the most villainous of them all!]. Also making appearances in these books are classic X-villains such as Sabretooth, the Acolytes, the Mutates, the Brotherhood, and many more. In each story you'll find a baseline cast, but as they travel from dimension to dimension they'll run into their X-men teammates, but with a different spin. For example, Rogue I believe is a rebel leader in the third book. Those who love the X-men will find these stories enjoyable, as the forum of written literature is in my opinion an underrated medium when it comes to enjoying science fiction and fantasy. I mean why pay 3.00 in a comic book and getting only 30 minutes of enjoyment from it, when you can find bargain paperback books which go for the same price and get a few hours worth of entertainment out of it? Not only will that, reading books improve your grammar, spelling, and articulation.
