This is the run that invented Phantom X and his exoskeleton spaceship buddy. This is probably my favorite X-men run with that said I haven’t read a ton of X-men but I am a big Morrison fan.
Love this run, I bought it in trade at a con for 20 dollars for the lot. I realized why it was 20 dollars when the first trade fell apart. It was still readable but I can’t reread it because all the trades fell apart :(
Totally agree. When he said the art was better on the second half I spit my drink out all over my keyboard. That is shocking to say the least. Read Jupiter's Legacy and All Star Superman. Those books are awesome!
Grant Morrison has a trinity of the best super-hero team runs: Doom Patrol, JLA and New X-Men. These runs show the potential for all heroes and their exploits. If anyone is watching Doom Patrol they are pretty much adapting his run for the small screen. Overall these are great stories that almost anyone can enjoy. They should not be missed!
Some of the art doesn't look that great and is what keep me from getting the book for so long but maybe it's just a few panels that don't look that great.
I bought this when drunk in Shanghai in October after coming back pissed off from Comic Con (it was absolutely shite here in Shanghai). Not really read any X Men before, so not sure what to expect. Grant Morrison, I have heard can be difficult to follow. Not read this one yet, but it's a toss up between Gotham Central, Planetary or this next.
Cool, I've just finished Barefoot Gen so I might go for this one next. Man, you have so many decent videos up that sometimes it's hard to choose what to read next. I think when my studying is over (beginning of May), I might make my own channel in the same vein as your one, though my collection is nowhere near as extensive as yours. What video camera do you use, and do you make use of microphones or just rely on the cam mic? It's a great hobby you have Gem, on top of the collection of hardcovers and figures.
What if you do a not-so-recent reads of Wolverine and the X-Men. An omnibus I'm waiting for a reprint of. Would love to know your thoughts and feelings of that book.
Man,just noticed your copy is sperating at the spine. Hope you were able to repair or replace it by now. I'm also kind of a hater for the art in this series and am kinda conflicted on if I want to read it or not.
@@GemMintCollectibles fair enough as long as they continue to hold together. At least it seemed to be doing better then that old I think it was a Miller Daredevil omni you had back in the day.
the last thing that can be said about frank quietly's art is that it is sloppy! he is one of the all time greats... anyway great review and you've got to read the invisibles and doom patrol omnibuses. they are considered morrison's masterpieces!
Maybe I'm not looking at the same art or mistaking frank quietly for someone else doing work in this book....but all this art I've seen....not a fan of it at all.
