4.0 out of 5 stars Buffy writer does the X-Men., 1 Oct 2005
By S. Bentley "stuarthoratiobentley" (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
And does them well. Joss Whedon handles the voices and viewpoints of the characters very well, all the while offering an intriguing threat and moral dilemma. The X-Men are presented as individuals, with failings. If there is anything that you can fault this on, it's that the story is a little light plotwise and the intriguing subplot involving reformed villain Emma Frost is not resolved. As a 45 minute episode of a TV show it would work well, but as a hundred plus page story one could be forgiven for expecting a little more meat.

John Cassidy's artwork is beyond reproach, although it would be nice if there was more work on the backgrounds, but when you look at some of the pages your breath is taken away (though this may explain the lightness of the story to accomodate the art).

It's good but could do with being a little more dense.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, 23 Aug 2006
By Xepha (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
I agree with S Bentley, below. This is a well-written and superbly-drawn story that nevertheless feels as though Josh Whendon is still feeling his way as a comics writer. The pacing is just a bit too slow and he doesn't really do enough with the characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kitty is Buffy...discuss!, 19 Jan 2009
Top quality story, top quality art, top quality presentation. This large hardcover edition collects the second half of Joss Whedon / John Cassaday's run on the X-Men and it is terrific stuff, well worth the money.

The Hellfire Club storyline builds really well but (and here is where it loses a star) has no real conclusion - Agent Brand just teleports everyone away before any resolution.

The story as a whole contains the best character development ever for Kitty and Peter which helps overcome any shortcomings in Breakworld storyline (it feels a bit like Joss wanted a shot at "X-Men in Space" during his run).

But can anyone else hear Sarah Michelle-Gellar's voice when they are reading Kitty's character?
