I honestly can't understand why this series was cancelled because of funding issues, surely it had proven popular to justify any cost concerns?
Anyway, the series ends on a high note as old characters return and a three part finale depicts X-Men present and future, fighting against threats of mutant decimation. It's a stunning climax and an excellent end to a series that is pprobably the best animated protrayal of the X-Men yet, since the original animated series clung too hard to the comics and the animation looks too dated now, and Evolution was good but too high-school drama at times.
Wolverine and the X-Men strikes the perfect balance of action, drama and comedy, an excellent series that has many nods to X-Men comic lore but remains unique in its own right.
Again, X-Men purists may not like this show but this series is definitely entertaining to its fans and younger audiences, and is worthy of a place on their DVD shelves.
If you've got the previous three volumes, buy this. You will not be disappointed, except by the fact that there aren't any more episodes coming.

While this was a good X-Men cartoon, it did get bogged down in a particularly boring storyline that borrows from, amongst other actual X-Men comics, the Days of Future Past two parter from the last days of Christ Claremont and John Byrne's classic 1970s and 1980s Uncanny X-Men, where the almost of the X-Men have been hunted down and killed by Sentinels in a dystopian future set in an alternate timeline (see also, Inferno, the brilliant Jon Pertwee Dr. Who story).
The concept that Wolverine is now the reluctant leader of the X-Men after an unexplained incident struck down Xavier and made Jean (Phoenix) suddenly disappear would have been sufficient a premise if Xavier, in a coma in the present day and being nursed in the X-Mansion, wasn't also present in the aforementioned hideous, nightmarish alternate timeline/dimension as well as being psychically able to advise Wolverine on how to prevent the situation occurring in the future by preventing Mastermold going online, etc.
Too much time in each episode was spent showing Xavier padding around with the likes of Marrow and Bishop and not enough on present day escapades such as the MRD (Mutant Registration Department) rounding up mutants under the direction of Senator Trask and so on. In other words, too grim and depressing. An interesting sub-plot with Magneto, in Genosha (yawn), working behind the scenes in order to make things difficult for not just Homo Sapiens but also the good mutants, might have added some much needed zip instead of unwanted Zzzz. If there had been more of this kind of Magneto malarky then the series may not have been cancelled. As it was, with too many similiarities to the superior 1990s X-Men cartoon series, this outing dragged itself to a miserable end, i.e. cancellation.
Which is a shame as, being an old fanboy, I absolutely LOVED seeing Quicksilver zipping around in his original green Lee & Kirby-era green Brotherhood of Evil Mutants costume, as well as a cameo by the Juggernaut. Oddly enough, Storm was a minor player here, too. Why?
Still, getting these discs off Amazon at a cheap price more than makes up for the disappointment. What next for our merry Mutants in animation, I wonder?

this is a good collections of X men and the quality is comparable to the 90s series. You have to get used to wolverine being the leader. otherwise great ahow especially the last 3 episodes ending the entire season's arc. Wish they make another but not the age of Apocalyps.

End of the road
The series ends on a high with the mutant/human war finally coming to a climax. The one and only problem is that it won't be back for a second series as it got cancelled. Read more
