WARNING!! This Review May Contain Spoilers!!
If your a fan of the X-Men, then God Loves, Man Kills should be sitting on your shelf next to The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days Of Future Past, Mutant Genesis, Grant Morrison's New X-Men and the Whedon/Cassaday run on Astonishing X-Men. It's that good. For any life long X-Fan, this really is essential reading, as it truly captures the Persecussion against the mutants, without resorting to the use of the Sentinels or Bastion (however awesome they are). It's no wonder Bryan Singer used it as a partial basis for the second X-men movie.
Though this may not be for everyone, as like all of his mammoth run of the X-men, Chris Claremont's writing is incredibly wordy, and hasn't aged as well as you might think. No such problems from the art department however, as the sharp pencils and inks by Brent Anderson are brought stunningly to life by a spectactular paint job.
A true milestone in the development of modern comics, God Loves, Man Kills is still one of my faveourites.
10/10

A fantastic piece of work that looks at peoples basic fear of the unknown, paranoia runs high and the action is great, an above average outing for the X-men and sone definately worth reading.

Amazing!!!
18 July 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If I was ever going to introduce a friend or relative to the world of X-Men this is the graphic novel I would start with. Reverend Striker represents how hate and belief can form a deadly combination as he uses religion as an excuse to hide a much more personal vendetta against mutants. The story served as the basis for the second X-Men movie and the alliance with Magneto is the most indicative of this aspect. However, after viewing the movie and the material its based on I hold a clear preference for this graphic novel. This is a phenomenal piece graphic novel the stands with Claremont's best. Furthermore, it's an amazing piece of literature and you'd be doing yourself a favor by picking it up.

The X-Men have fought many villains and monsters in their run, but they've never fought one as powerful, vengeful, stubborn, intolerant and dangerously persuasive as religious bigotry. In my opinion,one of Claremont's most influential, a (comic book) story that manages to stay relevant after almost 30 years.
