X-Men:The End Thread

[Assassin]

I had #1 for 3 weeks now, can't get myself to read it, but i had Identity crisis for 3 hrs and i read it twice, Any ways if any one cares, what are your thoughts about it and convince me to read it

[Mr. Edward Hyde]

Meh. You'll never guess what happens. :rolleyes: Phoenix returns, but its not really what i was expecting. Storm is in like, and iron lung and i got the impression that her and wolverine had hooked up. Scott and Emma have a baby. :o

He's Scott's son, but he has already been born in the current X-Men timeline. He was sent to the future to cure him of a virus, and then returned to the present timeline. That's why he's older than Scott is now.

That's the really, really abreviated version.

I would agree, but I thought "Here Comes Tomorrow" was really weak. I'm not sure where this "The End" series is going, but I had trouble connecting with the first issue. I also really hated that Claremont included Slipstream, the lame-ass character from lame-ass X-Treme X-Men.

[Anubis]

yeah, what a........lame @$$.

It's kinda too bad Claremont opted to indulge all his little "pet" X-Men elements: The Shi'ar, Phoenix, a strong female lead, Genosha, future prophecies - all the things he goes back to again and again every time he writes the book.

The last X-Men story should be an answer to the question of whether Xavier or Magneto was right - not some prophecy-filled, sci-fi soap opera with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance. Completely misses the point of the whole series, IMO. Not impressed by the Claremont wank-fest that is issue #1.

[roach]

well since we havent seen the whole story how do you know it's not about Xavier or Magneto being right...this is a very long series...think of it like the Hobbit where a small plot device started the Lord of the Rings...this is just book one

Right. But the stage is set in the first chapter. The story can't go off on a completely different track, otherwise it'll be a disjointed mish-mash. I'm sure Magneto will show up in some way, but it's clear the overall story is going to involve the daughter of Bishop and Deathbird and the prophecy surrounding her - which will ultimately involve Phoenix and the Shi'ar. Those are the playing pieces on the board.

that's stupid.

[ThemanCyclops]

Why is that stupid? I myself am NOT a completist (I would be if it wasn't for that horrid District X series), but I can understand why one would be a completist from a collector's point of view.

[Majin Boo]

Why buy comics you don't like? it's a waste of money.

[roach]

taking my Hobbit analogy further...The Hobbit was about a group of Dwarfs and a hobbit trying to recover treasure.....The Lord of The Rings was about the Hobbit's relative trying to destroy the ring and a major war....two separate happenings.......X-men:the end book one is setting the stage which will go into book 2

cause it drives me crazy just having one issue of a series, and not the complete run

He's got an obsessive nature.

[Assassin]

2 years later, this finally ended, how was it?

[Trigger]

Bad. I'd give specifics, really I would, but it wasn't worth the two year wait. I also hate the glaring contradiction in the Third Summers Brothers plot between this and the regular titles.

[Elijya]

I think I tried the first three issues, and that was way too much. This series stunk, plain and simple

[Cyclops]

It's modern Claremont. You could tell it was gonna be bad well before it was even published.

[The Cleric]

what are ya talking about...it was a good read...and believe me, i HATE the x-men for their over-doing everything. yet, it was a great read in the end. only problem was that they did not show how cap Brit got waxed.

Brave man. I stopped at four.

[JewishHobbit]

I read it all and while I'm not one of those people to just crack on Claremont, this was probably the worst thing overall that he's done that I've read. The first 6 issues ended up kinda cool. They were an introduction to the characters and the world they were in, and then it had an awsome explosive ending. The second volume was okay, though not quite as good. The last one was just really hard to follow and cliche. It wasn't a bad idea, but I don't think the payoff was worth the long wait. In my opinion they should have skipped the space thing and kept it to earth. They should have done something with Apocalypse or a final Human Mutant war or something.

[WOLVERINE25TH]

This hadda be the biggest turd to come out of a seriesof turds ever since Claremont returned to th' X-titles. Whatever he used to have he don't no more.

[xii22_loop]

oh god, phoenix returns?? how many times does she have to come back to life. like jesus christ

[Assassin]

i only bought issue one from the first set, i said i'd wait for the trade but i forgot about it lol..thank god

[The Cleric]

i dont think it was bad. it was just to x-menish, which by that, i mean that it goes from craziness, to even more craziness. in the end, its sad to know that a threat like that was actually handle by petty mutants, instead of, i dunno, gods. but it wasnt a bad story, and if ya read all the issues, you would probably enjoy it. it was just hard waiting for each issue in a three book series.
