I got this because we had it at the library in the Boys and Girls Club where I worked and it was the book everyone wanted to read. The kids fought over who got it first. Now my own son has started getting into comic book characters, so he loves this. He's three, so it's a little advanced, but he likes to ask me about the pictures and he lets me read parts of it to him.
With a franchise as diversified like the X-Men, I don't think anyone can't create a guide to satisfy all fans, new or old. Personally I find this a very comprehensive introductory guide to the world of the X-Men. I particularly like the way they structured the guide - 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. with some information on the important sagas. If you're an old-time fan, you may find the book a bit too simple, but overall a credible effort which deserves a 4-star rating.
I used to read the comics when I was younger, but I stopped so long ago that I barely remember the stories. This was a wonderful refresher that's led me to join a site so I can read them all again.
The book arrived quickly. But was in very poor condition. The edges were all bent and the spine was broken. This was to be a Christmas gift and I was very disappointed.
This book is awesome. It was recommended to me by a friend and I am glad I bought it. A wonderful reference about the xmen. Then and now. Great illustrations.
This book is in good condition and arrived on time, I really enjoy read it because it has a lot of facts on the xmen and it is a good book for any comic fan
Fans of the X-Men will enjoy having this book to own. Filled with many details about some of the most known X-Men and their most notorious enemies.
I like to get these books because they always have a lot of information that you don't know about certain characters.
