Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to sequential art, comics lovers. This was pretty spectacular. It's great in no small part because of Jean's narration. No, really! This is not the boring Jean of later years.
She's funny, somewhat irreverent, and actually talks like a normal teenager. So do the rest of the characters, even Scott. And yes, Scott is terribly serious, but it's actually kind of sad to see. A lot of the book revolves around teenager problems, but let's face it: if X-Men had only been about fighting evil mutants, the property wouldn't have lasted this long.
It's the soap opera and the relationships that keep us coming back for more. I also really liked that the book is generally pretty critical of Xavier, even if nothing can effectively be done at this point. I don't buy into the sainthood edit that he often gets. His "let's fight bigotry by creating a small army! For a book to actually point this out, and in the voice of one of his earliest "students"?
That's pretty awesome to me. Because let's face it, it actually is really iffy that Xavier would use his psychic abilities to force the parents of his "students" to send them to a school that isn't actually a school, because they don't seem to get any kind of education at all.
Right, back to this actual book. Although the interpersonal relationships on the team are the main point, there's still some action and adventure. I'm not sure about everything, but at least the first major outing, fighting Magneto at a military base, is taken directly from early X-Men comics, so I have no doubt the others are, too. Because these aren't the point of this particular book, those adventures are sometimes choppy and lacking in context.
Like the Savage Land bit, which is awesome despite missing a beginning and an end. It's like one or two scenes taken from a much larger story. In this case, it didn't bother me, because I was much more concerned with the other stuff going on. Truth be told, discovering that he did the art was what convinced me to give this a shot. I just really like looking at his work.
Turns out, that was a very good choice. Mar 07, Anthony rated it it was amazing Shelves: x-men , digital. The season one line from Marvel never interested me much when they first came out, because they just seemed like original graphic novels that were pretty much retelling the origins of the title characters in a modern setting. There was also the price point. Too much for too little Turns out, that's kinda what this one is, without going too much into the origin.
But it's still a fun read. It's told through the point of view of Jean Grey, who was the last of the original five to join the team. It The season one line from Marvel never interested me much when they first came out, because they just seemed like original graphic novels that were pretty much retelling the origins of the title characters in a modern setting.
It cuts throughout between their encouters with some early villains and all the teenage drama stuff going on between the team while they're at the school. It was great seeing this through Jeans point of view, since she was new to the team and the only girl so was the most 'outsider' type of the five.
The teenage drama stuff is the best stuff, because Hopeless and Mckelvie really capture what it's like to be that age, as well as having to deal with the super powers. I guess this one comes down to how you feel about Jamie McKelvies art. I'm one of the people that really likes his style, so it was great to see him do an X-men story were they're in the original costumes. When they're out of costume, he makes them look trendy and sometimes boarders on hipster.
But they look how they're supposed to: young people. It's a good companion piece to his Young Avengers work. Partly because I miss seeing McKelvie draw Marvel characters, and also because this is a really good book Dec 23, Nicolo rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. When Marvel's all new line of graphic novels was announced back in , there was skepticism on whether the company needed to retell the iconic stories when it could surely reprint those Silver Age stories easily.
If you could forgive the outdated fashion, hairstyles and figures of speech, those seminal Stan Lee and Kirby stories are the foundation of the Marvel Universe and some of those stories still held held up pretty well after half a century.
Still, I understand that Marvel wanted to pack When Marvel's all new line of graphic novels was announced back in , there was skepticism on whether the company needed to retell the iconic stories when it could surely reprint those Silver Age stories easily.
Still, I understand that Marvel wanted to package their most iconic characters in the spiffiest graphic novels that could capture the essence of these characters in a hundred pages or so and capture a new modern and younger audience. Writer Dennis Hopeless made Jean Grey the point of view character, which is appreciated. It has been years since Jean Grey was in comics and she is terribly missed by fans.
It was a new perspective on the classic stories. I loved the modern retro chic vibe infused by Jamie McKelvie in the character designs and art. It seemed appropriate because this was early on in the budding careers of the X-Men. The first Season One book I read and I'm impressed. Marvel could do no wrong rebooting the X-Men First Class title with these two gents.
Dec 23, Justin rated it liked it. A little silly at times and the first half was really weak in my opinion. It redeemed itself in the second half, but this probably wasn't the best jumping off point for me to get into X-Men. But that new Deadpool trailer today Then X-Men Apocalypse. Hateful Eight comes out soon. That DiCaprio movie next year. Joy opened today.
Star Wars happened. Is happening. It's a great time to be a movie fan right now. Does this count as a review? View 1 comment. Jul 16, Nicholas rated it really liked it. So I'm not really a Marvel guy, but listening to Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men has created this burning desire to catch up on at least the x-titles in this universe - which is really strange to me, because even when I was paying attention to Marvel very briefly in my youth, the X-Men were probably the least interesting to me I was always a Peter Parker kind of guy.

I'm a bit of a completionist, so one thing that's intimidated me about delving into Marvel besides the enormous amount of camp is the enormous amount of retconning and the frequency for crossover events that the franchise has. The X-Men seem to suffer from the revolving door of death more so than any other title in comics, so getting up to speed with them seems more complicated than with other titles.
Plus, there are a massive number of affiliated titles from Wolverine and the X-Men to New Mutants and X-Calibre , so keeping track of all the threads seems downright impossible.
A quick google search for X-Men Chronology turns up a host of different sites that are incredibly thorough and impossible for the uninitiated to follow. Enter Rachel and Miles. Their podcast is in the midst of a near-sequential recap of the X-Men's history and they just wrapped a couple on the Dark Phoenix Saga which I remember from the 90s cartoon days and they're constantly flooded with questions like mine.
Where do I begin? The title sticks with the spirit of the history and updates the re-telling for the modern age. Hopeless narrates the early days through the eyes of Jean, who's the newest addition to the Xavier School for Gifted Children, and I have to say, it was a pretty wonderful choice.
The X-Men are teenagers and crazy shit is happening to them, and to Hopeless's credit, they react in typically teenage fashion - they squabble, form love triangles or confused quadrangles , they deal with crushing self-doubt and identity issues, they eat a ridiculous amount of fried foods. This title is absolutely fun and is more about the early dynamics of the group and adolescent coming of age than strict continuity and as someone looking to discover ties to the franchise after having tepid feelings about the group at best, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
It's funny, it's touching and it exposed me to the original crew in a memorable way. For me the "original" crew will always include Storm, Colossus, Wolverine and Jubilee. Of all the characters I think I liked Iceman the best. Iceman fulfills the role of the "heart" of the team and there are several wonderfully poignant moments where the character supports and encourages the growth of the more well-known and "powerful" team members.
He's a bit of an air head, but you gather by the end that it's also a bit of an act as he seems more emotionally in-tune with the team than any of its other members - including Professor X, who contrary to his portrayal in the 90s cartoon, is more than a little bit of an asshole. This manipulative adult co-opts impressionable young people at the fringes of society who are at their most vulnerable to his crusade and I liked that the book didn't shy away from that.
In the end, Xavier is just as manipulative and detached as Magneto. He's demanding, unsympathetic, and kind of creepy. In Jean's words, "He's a manipulative and snobby fake. He loves hearing himself talk. And I'm pretty sure he reads our minds way more than he says.
Ultimately, Hopeless creates a zany and crazy world into which he thrusts ordinary teens and creates an atmosphere of mutual aid and support. A family. Well done. The only real question is: where do I go from here? I have no interest in reading Silver Age stuff and a lot of the current political stuff involving the schism does interest me, but it seems sufficiently complex to the point where I don't feel like just jumping in and I don't think Rachel and Miles are going to get there any time soon.

Okay, so I wondered why an X-Men book so clearly marketed to younger, new fans wouldn't have a higher rating? I thought I'd love it and there's art by Jaime McKelvie, one of my top 5 artists.
No way I wouldn't love this, right? My problem with some of the X-Men books I've read, and even some Avengers books, is the focus on the dudes. Don't get me wrong, a lot of my faves are dudes but I roll my eyes when we get the dreaded sea of dudes with 1 girl line ups. The original X-Men team was Angel Okay, so I wondered why an X-Men book so clearly marketed to younger, new fans wouldn't have a higher rating?
I get that but you have an opportunity to scrap that and add some more ladies. Let's get into the story, this book takes the original X-Men origin story and pushes it into ? I'm not sure. Anyway, you have characters from the 60's holding iPhones.
It was a bit jarring. You know the drill, Jean comes to Xavier's after her parents get mind whammied a bit. I'll get into how all over the place Jean's characterization is.
