3。5。 Good start。 But a bit slow and not as funny as I'd expect based on other Whedon's comics。 3。5。 Good start。 But a bit slow and not as funny as I'd expect based on other Whedon's comics。 。。。more

Muy divertido y más clásico que lo actual。 En la línea de las pelis de fox。

9/10Genial el guión de Joss Whedon y ESPECTACULAR el dibujo de John Cassaday (Planetary) q ya se confirma como uno de mis dibujantes favoritos!

Georgi Lyubenov

Един от най-любимите ми комикси。

I wish I would have read this before I knew what a doucher Joss Whedon turned out to be, because he’s great at writing characters。 It’s not wonder why Marvel Studios hired him to write and direct the Avengers movie。 He’s notorious for snappy dialogue, which can be obnoxious at times, but it’s not too bad here。

Toto bolo super! Nie som zase až taký fanúšik X-menov, ale toto nešlo neprečítať na jeden šup!

This book has a few 2000s moments, but man is it still solid。 5/5 stars。

What's not to love? Incredibly well-written (every time I read it I pick up on some more of the wit / humor), nice pacing getting into plot development and action, great tension throughout。 The art is incredibly well done。 I re-read Volumes 1 - 4 every year or so and continue to love it。 A must-read for X-Men fans and graphic novel readers in general。 What's not to love?

Ah, the X-men, always timeless when they hit the right notes like they do in this volume。Great starting point with no time to lose for introductions, Emma Frost is calling the shots here。

[volume 1 & volume 2 estão na mesma edição]clássico dos mutantes, “surpreendentes” é uma fase que começa com dois arcos muito bons que situam o leitor na linha do tempo e tem como foco as relações entre os personagens。 tudo!

X-Men are definitely my favourite Marvel property。 For me, the characters are more fully realised, the writing generally a lot better and the issues raised far more important and consequential。 I have plenty of X-Men comics to read now, thanks to my partners collection, and I will definitely be reading more ASAP。

A fun, breezy adventure that sets up some promising volumes。 Whedon does a good job tapping into each X-man's core - Beast is smart, doubtful and a bit neurotic。 Emma Frost is cunning, envious and ferocious。 Wolverine is wry, loyal, and brutal。 I could go on, but you get the drift。 Cassaday's art hearkens back to the John Byrne days in X-Men, with its excellent staging of characters through the panels and lots of emphasis on the characters' muscles。 The use of color also helps establish the mood A fun, breezy adventure that sets up some promising volumes。 Whedon does a good job tapping into each X-man's core - Beast is smart, doubtful and a bit neurotic。 Emma Frost is cunning, envious and ferocious。 Wolverine is wry, loyal, and brutal。 I could go on, but you get the drift。 Cassaday's art hearkens back to the John Byrne days in X-Men, with its excellent staging of characters through the panels and lots of emphasis on the characters' muscles。 The use of color also helps establish the mood of each issue。I'm definitely going to keep reading this series。 The idea of a "cure" for the mutant gene may not read as the most innovative plot (especially in the current as-of-this-writing Reign of X Krakoan era of X-Men) but it's executed cleverly。 Recommended。 。。。more

Tomo 1 de los 4 que componen la saga, aunque en este coleccionable sólo se editaron los dos primeros。Tapa grupal donde se ve a: Emma Frost, Wolverine, Cyclops, Kitty Pryde y Beast。

A killer continuation of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, the tone stays similar and the story is close, but doesn't top Morrison's previous work。 Still one of the best X-Men stories ever。 A killer continuation of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, the tone stays similar and the story is close, but doesn't top Morrison's previous work。 Still one of the best X-Men stories ever。 。。。more

Enjoyable storyline that is the return of one of my favorite mutants, the every underrated Colossus。

Mika

Pulpy but enjoyable, good characterization even when I didn’t fully understand what was happening。

This volume of Astonishing X-Men contains issues #1-6。This was my first X-Men book and I must say: I was not disappointed! It was a lot of fun with classic X-Men characters。 I thought the idea of a "cure for mutants" was such an interesting concept。 This volume of Astonishing X-Men contains issues #1-6。This was my first X-Men book and I must say: I was not disappointed!

I read this book some years ago and never got around to the other volumes。 Not sure why。 In any case, I read (and quite liked) Morrison’s X-Men run, and since this directly follows that, I figured it was time to finally tackle it in full。 And it’s very good。 Whedon elevates the interesting story about a mutant cure - and all that implies - with humor and spot-on character interactions。 This book flies by with his restrained script, tense action, and fluid storytelling。 There are no exposition du I read this book some years ago and never got around to the other volumes。 Not sure why。 In any case, I read (and quite liked) Morrison’s X-Men run, and since this directly follows that, I figured it was time to finally tackle it in full。 And it’s very good。 Whedon elevates the interesting story about a mutant cure - and all that implies - with humor and spot-on character interactions。 This book flies by with his restrained script, tense action, and fluid storytelling。 There are no exposition dumps and Cassaday’s art soars。 I’m not a big Marvel or X-Men reader, but this makes me want to explore more mutant history。 Oh, and you can tell Whedon adores Kitty Pryde, not only by bringing her back but also how she badmouths Emma Frost。 Great stuff。 On to volume two。 。。。more

Чудех се между 3 и 4 звезди, ама нали съм душа човек 。。。 Истината е ,че комиксът много ми хареса в първите си няколко части。 Героите бяха добре представени (за "развити" ми е малко трудно да говоря в комикси с многогодишна история), беше интересна цялата ситуация, както и отношенията в групата 。。。 обаче големият проблем за мен беше развръзката。 В случая това беше пукотевица, в която се появяваха нови и нови действащи лица, а действието прескачаше във времето непрекъснато。 Въобще, последните два Чудех се между 3 и 4 звезди, ама нали съм душа човек 。。。 Истината е ,че комиксът много ми хареса в първите си няколко части。 Героите бяха добре представени (за "развити" ми е малко трудно да говоря в комикси с многогодишна история), беше интересна цялата ситуация, както и отношенията в групата 。。。 обаче големият проблем за мен беше развръзката。 В случая това беше пукотевица, в която се появяваха нови и нови действащи лица, а действието прескачаше във времето непрекъснато。 Въобще, последните два броя скапаха цялото усещане。 :( 。。。more

Great story & fantastic art。 Dialogue between characters really had me chuckling。 Even with most of my favorites absent, this was still so entertaining。 X-men has had a place in my heart since I was a kid, but Joss Whedon took it to another level with this series。 Absolutely loved it! Definitely going to be picking up more to read。I had no idea when I bought a Kindle a few weeks ago that I would be getting into graphic novels; they are like a perfect match!

X-Mani si chtějí vylepšit pověst, tak natáhnou nové uniformy a vydají se zachraňovat nevinné lidi。 Ti jsou uvězněni zvláštní bandou, které velí podivný Ord。 Nikdo ho nezná, ale brzy ho poznají všichni zúčastnění。 V laboratoři byl vyvinut nový lék z mutantského genomu, který má vyléčit mutantství。 Ale je to nemoc? Potřebuje léčit? A co když de látka dostane do rukou nepravým lidem。

Илюстрациите са хубави。 Историята е нова за мен, както и част от героите
