Explanation As Books New X-Men by Grant Morrison: Ultimate Collection, Book 3 (New X-Men (2001) #5-7)

“Kicks just keep getting’ harder to find
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind”

Because I’m a relatively mean and shallow person, I’m always ready to jump on a writer’s pretentions or missteps and there’s no one with a bigger target on his back than Grant Morrison. He’s written some seriously misguided crap; peppering his work with allusions to Keats or Milton and quoting The Kinks or William S. Burroughs or Little Lulu that I’m usually just too stupid to get. Yet the man is capable of some extraordinary work – brilliant, funny with plenty of love and respect for the history of comics. With New X-Men, one of a handful of Marvel titles he wrote, Morrison, in his manifesto included in this book, wanted the X-books to return to the halcyon days of Byrne and Claremont, exciting times before the X-titles became inert and mind-numbing. For the most part he succeeded. Back in the day, I remember looking forward to picking up this title in single issues.

This is the culmination of the run that Morrison had planned out from the beginning with the only head scratcher being the final story line from the future.



Wolverine recruits a drunken Cyclops at the Hellfire Club.



Along with Fantomax (Vive le Fanotmax!), their mission is to infiltrate Weapon X.



Logan learns Weapon X history stuff.



After hiding behind his Xorn disguise, Magneto, hopped on Kick (the song lyrics at the beginning of the review finally make sense), a humdinger mutant-power enhancing crack, does the full reveal and finally punks the X-Men.



However, his (Xorn’s) special-ed class is confused.



But Magneto goes balls to the wall to create a new mutant paradise in Manhattan.



…until the inevitable showdown.





Future times are a mixed bag.



Yep, Wolverine dies for like the millionth time…

The art’s also a mixed bag. Frank Quietly helped set the tone with Morrison in the beginning of the run. In this volume, a different artist takes a turn for each story arc. That includes Chris “Just-what-the-hell-am-I-looking at” Bachalo.

Bottom line: Aside from a recommended cracker jack run on this title, we owe Morrison an X-debt for Fantomax, Quentin Quire, the Cuckoo Sisters and Emma Frost’s white ho outfit. Thanks, Grant!!



No worries for Wolverine, being pee-shy is not a secondary mutant ability.

Crit Regarding Books New X-Men by Grant Morrison: Ultimate Collection, Book 3 (New X-Men (2001) #5-7)

SPOILERSWith this third Ultimate Collection volume, we witness the conclusion of Grant Morrisons New X-Men with three story arcs that are not only resolution but starting a new beginning.Following the last volumes cliffhanger about the disappearance of Cyclops, this book opens with his current whereabouts at the Hellfire Club, boozing and no longer declaring himself an X-Man. #142 is an action-free issue that centralises on the conversation between Scott Summers and Wolverine, two men who have

This was awesome, especially the last 1/3 (#151-154). Strong artwork, creative storyline, major and long-lasting events happened, what more can you want?

The writing in this book is solid. Grant Morrison is great at those serious, complicated plot lines. I wasn't expecting the twists. The entire time, the book was interesting and I wanted to keep reading. Things did take a weird turn towards the end, in a sad-ish way, but I guess that's alright. There isn't as much humour in this one. Everything's coming to a close so all world-ending stuff is happening. I wish there was more lightness to balance out the doom though.Generally, the art is fine,

I'm not a fan of Marvel comics, but the (first) X-Men movie by Bryan Singer impressed me, so I decided to give the X-Men another shot. I believe that I checked New X-Men Vol. 1: E is for Extinction out from my library, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found Frank Quitely's artwork rather off-putting, but it's grown on me. And I loved Grant Morrison's writing, especially the "manifesto" printed in the back, in which he said it was time to seriously shake things up, and to be accessible to people who

here's where it gets really complicated. the first volume is genius; the second volume is exciting but mediocre; and then we have the grand finale. suffice it to say that, even on a second reading, the last parts of morrison's run are gripping but still don't really add up.the cover of this collected volume sadly gives away the surprise twist that literally caused me to fall out of my chair when i read it in single-issue format, back in high school. but the twist and its consequences still hold

4.5 starsThis was a mixed bag of crazy good and just plain crazy.(view spoiler)[Even though the actual spoiler is the front cover, I'm still going to mark this...just in case anyone managed to miss it.So yeah, the Magneto is Xorn thing? I'm still not sure how I feel about that. It was equal parts cool and cheesy, and I'm not sure I understood the part where Xorn seemed to be talking to Magneto...does he have a split personality now, or did I just miss something? I also thought the way that Emma

Parts of this was so good and other parts just werent... the dialogue felt off to me also especially from Magneto. 3.5stars
