One ofthe strongest X- Menstories ever This editionnot onlyinclude the mainstory"Days ofFuture Past"but also severalissues before and after ofthe story. So, my ratingis anoverallaverage based onthe sumofallindividualratings per story.
Here I sit Now, for the first time, I realize how it must have beenfor the Professor allthese longmonths This is anastonishingaccount ofthe major events ofthe X-Menhistorysince its beginningto date narrated bynot other thanScott Summers aka Cyclops! Told fromhis personalpoint of view, he takes the audience inanuncannyjourneythroughthe happiest and saddest moments.
Alldone inone single issue! Definitelya marvelous reading. Myname The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past StephenStrange. I believe I am expected. Nightcrawler aka Kurt Wagner is celebratinghis 21st birthdaybut anunexpected gift takes his soulto a hellishplace that onlythe guest starringofDoctor Strange canhelp to the X-Mento go there and to help to save Nightcrawler's soul!
Myfirst mission-- Myonlyfailure. I'd beensent to dealwiththe Hulk. Nightcrawler signs up to go alongwithWolverine. WhenWolverine and Nightcrawler are able to reachJames MacDonald Hudsonaka Vindicator, he is onanofficialmissionofAlpha The UncannyX-Men:Days of Future Past, the Canadiangovernment's sanctioned super-hero team. Alpha Flight is trackinga mysterious monster and the teamis decimated due some members are awayinanother missionover USA, so Vindicator is havingonlyShamanThe UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past Snowbird.
Soonenough, Wolverine knows that the monster has to be the Wendigo, whichhe has some reckoningto do, so he offered his help to find the monster. One ofthe most famous and celebrated stories ofthe X-Mentitles, ifnot the best, or the onlyone able to compete against The Dark Phoenixsaga, but takinginaccount that Days ofFuture Past was developed inonlytwo comic book issues, that's somethingastonishing impressive!
Those "good ol' days"where creative teams aren't mandated bythe publishinghouse to extend anystoryline to 6 issues at least thinkingalreadyin the marketingofthe trade-paperback. Notice that here, Marvelneeded to "fillup"the TPB editionwithother issues to be to able to charge what theywant for the TPB KittyPryde is 13 and a halfyears old, makingher the youngest student ever The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past into the X-Menteamso far.
She is the newest additionto the team. She is shyand sweet. She is the onlyhope to save humanityand mutantkind. She is outspokenand driven. The Fantastic Four are dead. The Avengers are dead. The X-Menare mostlydead. And The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past like 5 mutants are stillalive but livinginconcentrationcamps. The Sentinels are rulingUSA. A crucialmoment, inwas the trigger to this dark future, so the solutionis clear So a bold planis forged to send the "conscience"ofthe old Kate Pryde to reachthe bodyofthe youngKittyPryde, back inthe past, to prevent that that future mayocurr.
Literallythere was a "before"and an"after"inthe X-Men's comic book historywiththe publicationofthis story. What amI saying?! Theyare all gone! I'mallalone! Shyand sweet KittyPryde is allalone inthe X-Mansion, but soonenoughshe willhave a lethalvisit and she willhave to deal withit allbyherself! A lonelyremmant ofthe N'Garaimonsters reaches the X-Mansionand it's up to Kittyto defend home against this nightmarish creature!

Well, I was bored to tears and this is mostlyThe UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past to the horrificallybad dialogue. Let the images carryyou. Fromthe trailers I've seen, it looks like the screenwriters are playingaround witha few ofthe roles eachcharacter has inthe originalstory- whichis fine byme.
I alreadyhave a deep rooted appreciationfor anythingpost-apocalyptic and Claremont and companyreallynailit. DOFP is the onlythingworth checkingout here.

But inearlythe pop-culture landscape was different. And thenyouopened it up, and youwere immersed. Wolverine and a brunette womanstand ina pile ofrubble, backs to a wall, staringtoward the reader.
Wolverine The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past, for some reason, gray-haired and aged. The previous issue had beenstandard superhero fare:The X-Menjoinup withsome Canadianallies and beat the crap out ofa furrymonster called Wendigo. The finalpage featured third-tier villainthe Blob escapingfromprison. No doubt manyreaders were expectingissue No.
Instead, readers opened to the first page and saw X-ManKittyPryde walkingthrougha bombed-out Manhattaninwhat looks like a prison uniform. Inthe previous issue, Kittyhad been13 years old, but now, she appeared to be middle-aged. This kind ofdisorienting, inmedia res opener had a smalldegree ofprecedent. Thenthe storywould leap backward immediatelyand tellthe wackytale ofhow we got there.
Over the next few pages, we see Kittyrendezvous withthe aged Wolverine fromthe cover image. Theytalk about the U. Kittywalks past a row ofgravestones withthe names ofvarious Marvelsuperheroes. She reaches some kind ofmutant gulaginthe Bronxand meets a sad, smallgroup of X-Men, includinganapparentlybenevolent and inexplicablywheelchair-bound Magneto.
More importantly, should it? We are toyingwiththe basic fabric ofreality. We periodicallyflip back to the actioninthe future, where the desperate band ofX-Mentake onthe Sentinels and failmiserably. Stormis fatallystabbed inthe spine bya spear. Everyone cries. Inthe present, Kittystops the assassinationand leaves her teenbody… but the storyends onanambiguous note.
Alltold, one would be hard-pressed to find a more death-filled, ambiguous, and depressingsuperhero tale published up to that point incomics history. Hell, eventhe death-of—GwenStacystoryinSpider-Manhad featured the bad guyThe UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past his just desserts.
Here, there was no lifeline ofjustice. How did suchanambitiouslygrimtale come to be? The behind-the-scenes storyis, inits ownway, a sad one.
Writer Chris Claremont and artist JohnByrne had worked onthe series together since and, inthat time, had rocketed it to the top ofthe sales charts. And now theywere breakingup. Marvelhad decided to put Byrne onFantastic Four. So theydecided to go The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past little nuts. Series editor Louise Simonsonwas ofa similar mindset. I wanna order a lot ofthat one. Byrne also knew deathwas a big draw, and needed villains who were up to the task.
Byrne was beingmodest. Ina strictlylinear sense, the storyforever changed the X-Menuniverse. Sincethere have beenaninsane number of sequels and revisitations ofthe story. The aforementioned Rachelcharacter soontraveled The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past the present and became a major player inthe X-Menand remains so to this day.
Ona more generallevel, the storyintroduced a motifthat would become, for better or worse, centralto the X-Menfranchise:time travel. Since then, the characters have beentossed back and forthinthe timestreamover and over again, creatingand destroyingparalleluniverses instoryafter story.

Eveninthose age, we alreadyheard somethingabout near future theme where Sentinels almost The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past all mutants. It was so cheap and inmint condition, so I didn't think longto buyit. The art was as expected for s Marvel's comic books. The basic idea was similar as inmovie version.

I stumbled uponit ina used bookstore that I hate and figured I was winningone back The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past the good guys consideringit's low price. I've beenwantingto read this storyfor a couple decades and never got around to it. Was it worththe wait? I'lllet you know ina bit.
The storyitselfis prettycool. Angelis back and the rest ofthe lineup is prettymuchthe standard Byrne-Claremont lineup. The dystopianfuture was myfavorite part ofthe story. I liked seeingFranklinRichards, RachelSummers, and a wheelchair-bound Magneto, as wellas bothWolverine and Colossus withwhite at the temples.
Do comic characters never go grayina patternother thanthe Reed Richards look? SpeakingofReed Richards, the graveyard withallthe superhero headstones init reallysold how bad the future had become after Robert Kelly's death. As for the present daypart ofthe story, it's pretty muchstandard superhero fare for the time. I did like that theyhinted about a connectionbetweenMystique and Nightcrawler wayback then. One observationI had was that Wolverine's healingfactor wasn't so ridiculous ineither branchofthe story.
Inthe present, he's brought to his knees byPyro's attack and, inthe future, he's roasted and killed bya Sentinel. Wolverine goes throughmore crap thanthat intwo or three issues ofhis current comic without missinga beat.
Claremont and Byrne raised the bar for other comics withtheir X-Menrun. Byrne's art was at the head ofthe pack inits dayand people stilluse what Claremont did as a model. So, Was it worththe wait? Let's just saymy14 year old selfwould have enjoyed it a lot more thanmy34 year old self.
It's stilldefinitelywortha read and was revolutionaryfor its time but it's a little onthe dated side. View 1 comment. A little dated, but worththe read for myX-Menreadingpurposes.

The whole ofEarthis guarded bySentinels, robots that were at first designed to guard and protect humans, untilat some point the robots decided that the biggest threat to humanityis - surprise!

Those who escape live indisguise onthe outer fringes ofhumanhabitation. This storystarts manyyears after the rise ofthe Sentinels. The start of the comic book is a little depressingbecause some ofmyfavorite X-Menhave apparentlydied at the hands ofthe Sentinels, leavingonlya few to hatcha planto save the planet Thumbs up for the good storyline The UncannyX-Men:Days ofFuture Past beautifulartwork.

I first read this book as a pre-teenshortlyafter seeingthe 's X-Menanimated series do anadaptationofthis comic. The cartoonand the comic have verylittle incommon.
I actuallyprefer the animated adaptationto this story. I believe that this storyis well-told, but it is hard to judge ifit should be considered one of the greatest Marvelstories ofalltime. I think youcould debate this frombothsides, so I'llside withthose that believe it is one ofthe greatest because it was ahead ofits time. Oct 29, Olivia rated it liked it.
