X-MEN LEGACY: COLLISION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Mike Carey,Clay Mann | 112 pages | 07 Sep 2011 | Marvel Comics | 9780785146698 | English | New York, United States JUN - X-MEN LEGACY COLLISION TP - Previews World Not bad, but pretty forgettable considering I hadn't read the episodes before it. I read it a couple days ago and already don't remember much, but I did like it while I was reading it. It was good! The Children of the Vault are back, and the art minus the bland faces is pretty good. Definitely has a classic X feel, and I recommend it.

I enjoyed this one a good bit despite it featuring some villains that I would have been happy with never seeing again Some good character moments for Indra who has been a bit of a wallflower so far.

Marvel apparently has a thing about Magneto and Rogue being in a relationship sorta kinda? Jul 20, B rated it liked it Shelves: borrowed. There are so many "these guys just like mutants but they're not mutants. Feb 01, Silas rated it really liked it. This volume was an enjoyable read, not despite the fact that I wasn't familiar with the characters, but because of it. All I knew about him was that he was an Indian mutant who struggled with the violent nature of his powers and how they conflicted with his religious beliefs. That was enough for me to enjoy this story. This story does what makes X-Men comics great; focuses on This volume was an enjoyable read, not despite the fact that I wasn't familiar with the characters, but because of it. This story does what makes X-Men comics great; focuses on diversity. We have some American mutants who travel to India and there encounter an extradimensional advanced society that speaks Spanglish. There is a lot going on, and while I didn't know who some of the people were, I now have some experience with them. While there is a fair amount of action, a lot of the interest comes from the interactions between cultures and the individuals within those cultures. I might have enjoyed this a touch more if I had more experience with the characters I don't even know what some of the characters' powers are, and haven't even really retained many of their names , but this was a strong book, just the same. Oct 19, Ryan rated it liked it Shelves: justok. Another mediocre volume of X-Men. This time the mediocrity comes as a surprise because it is written by one of the better X-Men writers. Maybe the problem is that the characters are some of the newer, less developed ie. Or maybe the problem is the art by Clay Mann. It would be good if these were all new characters, but they aren't. Mann makes them all look about 10 years older, with the exception of Magneto, who is now somehow 25 years younger. And does it bother anyone Another mediocre volume of X-Men. And does it bother anyone else that Marvel has been trying to push this relationship between Rogue and Magneto? I know that time is sort of elastic within the Marvel Universe. But Magneto is supposed to be in his 50s and Rogue in her 20s. Weird and creepy Jun 02, Mike rated it really liked it. Wow, that's awesome - Carey writes an actual plot with real movement and conflict, not just angst and morose characters. In this context, a little angst and interpersonal conflict is actually good, useful and lends the storyline an emotional anchor. Much better balanced than some previous volumes. Interesting new characters at least new to me - Luz is a cool addition to the X-verse. What's even more fun is seeing the creators treat the secondary mutants without the constant explanations of their Wow, that's awesome - Carey writes an actual plot with real movement and conflict, not just angst and morose characters. What's even more fun is seeing the creators treat the secondary mutants without the constant explanations of their power set. Apr 17, Lavi rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-and-graphic-novels. This was the first X-Men paperback I have ever read I have recently developed a hatred towards reading anything on my computer screen. The art is awesome, the story interesting, albeit a bit taken out of context since I haven't followed the X-Men story line in quite some time. There are a few new young mutants I couldn't give two shits about, but I bought this for the two awesome dudes on the cover: my absolute all-time favourite Rogue and Magneto. So yeah, it was an awesome read and I recomme This was the first X-Men paperback I have ever read I have recently developed a hatred towards reading anything on my computer screen. So yeah, it was an awesome read and I recommend it to all fans of this universe. Also, I am about to embark on a magical journey of buying comics so, if you know any awesome ones featuring Rogue, please feel free to recommend. Jul 06, Jeff Harris rated it liked it Shelves: x-men , graphic-novels. This isn't one of my favorite story arcs that Mike Carey's done, but his writing is consistent and strong, as it always is. In this case, Indra got a huge chance to shine, and I really did enjoy what was accomplished with his character. The Children of the Vault made a return appearance, too, which wasn't quite as memorable This isn't one of my favorite story arcs that Mike Carey's done, but his writing is consistent and strong, as it always is. The Children of the Vault made a return appearance, too, which wasn't quite as memorable as their initial one in the "Supernovas" storyline, but was nice to see as a big fan of that first arc. Clay Mann's art is always a welcome addition! Dec 16, Steven Laverty rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novel. A very short story only four issues , so not a huge amount happens here hence the lower rating but there's a lot which is good here. Rogue and Magneto's characters are nuanced and interesting. I must admit, I'd never encountered the other X- Men featured here but they made me want to know more about them, although a few more familiar faces wouldn't have gone amiss. The biggest positive in this TPB for me was the strength and maturity displayed by Rogue's character. I look forward to see how A very short story only four issues , so not a huge amount happens here hence the lower rating but there's a lot which is good here. I look forward to see how she develops in future issues. All-in-all, a good graphic novel but feels very much as though it's main purpose is to act as a bridge between Second Coming and whatever is to come next!

This comic has been unfortunately fractured since Rogue became the lead, thanks to not one or two but three different crossovers in a year's time. Here, we finally get to see what Carey plans to do with his cast, and it's good stuff. Seeing Rogue and Magneto is great, but Indra nearly steals the show, and it's generally great to see Rogue in her new role of mentor to the young mutants. Magneto and Rogue are on babysitting duty in India. One of the new mutants brother is very ill. Meanwhile someone escapes from an alternative plane of existence. A good story with some nice character bits, especially the arranged marriage situation. Release date: UPC: Contains adult content? Does this pass the Bechdel test? Positive minority portrayal?
