Book Reviews of The X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 1
Book Review: Ok, but 2nd tier title...
Summary: 3 Stars
The Omnibus series is great, reprinting the full comics. I read the whole series as a kid as we had all the comics (I have X-Men #1 framed on the wall, still a really cool cover), and was a big fan of the original X-Men, (liked them much better then the new X-Men). BUT, when reading them now, they just do not hold up as well as FF, Spidey, Daredevil, Iron Man, Hulk etc... Kind of like how some cartoons you loved as a kid are still good, but others you look at and wonder why you liked them...
The original X-Men was always a 2nd tier comic for Marvel. That's why they got very little of the top tier villans, and heck, ended up going into repeats before the big 'reboot' that brought us Wolverine and all (and made X-Men far more popular). They are just not as good as the other silver age Marvel comics.
If you know what you are getting, the Omnibus is great. But if you are a new X-Men fan, new comics or movies, or maybe read some of the other silver age Omnibuses and are getting this because you could never afford the real comics before, you might be dissapointed. These stories just do not hold up over time as well as others.
