Uncanny X-Men Volume 1: Hope Tpb

What i love about Hope is that you can just pick it up and get sucked into the X-men universe. You don't have to read all the previous volumes to get what's going on. And to me that makes Hope a easy 5 stars. Also i love the team which consist of side character that sadly don't get enough time unless there in this collection of comics. Like Nightcrawler, angel, and so on. So go pick up this great volume of uncanny x-men and get ready to travel into one of the coolest universes out there.

I liked this story. There's a good tension that runs through it as well as a thread of hope (which explains the title). It's got some interesting twists in it. And the art is good.

This is a great book, it sets up all the characters ready for Chucks arc to begin. we get a refreshing new look at young mutants from Sammy and just from a misunderstanding we see the X-Men end up in a very dangerous situation.

The above review is about a different story. This story centers around an x-men story told partly from the point of view of a fish boy looking mutant recruited to Xavier's school(issues 410-412). He gets to ride along as the X-men investigate a distress call only to take on Juggernaut. Meanwhile we see a nurse who has fallen in love with one of her patient who is in a vegetable state, but a news report shows her that her patient might be a missing X-man. Back at the island a weakened Jugernaut explains that he called the X-men to help his best friend, Black Tom, who is undergoing a freakish secondary mutation. This is a touching story about friendship, love, and hope. I think Morrison's run on The New x-men is cool, but it makes everything sordid and icky. Morrison does this well, but too many comic writers try to do this and aren't as good. Austen just lets the good guys be good.

This book shows the Xmen at their best. It shows a radical twist of Xaviers dream, and brings the question, "What is necassary for mutants and humanity to co-exsist." Written by the mastermind that is Joe Casey. This Trade Paper Back is a must for a true X-Men Collector.
