Sixteen million mutants dead - and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century - masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match. Now, his entire Eisner Award-nominated run on New X-Men is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! Collects New X-Men #142-154.

Eh, I've kind of lied about the score. On it's own this part of the story is so jumbled and fanciful that I'd have given it a 1 due to sheer confusion. However I think that when taken with the 2 previous parts; this is a fine conclusion to the story and it forgoes the 3 hour tour through all the characters and locations we had seen in the previous two parts. I'm looking at YOU lord of the rings.

More Solid Work
May 6 2010
By Michael Taylor
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm not a huge afficionado of Morrison's work; before reading his run on New X-Men I'd only ever been exposed to a few issues of his Doom Patrol run, which I found excessively manic and unhinged. I really liked this though; it's easily the best run on the X-Men since Byrne/Claremont, and it rivals and surpasses their work at times. I didn't really see a big dip in quality in these issues. They seemed perfectly consistent with what had come before, and Here Comes Tomorrow is a great climax and resolution to all the disparate threads that had come to a head throughout his run, and it could have been a great place to build on if Marvel hadn't decided to retcon the whole thing into oblivion. The biggest hit to these issues is actually the loss of Frank Quitely, who completely drops out in these issues, but at least there's no more terrible Igor Kordey art.

Morison the Magnificent
Feb 18 2012
By Bismarck

Format:Paperback
Morrison's run on Xmen is fantastic. He understands and appreciates many of the characters and fleshes out their personalities well. The only character that Morrison might have researched a tad more is Beast. In the first volume, Beast is not nearly the fuzzy blue intellectual brimming with witicisms that we all know and love. Morrison does, however, correct this by the later issues. At first, New Xmen with Morrison is a bit of a slow start, but following the storyline through to the end, you see that it was well worth it. Intricate plot lines are followed through to their logical conclusions if you read the entirety of Morrison's run. A necessary read for lovers of Whedon's "Astonishing Xmen", as many of the plot devices referred to there (such as Cassandra Nova; Emma's secondary mutation) start here. Worth reading through to the end.

New X-Men, Vol. 3 Review

Oh yeah! The third trade for Grant Morrison's New X-Men is great!
Humans vs Mutants! So much hate! And in the middle there's the students at Xavier's School for the Gifted.
I can't tell you anything of the book, because I would spoiler it for you. If you've been following the story from the begining of the first trade, then I can tell you that, finishing the story is the right way to go.
Tough spot for the X-Dudes, no doubt of that. And Manhattan will feel rage of... KICK, the drug!
The art is way better than Volume 2. Phil Jimenez and Marc Silvestri's art is the best so far, and makes the experience even cooler than it is.
I give this book 4.5 stars
Ps: Beak Rules!!!!!!!!
