I thought this was going to be great. Jim lee, Rob Liefield, Marc silvestri...but its pretty terrible. I'm almost done it & I dont really care to finish it. I will but I am not enjoying this what so ever. Avoid this one. Only reason it got 2 stars & not 1 is because 75% of the art is good. The other 25% is awful & this story is very forgettable. Nothing really happens, nothing gets moved forward. Terrible. Do Not Buy!!!

Decent Collection

I read the X-tinction Agenda story when it was first published. As a kid I thought it was an amazing/serious story that ran through Uncanny X-men, X-factor and New Mutants. At the time it was a mega crossover story in the X-books. Jim Lee's art was superb, Rob Liefeld's work on New Mutants excited and I tolerated Jon Bogdanove's chunky X-factor pencils. I picked up this new collection to see how this particular story aged.
First, I want to say that this is a nicely packaged book. Marvel added the earlier X-story which introduced Genosha to the X-Men as well some bonus art. As for the actual story "X-tinction Agenda" hasn't really aged well. At the time the death of a member of New Mutants was supposed to be shocking. The return of Cameron Hodge as a cybernetic monstrosity now looks ridiculous (especially in some panels where he is shown with a cardboard suit hanging around his head for a TV show). Ultimately as put the book down I felt like this book was exactly what it was meant to be - a poorly executed money making crossover book. As a kid it was exciting but as an adult I was just looking at characters being driven by a thin plot.
The Jim Lee artwork is still amazing and worth the cost of the book alone. Rob Liefeld's work has only lost its appeal and Jon Bogdanove's work still hasn't clicked with me. For those that did enjoy this story this is a nice book.

Great story, uneven execution

I read this crossover event when it first ran through the issues of Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants. The storyline is good and Marvel was good enough to include the original 4 part story that introduced Genosha in Uncanny X-Men. Chris Claremont is at his finest and Jim Lee's art in the Uncanny books is just simply amazing. And then you have Louise Simonson. Hated her writing back then, hated it when I re-read the HC. Louise Simonson writes dialogue like she was writing for a radio teleplay... completely over the top and unlike any human being would speak. An example that just had me wretching; "Hodge, why have you brought that alien creature here, where I create the mutates who provide for Genosha's well being?" Really? Simply campy and awful. And the bad news is that she is writing 6 out of the 9 issues of the crossover. Mainly this book has made me look forward to the upcoming Claremont/Lee Omnibuses that are coming out in a few months. What if the Louise Simonson issues were written by someone capable? I guarantee you, with a story this strong this could be remembered up there with "Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Days of Future Past" if only Marvel had allocated the proper talent.

Brings the story line to life

From to a kid to a adult the story line in a one book format makes it easy with additional comics on the same timeline.
