5.0 out of 5 stars Kitty goes to college, Mar 13 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: X-Treme X-Men Volume 4: Mekanix TPB (Paperback)

The story line and the artwork are superb. Kitty Pryde has been and will always be the heart of the X-Men. This series is great both in terms of growth on her part as a character and the storyline itself is very interesting. If you like the character you'll like this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars good old-fashioned claremont, his best x-treme yet, Dec 9 2003

spacedog "spacedog7" (boston, ma United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: X-Treme X-Men Volume 4: Mekanix TPB (Paperback)

collects mekanix 1-6 limited series + the kitty story in x-men unlimited 36. i had been really disappointed in claremont's x-treme books thus far (including the terrible savage land limited series), but this book has redeemed the whole series. in general it has all the action and adventure of claremont's best x-men stories, although it may be a little too old-fashioned for some and the artwork isn't particularly distinctive (larroca does the short story but the rest is bobillo/sosa).

the first short story shows kitty at college studying nuclear engineering while working as a bartender at night. having turned her back on the superhero life, kitty tries to find meaning in her father's death (he died on genosha). the story is nicely continued in the mekanix series which has kitty seeing a psychiatrist and standing up against an anti-mutant group on campus. the series begins with a huge explosion in her lab, while the rest of the series concentrates on the return of cassandra nova's modern day sentinel robots from south america who, as a nice twist, are machines who can evolve and thus are pretty much unbeatable. xian (aka karma) makes her reappearance early on and it's great to see the two of them kicking ass, along with a new mutant w/ TK. a bit too much of the same anti-mutant stuff, but lots of good old-fashioned claremont action.

5.0 out of 5 stars The life of a mutant, Aug 13 2003

Keith Woodruff (Chicago, Il USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: X-Treme X-Men Volume 4: Mekanix TPB (Paperback)

The book is not all out action, with super heroes running around fighting the super villans. This book goes more into what living life as mutant is like. the hatered, the mistrust, the anger, it's all here. though the action is lacking, the story is interesting through and through.
