3.0 out of 5 stars not the best, Mar 16 2004

This review is from: X-Treme X-Men: Savage Land (Paperback)

This isn't the best of the X-Men I've been reading lately. Claremont has produced some of the greatest X-Men stories of all time, but here he falls short. Their time in the Savage Land gives an okay story, maybe one that would be really good if it were someone other than Claremont. The other X-Treme X-Men that I've read are pretty good though.

2.0 out of 5 stars definitely not claremont's best, Sep 1 2003

This review is from: X-Treme X-Men: Savage Land (Paperback)

it's not surprising that so many people are looking to sell their copy of this tpb, which collects the entire x-treme x-men savage land limited series. claremont's tired plot concerns the x-treme x-men's group adventure in the savage land in which they help an ancient dinosaur-like race called the saurids enter the savage land and then fight against an old savage land enemy brainchild to preserve the peace there. yawn. the saurids look way too much like the shi'ar race and the writing jumps around so much that it takes an effort to follow what's supposed to be going on. no character development, storm gets transformed into a primal state and then back (zzz), and threads that get brought up never get pursued (e.g. rogue's mental turmoil). kevin sharpe's artwork is competent, even though it pretty much just looks like slightly less slick versions of larocca's. this was one of the few tpbs i've read that i really had to make an effort to finish. this storyline is def. weaker than the first x-treme books, but i'm not much of a fan of either of those either for the same reasons: claremont just seems to be rehashing the same old plot devices with none of the emotional depth he used to reach. the story is a standalone, so you can avoid this one unless, like me, you just want to see sage in action, although she doesn't get to do much here.
