Serious Fans Beware, Sep 1 2003

Personally, I didn't like the writing style or technique. Though the idea was interesting for a fanfic, it has several flaws, most of them on a major scale. The most obvious difficulty in accepting this as a serious work of the X-Men is the time frame. The story is obviously supposed to take place between X-Men #25 and Uncanny X-Men #304. The time frame is established by the leaving of Colossus and the fact that Wolverine has not been "dismembered" by Magneto as of yet. This is impossible, since the events of those issues had very little time lapse between them. Yet Golden's story supposedly takes at least three days of time between the two issues. Further, Golden writes the novels in 1996, a full two years after these issues have taken place and several other developments have occurred in the lives of the major players in the series.Also, he fails to account for the absence of two of the major X-groups, Excalibur and X-Force, througout the novels. Further, he fails to account for the absence of the Avengers, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, all who have strong ties to Manhattan, the scene for the majority of the story. Personally, I think the story was poorly conceived, though the idea had merit. Another issue I have with the novels is characterization - Golden not only has written out Psylocke and Jubilee without explanation, he has also changed much of the idea behind the characterization developed by Marvel for the characters he does include. While remaining true to Cain Marko and Charles Xavier (to an extent), he completely ignores the characterizations developed for Storm, Jean, Rogue, Iceman, Archangel and several of the other characters that he treats dismissively. While most of the reviewers for this series have said they were thoroughly pleased with it, I was immensely disappointed. Though fanfic can ignore continuity, the author generally makes a introductory courtesy note of the omission to the readers. This prevents disappointment with the story on a whole. If you are looking for a good X-Men fanfic, there are several available on websites free of charge that are neither so long, nor so tedious as this. I am of the opinion that Mr. Golden needs to re-evaluate his next attempt to characterize the X-Men. And if Marvel is responsible for the editing on this series, they need to hire someone who can read for the *numerous* errors included in the manuscript.
