2.0

Приключения-злоключения очередных команд мутантов не слишком интересны, в отличие от путешествия Чарльза Ксавьера и Доктора Стренджа по волнам памяти профессора, в которые вдохнула жизнь сходящая с ума Алая Ведьма. Краткий экскурс по ключевым событиям и поворотным точкам в судьба Ксавьера и Магнето дает возможность узнать и понять их получше. В том числе и им самим. Ну и все это только прелюдия к глобальному событию.

Just an absolute mess of a story as Claremont sidelines nearly every character from the previous two Excalibur storylines to throw in some Hellfire Club and Weaponeers stories, and then dedicate just enough pages to the impending House Of M storyline to get the matching bookjacket.

You absolutely do not need to read this preview to follow House Of M. If anything, it will just confuse you.

Hay una historia detrás de todo esta información que nos da y es como todo está listo para el evento que viene. Casa de M y como Magneto y Charles intentan ayudar a Wanda en la locura que tiene. Prácticamente desde los eventos de Los vengadores desunidos nos traen a este lugar y a este momento, el momento en el que ha cambiado todo.

I plan to read the whole House of M series, and that means all of the volumes and sub-series concerning it. This is the prelude to the whole series, and all I can say is that, if the series continues to be this good, then I think I'm going to enjoy it.

This prelude was a bit vague for me, but I still enjoyed it. It had almost all the characters that I love in the X-Men. Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Wanda, and Magneto are among my favorite X-Men characters. I'm glad that Strange plays a huge role in this series because he is very much underrated. I also like that this is going to focus on Scarlet Witch because she's one of my favorite villains ever, alongside Magneto.

I'm not going to write a long review because this is just the prelude. I will be writing my review for all the volumes after I've read the single issues in chronological order. It's going to take a long time (maybe a week or two), and I'll be writing my reviews chronologically too (House of M, House of M Spider-Man, House of M Incredible Hulk, etc.)

it’s about Charles Xavier and I loved it! Not enough Doctor Strange

As a prelude to the House of M series, and being that I'm reading them in the suggested order ...I hope that the rest of this series is better. Most of this book was trivial details that didn't really have anything to do with the main series plot. so disappointing.

Starting the House of M series, which means a little background first! For me, the last issue in this collection was the most compelling, and makes a good prologue for what's to come!
