The only thing good about this was the art work. The dialogue was awful and cringe worthy.
waltercorgkite's review against another edition
1.0
I've always been a big fan of the X-Men, so I thought this would be an interesting read, plus I got it cheap in one of the many "Buy one get two free" sales happening on the floor. These are the kinds of sales I'm about because you pay the highest cover price between the three books, and then you get the other two for free. Not a bad way to deal, right? And if you can't find three books, you'll often get the one or two you do find for 50% off.
So what's X-Campus about? Well, if you understanding fanfiction alternate universes, this is one of them. Welcome to the X-Men College/High School AU.
I wish I were joking.
At the start of the volume, we find ourselves with Anna Raven aka Rogue. She's struggling with whatever happened to her boyfriend when they touched, and has no idea what's going on. Mystique drafts her to the university, and suddenly we're meeting Hank McCoy, Ororo Munroe, Jean Grey, Professor Xavier, Bobby Drake, Scott Summers, and Logan.
Yup. The gang is all here. And they're confused about the changes happening to their body. As if puberty wasn't bad enough.
A bunch of other X-Men and members of The Brotherhood show up as the early works of both groups start to form.
This comic is so cheesy. I expected this, but I think all the cheese made me lactose intolerant.
Honestly, the cartoon, X-Men: Evolution handled the origin stories for the characters, and establishing the universe much better than this comic. There were some confusing plot holes that one would need some background knowledge of the characters to understand some of the subtleties of the character developments.
I can only recommend X-Campus if you want a good laugh, and maybe if you like reading alternate universes that probably are done better in fanfiction. Rather than read this, go watch X-Men: Evolution.
