![]() Rating: - Ed Brubaker DeliversAfter the "Deadly Genesis" mini-series, I was highly skeptical when Ed Brubaker was announced as the new ongoing writer for the "Uncanny X-Men." It turns out that I didn't have anything to fear: "Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire" is a fun, rollicking space epic in the vein of Chris Claremont's "The Phoenix Saga." Brubaker expertly balances character development with action. With Billy Tan's pencils, it's almost a 5-star book...except for the villain. The villain--the third Summers brother, Vulcan ... Read More Rating: - THIS is why i read the X-men!To start, i was almost turned off to this by the negative reviews on this site. But when it comes down to it the X-men in space written by Ed Brubaker was enough to draw my dollars in. And i'm glad i went with my gut because this is what the x-men is all about. Professor X, feeling guilt over the Vulcan situation he created gathers a team of X-men to take into space to try to make right the situation and stop Vulcan from destroying the Sh'iar and his ex wife Lilandra.

If you like X-Men, especially Havoc (like me), this story will please you. Rating: - Brubaker has done betterI can't believe I'm the first to give this thing one star. I read "Deadly Genesis" when it came out, and thought it was ok. It seems like Brubaker is trying to do to X-Men what he did (much better) in Captain America; take a long-lost character, presumed dead, and re-insert him into the current timeline. The main reason it works in Cap is that BUCKY EXISTED PRIOR. To create a "new" Summers brother, and then use that character to spring board this epic space yarn is just lazy. It would have ... Read More Rating: - Rise of X-Men through Shi'arThe artwork was fantastic and the story was great. A little jumpy at times where I was not sure where I was in the story, but definitely a must read. For fans, like myself that have not read the X-Men for a while, pick it up. It harks back to the days of the 80's X-men hopping around Shi'ar space. I love the new team. I always liked Warpath and he was shown pretty well here. Although his full strength was never realized. Loved this story about the 3rd Summer's brother. Hated the cliffhanger ending, ...
